Why teams pick Synteq
Real GPU compute
Synteq carries a wide lineup of dedicated NVIDIA GPUs at hourly rates that beat the volume clouds by a wide margin.
Pay for hardware, not the name

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions? Chat with us.
Yes, if you need raw compute: bare metal, real GPUs, and VPS priced for the hardware rather than the brand, with in-house support. DigitalOcean's strength is its developer ecosystem of managed add-ons, so if you rely on those it can still be the better fit.
Yes. Single-tenant dedicated servers with custom CPU / RAM / NVMe / GPU configurations are a core product. Many of our competitors don't offer bare metal at all - just virtualized products (VPS/vCPU).
Yes. Synteq VPS gives you a high-availability virtualized server on shared CPU cores with pure NVMe storage, KVM isolation, generous bandwidth, and the same in-house support as the rest of our products.
Yes. Synteq VPS plans are fully configurable so you can choose the exact number of vCPU cores, memory, and NVMe storage your workload needs.
Yes. You can start with your core resources and add block storage as your data grows, making it easy to scale for backups, media, and file-heavy workloads.
VPS shares CPU resources with other users. VDS gives you dedicated CPU cores exclusively yours. No CPU steal or 'noisy neighbor' issues. VDS is ideal for workloads needing consistent, high-performance compute without limits.
Yes. We support image-based migration and can match most deployment specs directly. Contact our team to scope the move.
