Getting started
From order to first login. What happens once payment clears, how the machine reaches you, and what to do on it first.
A Bullionet dedicated server is a physical machine in one of our French facilities, racked and cabled by our team. You get root on it, with nothing installed on top of the system you picked. This section covers the four things every new server needs: ordering it, logging in, reinstalling the system when you want a clean base, and getting back in when the operating system stops answering.
What you need before ordering
- A client area account on eclypse.bullionet.com, created during checkout if you do not have one yet.
- A payment method: bank card, cryptocurrency, or bank transfer and SEPA direct debit on request.
- An SSH client. Any recent Linux, macOS or Windows already ships one.
What comes with every dedicated server
| Included | Billed separately |
|---|---|
| Unmetered traffic on your configuration's port | Higher uplink tiers |
| Volumetric anti-DDoS filtering, always on | Additional IP addresses, from 2 EUR per month |
| Out-of-band IPMI/KVM access | |
| OS reinstall from the client area | |
| No setup fee |
The machine itself
| Component | What you get | Documented in |
|---|---|---|
| Processors | One or two sockets depending on the configuration: Intel Xeon, AMD Ryzen or EPYC. The core count and frequency listed on the configuration are the ones the machine has. | Ordering a server |
| Memory | DDR4 or DDR5 ECC. Capacity is chosen at order time and can be raised later through a ticket. | Ordering a server |
| Storage | NVMe or SATA drives in the front bays. Reinstalling the system from the client area wipes every drive. | Reinstalling your OS |
| Network card | The uplink your traffic goes through, unmetered at the port speed of your configuration. | Bandwidth and uplink |
| Out-of-band management | A separate interface to the machine, reachable when the operating system is not. Console, power cycle, virtual media. | IPMI and rescue |
| Redundant power | Two power supplies on separate circuits, so losing one feed does not stop the server. |
Suggested reading order
- Ordering a server for delivery times and how payment gates provisioning.
- First connection for the first login and a short hardening pass.
- Reinstalling your OS when you want a different distribution or a clean slate.
- IPMI and rescue to keep before you need it.
