WHY DEDICATED RESOURCES?
Understanding the difference between dedicated and shared resources — and why we price each component separately for total transparency
The "Unlimited" Hosting Myth
Many hosting providers advertise "unlimited resources" or suspiciously low prices with vague specifications. Here's what they're not telling you:
🎭 Overselling Resources
They sell the same RAM/CPU to 10-50 different customers, hoping not everyone uses it at once. When your server needs performance during peak hours, it's fighting 49 other servers for resources.
⏱️ "Fair Usage" Policies
Hidden terms that throttle your server if you actually use the resources you paid for. Your "8GB" server might only have access to 2GB during busy times.
📊 "Burstable" Resources
CPU listed as "4 cores" but it's actually 0.5 cores guaranteed with "burst to 4 cores" — meaning you only get full power for brief moments, not when you need it most.
💾 Shared Storage I/O
Your server shares disk read/write speeds with hundreds of others. One customer's backup or mod download slows everyone else's world saves to a crawl.
THE OCN NETWORKS DIFFERENCE
Every resource you order is physically allocated to your server only. No sharing. No overselling. No throttling.
Dedicated RAM
Order 8GB? You get 8GB. Not 8GB shared across 20 servers. Your RAM is reserved exclusively for your players, mods, and world data.
Dedicated CPU Threads
Order 4 threads? You get 4 full threads of AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D or Intel Xeon power.Not "burstable" or "shared" — truly dedicated CPU cores.
Dedicated M.2 NVMe
Order 100GB? You get 100GB of enterprise M.2 NVMe storage withdedicated IOPS. Other customers' file operations don't affect your world saves.
Why We Price RAM, CPU & Storage Separately
Transparency and flexibility — only pay for what you actually need
Different Games Have Different Requirements
Rust servers need massive CPU for entity calculations but moderate RAM.Minecraft servers need lots of RAM for chunk loading but less CPU.7 Days to Die with Darkness Falls needs both RAM and storage for the huge mod files. One-size-fits-all packages force you to overpay for resources you don't need.
Scale Each Resource Independently
Start with 6GB RAM and 4 CPU threads. Need more processing power for complex mods? Add just CPU threads without paying for unnecessary RAM. Need more storage for world backups? Add just storage. You grow exactly as you need, not in wasteful pre-packaged tiers.
Complete Price Transparency
See exactly what each component costs. No hidden "resource fees" or surprise charges. 8GB RAM costs £X. 6 CPU threads costs £Y. 100GB storage costs £Z. Total = £X + £Y + £Z. Simple, honest, transparent.
Real Hardware Costs Real Money
Dedicated resources cost more than shared/oversold resources — that's physics. AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPUs, enterprise ECC RAM, and Gen4 M.2 NVMe drives aren't cheap. We show you exactly what you're paying for and guarantee it's 100% yours.
REAL-WORLD PERFORMANCE IMPACT
What dedicated resources mean for your actual gaming experience
| Scenario | Shared Resources | OCN Dedicated |
|---|---|---|
| Peak Hour Server Performance | Laggy, 20+ TPS drops | Stable 60 TPS |
| World Save During Battle | 2-5 second freezes | <0.5s seamless saves |
| Heavy Mod (Darkness Falls) Load | 5-10 minute startup | 60-90 second startup |
| 25 Players Online Simultaneously | Crashes, 200ms+ latency | Smooth, <50ms latency |
| Automated Backup Running | Server unusable for 10+ min | Zero player impact |
