# Order a dedicated server

> Order a dedicated server by selecting a data center and configuration, setting order parameters, and completing payment.

Select a data center and server configuration, set the order parameters, and complete payment. The server is typically ready within 15 minutes to 3 hours after payment.

## Tariff selection

Tariffs are available in two places: the [Gcore Hosting Portal](https://hosting.gcore.com/billmgr) and the [Gcore dedicated servers catalog](https://gcore.com/hosting/dedicated). Both provide the same list of servers.

In the Hosting Portal, use the **Data center** filter to select a location. In the catalog, use the configurator to filter servers by technical characteristics.

Select the preferred data center and tariff, then click **Order** (Hosting Portal) or **Buy** (catalog).

If none of the available tariffs fit the required configuration, [contact support](/hosting/contact-our-technical-support) with the number of servers needed and the desired configuration.

To order servers in multiple data centers, create a separate order for each data center.
