Database Mart offers full-stack servers and internet infrastructure services ranging from basic computing to high-performance AI. Our main products include Windows/Linux VPS, Dedicated Servers, GPU Servers/GPU VPS (RTX 4090, A100, H100 for AI training and HPC) , Domain & SSL services, and LLMaaS AI API for large model access.

Standard dedicated servers do not support additional GPUs. However, Database Mart provides GPU-dedicated servers with independent GPU cards. Details: https://www.databasemart.com/gpu-server

Both provide dedicated GPU resources. GPU VPS shares CPU and disk among users through virtualization, offering flexibility and scalability but potentially lower performance due to resource sharing. GPU Dedicated Servers provide exclusive hardware access, ensuring consistent high performance for demanding tasks, usually at a higher cost.

Bare metal servers provide dedicated physical hardware with maximum performance, ideal for HPC, GPU training, or large databases. VPS is a virtualized environment on physical servers, with shared resources but high flexibility and quick deployment, suitable for small to mid-size applications and development/testing. Details: https://www.databasemart.com/dedicated-hosting

GPU servers have GPUs in addition to CPUs, enabling parallel processing for machine learning, data analytics, and simulations, providing faster computation for intensive workloads. Regular servers rely only on CPUs, which may not perform as well on GPU-accelerated tasks. More info: https://www.databasemart.com/gpu-server

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent/Inexpensive Disks) combines multiple drives into one logical unit to improve data security and read/write performance. RAID servers protect data during disk failure and enhance performance, whereas regular servers typically have single disks, offering less data security and performance.

Yes, we offer VPS plans with independent GPU cards at https://www.gpu-mart.com/gpu-vps. For higher performance, consider GPU Dedicated Servers.

We currently do not provide direct colocation services, but we can assist in arranging custom colocation solutions. Please contact our sales team for details.

Yes, both shared and dedicated IPs are static.

Yes, we offer managed hosting. VPS management is included for free, and dedicated server management is available as a paid service. Check more details at https://www.databasemart.com/management.

Yes, for advanced VIP services, please contact marketing@databasemart.com.

Shared Firewall: 2–7 users share a Cisco ASA 5520 firewall; no superuser privileges; advanced configuration may require support.

Dedicated Firewall: One user per firewall (Cisco ASA 5520/5525), full superuser access, independent configuration of rules and VPN.

No, all IPs are sourced from data centers.

By default, this is not supported. For special requests, email support@databasemart.com with the number of IPs, purpose, and desired product. We will evaluate feasibility.

Database Mart Linux VPS are based on KVM virtualization, while Windows VPS is based on Hyper-V virtualization.

SSD (Solid State Drive) is a flash-based storage device that is faster and more reliable than traditional mechanical hard drives. NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is an interface protocol designed specifically for high-speed flash storage, enabling SSDs to deliver faster data transfer speeds and lower latency compared to traditional SATA SSDs.

Our servers primarily use high-performance Intel CPUs (e.g., E5 series, Platinum 8160) and support various memory types including DDR4 and DDR3. For storage, we offer enterprise-grade SSDs and NVMe drives from kinds of brands such as Samsung and Western Digital. Exact models vary depending on server type and configuration.

Our VPS hosting uses pure SSD drives, and some servers are equipped with NVMe disks. However, we cannot guarantee that a specific VPS will be allocated to NVMe storage.

Yes, we offer fully customizable dedicated servers. Clients can choose CPU, GPU, memory, storage, and other hardware components to meet requirements for AI training, high-performance computing, or other specialized applications. Please contact our sales team with your requirements for more information.

We provide common OS options, including multiple Windows Server versions (2016/2019/2022/2025) and Linux distributions (Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, etc). Clients can use their own ISO files for custom installation on dedicated servers; VPS does not support custom ISO usage.

Yes, our dedicated servers support IPMI, allowing remote server management such as power on/off, reboot, remote control, and hardware monitoring. Some dedicated server plans also support iKVM. Please contact our support team for details.

Currently, we provide one redundant power supply per server, and our data center is gradually enhancing its power infrastructure.

No, VPS hosting does not include RAID by default. If you require RAID, we recommend upgrading to a dedicated server.

Yes, we offer M.S2 disks. Please contact us via a ticket if you require them.

Our servers use SUPERMICRO X9, X10, X11, X12 and X13 Generations motherboards. The exact model may vary from server to server. You can also inquire about the motherboard configuration once you receive your server.

Our VPS hosting utilizes pure SSD drives mainly, and some hosts are equipped with NVMe disks.

Different VPS host servers may have different CPUs, but most of them are Intel E5-2687Wv3 (3.10 GHz), E5-2690 (2.90 GHz) or E5-2697v2 (2.70 GHz).

No, VPS/dedicated server hosting is primarily designed for remote access and control of a server or a computer. While the hosting server allows you to interact with a remote system by transmitting keyboard and mouse input, it is not inherently designed to support audio input/output, including microphones.

Yes, our infrastructure is built on CPUs that support Intel VT-x (hardware-assisted virtualization). Here's how it works across different services:

Dedicated Bare Metal Servers: All of our dedicated servers support Intel VT-x by default, allowing full virtualization capabilities without restrictions.

KVM-based VPS (Linux VPS & Windows Desktop VPS): Our KVM VPS plans come with VT-x support enabled by default. You can run virtualized workloads (e.g., Docker, Android emulators, nested VMs) without any additional configuration.

Windows Server VPS: While the underlying host supports VT-x, nested virtualization (e.g., using Hyper-V within the VPS) is not enabled by default.If you require this feature, please contact our support team — we can enable it on a case-by-case basis depending on your use scenario. If you’re planning to use virtualization tools or emulators inside your VPS, feel free to reach out so we can help ensure the environment meets your needs.

Yes, we do provide VLAN support for our servers. However, please note that in order to establish a VLAN connection, the servers must be physically located within the same rack. If you are planning to deploy multiple servers with VLAN requirements, please let us know in advance so we can ensure proper placement during provisioning.

Our ISP provider is determined by the data center where our servers are located.In our Kansas and Dallas data centers, we offer hosting services with the following major ISPs:

AT&T, Spectrum (Charter Communications), Xfinity
Google Fiber, CenturyLink (Lumen Technologies), Rise Broadband

These ISPs provide reliable internet connectivity, ensuring strong performance and stability for your hosting services. Please note, we use public internet routes, not dedicated lines for specific ISPs.

We do not meter the bandwidth usage for individual dedicated or VPS servers. Each server can use the maximum bandwidth as the plan allocated (e.g., 100Mbps unmetered). 100Mbps unmetered bandwidth is around 32TB accumulated bandwidth per month. We do monitor the bandwidth usage closely in our network in order to keep all the clients happy. If you use too much bandwidth and affect the other clients, we may ask you to reduce the bandwidth usage since the bandwidth is shared with other clients.

We offer a private network or VLAN between our dedicated servers in the same rack. Please get in touch with us with your requirements for further details if you need that.
