Looking for a windows encoding server

Hi,
I'm looking for a dedicated server with specific requirements.
- dedicated machine , not shared RDP accounts
- minimum 16 core for encoding processes
- Windows server
- Ryzen 7/9 preferred
- 16GB RAM should be more than enough
- Disk wise just 256 SSD should work
- Location - no preference to be honest
- Payment mode - XMR/Monero preferred or ETH
The important thing is encoding process will be running for around 16-20 hrs continuously (StaxRip , HandBrake softwares) so it should have proper cooling system and the provider must allow full CPU usage.
Monthly budget in USD 80-120.
If you provide such services please leave a link/contact details.
Thanks

Hi! We can offer the latest Ryzen 9 9900, though it's slightly more expensive.
Location: Netherlands
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9900X
12 Cores, 24 Threads, 4.4/5.6GHz
Memory: 64GB REG ECC DDR5
Storage: 2x 2TB NVMe SSD
Port: 1 Gbps - 100TB Traffic
IP-KVM: IP-KVM by request
From €139/month Link to the configurator
If that works for you, we can install Windows Server 2025 Standard Trial (By default, Windows Server allows up to 2 concurrent RDP sessions.). You can specify this OS in the order comments when placing your order. We accept crypto payments via CoinsPaid and CoinGate.
Hey,
We can offer the following configurations:
VDS:
16 cores / 32 threads Intel Xeon E5-2697 v3 (can be upgraded)
64GB DDR4 RAM (can be upgraded)
512GB SSD
2 daily backups and 1 weekly backup included(or a different schedule if needed)
€70,-/mo
Dedicated server:
1x AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, 128GB RAM, 512GB NVMe, €100/mo
Wouldn't a GPU server suit you better for your use case?
We can also offer the following with an RTX 3060 12GB or 4060 8GB:
AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, 32GB RAM, 512GB NVMe, RTX 4060 8GB, €95,-/mo
AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, 64GB RAM, 512GB NVMe, RTX 4060 8GB, €125,-/mo
AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, 128GB RAM, 512GB NVMe, RTX 4060 8GB, €165,-/mo
This configuration is also possible with a Ryzen 5, e.g.:
AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 64GB RAM, 512GB NVMe, RTX 3060 12GB, €115/mo
Hi all, thanks for the offer.
@NovaCloudHosting -
Could you please confirm whether the CPU would be the i7-13700F or 13700KF?
My workload is CPU-based x264 encoding using StaxRip/HandBrake, and the CPU may run close to 100% continuously for 16–20 hours (sometimes). Can you confirm that this level of sustained CPU usage is permitted, and that the machine has adequate cooling without CPU/power throttling?
Also, is this a true bare metal dedicated server?
Regarding Windows, can you confirm:
Do you accept XMR/Monero or ETH?
@vsys_host -
My only concern is that the Dual E5-2630v3 platform is quite old for CPU encoding. Do you have any modern Ryzen dedicated servers available within roughly $80–120/month, ideally something like a Ryzen 9 5950X or another 16 core Ryzen?
I only need around 16–32GB RAM and 256–500GB SSD/NVMe, so CPU performance is much more important to me than RAM/storage.
Please confirm that sustained full CPU usage is permitted and that there are no CPU throttling policies.
Also, can you install Windows Server, and is the Windows license included/activated? If the license is extra, what is the monthly cost, and can I alternatively use my own key?
@introserv_rd -
The Ryzen 9 9900X looks very good performance-wise, but my preference is for at least 16 physical cores and the €139 configuration is also somewhat above my budget.
Do you have a 16-core Ryzen option such as Ryzen 9 5950X, 7950X or 9950X?
I don't need 64GB RAM or 2x2TB NVMe. A configuration with 16–32GB RAM and around 256–500GB NVMe would be completely sufficient if that could reduce the monthly price closer to $80–120.
Can you also confirm that sustained full CPU usage is allowed and that the server cooling is suitable for this?
You mentioned Windows Server 2025 Standard Trial. Do you also provide a fully activated Windows Server license? If yes, what is the additional monthly cost? Can I alternatively provide my own Windows Server license/key?
Also, which cryptocurrencies are supported through your payment processors? XMR/Monero would be preferred, otherwise ETH.
@Pjottertjah -
For my workload I don't really need a GPU, as I'm doing CPU based x264 encoding in StaxRip/HandBrake rather than NVENC.
Would it be possible to offer a dedicated server with a Ryzen 9 5950X or another 16-core Ryzen instead of the Ryzen 7 5700X?
I don't need 128GB RAM. Something like:
Ryzen 9 5950X / 16–32GB RAM / 256–512GB NVMe / no dedicated GPU
would be much closer to what I'm looking for.
Also, can you provide Windows Server? Is a genuine activated Windows Server license included in the monthly price? If not, what does the license cost, and can I use my own key?
Finally, do you accept XMR/Monero or ETH?
Whether a genuine/activated Windows Server license is included in the €105/month price
If not included, what the additional license cost would be, or whether I can provide my own license/iso?
Do you accept XMR/Monero or ETH?
Hey, yes, we could offer exactly this within your budget (on the low side of it even). However, we have run out of Ryzens fully. We can deploy your desired configuration, but it would require a longer commitment. Send me a DM if you are interested, and I can give you an exact price on that config
We still have a bunch of budget dedicated servers with for example an i5-7500T, might a big cluster work?
Running Windows Server is not a problem at all. Normally we deploy them without an activated license. You can use your own key.
Yes, we accept all of them.
Would this work?
Intel Core i9-14900K
32 GB RAM
1 TB NVMe SSD
40 TB @ 1 Gbps Port
Windows Evaluation installed (you can add your own license)
Location: NY, USA
Payment: Crypto widely accepted including XMR
Monthly: $119/mo
Thank you all for the quotations. I have enough information now. I’ll share everything with our team and send you a DM if I need any further assistance.
Thank you again.
