ServaRica ❯ UniFied FAT
ServaRica is an IAAS provider run by a small team of engineers from Montreal, Canada. While relatively unknown to the broader market, they have been in business since 2010 and are among the most affordable providers of cheap storage servers and high bandwidth in North America with an overall good track record. They currently use a strong anti-fraud protection mechanism that is known to trigger if you register your account behind a VPN connection or use a foreign prepaid payment card.
VPS Description:
Overview: This ServaRica VPS from Canada belongs to the "UniFied FAT" class, where each slice delivers 1 dedicated core, 4 GB of RAM, 250 GB NVMe storage, and 4 TB monthly data. In this configuration, a single slice provides the complete resource set. It supports both Linux and unlicensed Windows, runs on KVM, and comes with a 10 Gbps port alongside dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 and rDNS, while custom ISO installation is not available and port 25 is closed by default.
The Slice System: ServaRica’s "UniFied FAT" slice system offers fixed resource blocks. Each slice allocates a dedicated core, 4 GB RAM, 250 GB of high-speed NVMe storage, and 4 TB of bandwidth. This modular paradigm enables ad-hoc scaling and cost calculation based on the number of slices required.
Potential Use Cases: This VPS is ideal for applications that benefit from fast NVMe storage and high network throughput. It can host dynamic websites, RESTful API backends, or containerized microservices deployed via platforms like Docker. The ample storage and 10 Gbps port make it suitable for media streaming, lightweight file hosting, or data caching layers. Its dedicated resources also allow for moderate virtualization and development environments for testing high-I/O applications.
Critical Considerations: While the single-slice configuration offers a balanced set of resources, the fixed nature of the slice may not perfectly match all workload requirements. The inability to use custom ISO images limits OS customization, and the closed port 25 requires alternative arrangements for email services.
