### Dedicated Servers

Starting April 2022, the TFGrid 3.0/a5 has support for dedicated servers. You can reserve a full server and the server is only usable for you, a minimum of 70% discount is given for this usecase.

- Dedicated Node, 192 GB mem, 24 cores, 1000 GB SSD = 75 USD per month (max discount, 3Y staking)
- Dedicated Node, 32 GB mem, 8 cores, 1000 GB SSD = 31 USD per month (max discount, 3Y staking)

Above example was with generous 5TB of bandwidth used per node per month, which is huge.

These nodes are ideal to deploy blockchain nodes, or other high demanding workloads. Dedicated nodes leads to amazing pricing.

To use a dedicated node, you will have to reserve a 3node for yourself in your admin portal of TFGrid, only you can then deploy on this node and there is no additional cost.
