# Servers

> Where your workloads run on Tarout - the shared pool and dedicated Pro servers

# Servers

Tarout offers two ways to run your workloads:

## Shared Pool (Default)

Applications deployed to the shared pool run on Tarout's managed infrastructure. This is the simplest option - Tarout handles scaling, monitoring, and maintenance.

- **Billing**: Included in the flat Starter subscription - 19 SAR/month with 5 apps included.
- **Best for**: Most web applications, APIs, and microservices.

## Dedicated Servers (Pro plans)

For workloads that need guaranteed resources or more control, upgrade to a Pro plan and Tarout provisions a server used exclusively by your organization.

### Available Tiers

| Tier | Monthly Price |
|------|---------------|
| Pro Small | 399 SAR |
| Pro Medium | 849 SAR |
| Pro Large | 1,599 SAR |

Apps, databases, and storage on your dedicated server are bundled into the plan - no per-resource bills. See the [pricing page](https://tarout.sa/pricing) for current specifications.

### Getting a Dedicated Server

1. Open **Billing → Plans** in the dashboard.
2. Pick a **Pro** tier and complete checkout.
3. Tarout provisions your dedicated server automatically - new deployments land on it.

### Benefits

- **Guaranteed resources** - No noisy neighbors.
- **Full control** - Your organization's workloads only.
- **Predictable billing** - Fixed monthly cost.
- **Higher limits** - More CPU, RAM, and storage.

## Cloud Servers (standalone VMs)

Beyond app hosting, Tarout rents standalone **CPU virtual machines** in Dammam,
Saudi Arabia (me-central2) under **Cloud Servers** in the dashboard.

- **Billing**: Pay-as-you-go, per hour, from your prepaid compute wallet - no
  subscription needed. Each size shows its hourly and approximate monthly price
  before you create it.
- **Add-ons billed hourly from the same wallet**, whether or not the server is
  running:
  - **Additional volumes** - per GB, priced by disk type (standard ≈ 0.49,
    balanced ≈ 1.22, SSD ≈ 2.07 SAR per GB per month).
  - **Snapshots** - ≈ 0.32 SAR per GB of the server's disk per month.
  - **Reserved static IPs** - 28.80 SAR per month each, attached or not.
- Each resource is charged in whole halalas every hour, so small volumes and
  snapshots cost slightly more than the per-GB rate suggests. The dashboard
  always shows the exact monthly amount you will be charged.
- The boot disk and the server's default external IP are included in the
  server's hourly price.
- **When the wallet runs out**: a running server keeps running for 72 hours,
  billed into a negative balance, and is then stopped (its disk is kept).
  Volumes, snapshots and reserved IPs keep billing into the negative balance and
  are never deleted automatically. The next top-up settles the balance.

### Terminating a server

Terminating deletes the server and everything on its boot disk. The terminate
dialog also lists the server's volumes, snapshots and reserved IP, all ticked
for deletion. Untick anything you want to keep: it is detached, keeps billing,
and appears under **Kept storage** on the Servers page until you delete it. From
the CLI, `tarout servers terminate <server>` takes `--keep-volumes`,
`--keep-snapshots` and `--keep-ips`, and `tarout servers kept-storage` lists
what you kept.

> **GPU servers are not available yet.** Only CPU servers can be rented today.
