Overview

WholeSaleInternet is headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, USA, and is a cloud server and dedicated server provider known for "low price + large bandwidth". Its dedicated servers start at around $29/mo with 10TB-100TB high-traffic plans, making it a well-known budget dedicated server brand in the US market.

WholeSaleInternet mainly serves traffic-heavy downloads, video distribution, proxies and batch workloads, with its network and facility in the central US providing balanced coverage for North American users. Compared with European low-cost providers such as Hetzner, it offers more favorable local bandwidth costs and traffic allowances, making it a common value option when upgrading from VPS to dedicated servers.

Key Strengths

  • Extremely competitive pricing: Dedicated servers from ~$29/mo, with promotional models even cheaper, making it a top choice for budget-sensitive needs; compare costs with the cloud server pricing reference.
  • Large unmetered bandwidth: 10TB-100TB+ high-traffic plans with 1-10Gbps ports mean downloads, video and distribution workloads never worry about traffic overages.
  • Built-in DDoS protection: Mitigates common L3/L4 attacks and reduces business interruption risk; evaluate tiers with the DDoS protection buying guide.
  • Central US node: The Kansas City facility connects directly to US backbone networks, offering balanced latency across the US for North America-facing businesses.
  • Flexible delivery models: Dedicated servers, colocation and bulk deployment allow enterprises to scale bandwidth and hardware on demand.

Product Ecosystem

Budget Dedicated Servers

The core product is low-cost dedicated servers in the Kansas City facility, with multiple Intel configurations, 1-10Gbps ports and 10TB-100TB high-traffic plans for downloads, proxies and batch workloads.

Colocation

For customers bringing their own hardware, rack space and bandwidth colocation is billed by port and traffic, suited to teams that want full hardware control.

DDoS Protection

Built-in traffic scrubbing and attack mitigation defend against common L3/L4 attacks; combine with server initial security for a basic defense posture.

Bulk and Custom Deployment

Multiple-server bulk procurement and custom configurations are supported; use the server benchmark guide for hardware selection at scale.

Limitations

  • Single data center: Only the Kansas City facility exists with no multi-region redundancy, so cross-region disaster recovery requires layering other providers; plan with the cloud server configuration guide.
  • Basic management features: The control panel and automation are weaker than mainstream cloud providers, and some operations require ticket assistance, so self-service is limited.
  • Budget-focused hardware: Latest-generation CPUs and NVMe high-performance configurations are limited, which may not suit compute-heavy workloads.
  • Overseas latency: Geared to the US market, so Asian and European users face higher latency; add CDN acceleration to optimize.

Use Cases

  • Traffic-heavy downloads / video distribution (★★★★★): 10TB-100TB high traffic plus high-bandwidth ports keep costs controlled.
  • Budget-sensitive dedicated server needs (★★★★★): Dedicated servers from ~$29/mo are a natural upgrade after VPS resource limits.
  • US-local businesses (★★★★★): Central US facilities cover the whole country with balanced latency.
  • Proxy / crawler / batch workloads (★★★★): High traffic and root access suit bulk data tasks.
  • Global low-latency / high-compute needs (★★): Single facility plus budget hardware means cross-region and compute-heavy scenarios need another provider.

FAQ

  • Are WholeSaleInternet dedicated servers bandwidth-limited? Most plans include 10TB-100TB+ high-traffic allowances and some are unmetered; confirm the specific traffic cap of your plan before ordering for downloads and distribution, and see the cloud server configuration guide for bandwidth planning.

  • Is DDoS protection included? Yes. Built-in mitigation handles common L3/L4 attacks; see the DDoS protection buying guide for capacity and add-on options.

  • Is WholeSaleInternet suitable for users in China? With limitations. The facility is in the central US, so direct latency is high and there is no ICP filing support; it is best for North America-facing users or combined with CDN acceleration.

  • How do I choose between WholeSaleInternet and a VPS provider? Choose dedicated servers when you need exclusive hardware, high traffic and root access; VPS is more cost-effective for limited budgets and traffic, see the VPS vs dedicated comparison.

  • Which OSes are supported? Mainstream Linux distributions and Windows Server, installable and reinstallable via the control panel or support tickets; follow the server initial security steps after deployment.
