FAQ

Straight answers before you buy or ship.

Do I actually own the server?

Yes. A server you buy through us is invoiced to you or your company and stays your property. We host it under a hosting agreement; at the end you renew, have it shipped to you, or sell it yourself.

What do I pay after I buy?

Hosting, billed monthly by the kWh your server draws (13¢–15¢ per kWh, lower as you add power), plus a deposit of 2 months of fees when you sign. Rental marketplaces take their own fee from what renters pay. We take no share of your rental income.

What's the real risk?

Rentals aren't guaranteed: a server earns only while it is rented, and hosting runs whether it is rented or not. Rental prices move, newer GPUs push older ones down, and hardware loses value. The facility has one power feed and no backup power.

Can GeForce cards (RTX 4090, 5090) run in a data center?

NVIDIA's driver licence for GeForce cards restricts data-center use. You install and accept the drivers on your server, so read that licence for your use, or pick RTX PRO 6000, H100 or newer, which are licensed for data centers. Ask us if you're unsure which fits.

Is a GPU server a tax write-off?

GPU servers are business equipment and may qualify for Section 179 or bonus depreciation in the year they are placed in service. That depends on your situation: ask your CPA. We don't give tax advice.

What hardware can you host?

Air-cooled GPU servers and rigs on 200–240 V power: RTX 4090 and 5090 builds, RTX PRO 6000-class workstation cards, and A100 or H100 servers. B200 and newer aren't possible at this facility yet, so ask us first. We confirm every server before it ships, and each is billed on what it draws under its normal workload.

My server uses less than 2,000 W. What do I pay?

It is billed as 2,000 W, the minimum per server. If you have several small servers, putting their GPUs in fewer, bigger servers usually costs less, and we can build those servers for you.

Can you build the server for me?

Yes. Ship us your GPUs and we have the server built at the facility. Each build is priced in writing before any work starts. The other parts are bought by you or passed through at cost. Every build is burn-in tested, and servers we build pay no setup fee.

Can you sell me the hardware too?

Yes. Pick a package or tell us what you want to run, and we quote a complete server from suppliers we trust, burn-in tested and hosted from the day it arrives.

Can my servers talk to each other at high speed?

Ask us first. The service includes one IP address shared by all your servers and a shared 1 Gbps fiber line, with no fee for data volume, no set speed per server and no high-speed link between servers. A dedicated line or extra IP addresses are available by quote, where the facility can provide them.

How do I get into a server that hangs?

Through its BMC (IPMI): the management port sits on a private network you reach over VPN, so you can open the console and reboot even when the OS is down. An IP-KVM can be added by quote. Outlets can't be switched remotely, so remote hands power-cycle a server on request during staffed hours, with no set response time.

Can I rent my servers out on Vast.ai?

Yes. You run your own Vast.ai account, listings and prices. Vast sets its own rules for its verified tier: today it asks for 500 Mbps each way and 5 forwarded ports per GPU, among other things. A server on the shared line can be listed, but we don't promise it will be verified. A dedicated line is available by quote, where the facility can provide it. Vast's rules change, so check them before you ship. Vast also says not to reboot during active rentals, and a remote-hands power cycle can interrupt a rental, so tell us if a server is rented when you ask for one.

Who gets the rental income?

You do. Your rental platform pays you directly, and we never hold or touch that money. We don't promise any level of rental demand or income.

Who manages the software?

You. The facility installs the operating system, without GPU drivers, and sets up the IP once, or you install your own through the BMC. After that, drivers, updates, containers and your rental listings are yours to run. Remote hands cover the physical work: power cycles, reseating parts and swapping spares.

When does billing start?

The deposit and setup are paid when you sign. The 12-month term and monthly billing start on activation: when your server is online and listed on a rental platform, or 3 days after we tell you it's ready, whichever comes first.

What happens when the facility has an outage?

The site has one power feed and no backup power, so outages can happen. If facility power or network is down for more than 2% of a monthly billing cycle, your next invoice gets a credit equal to the percentage over that limit, on the affected servers' fees. Utility curtailment, scheduled maintenance and problems with your own hardware or software don't count.

Can facility staff see my data?

We claim no right to it, and staff don't copy, change or inspect your data or workloads while doing remote hands, unless you ask in writing or the law requires it. That doesn't cover drives that are shipped, sent for RMA or sold. Encrypt your data.

How do I get my servers back?

When hosting ends, send us prepaid labels or accept our shipping quote. We ship within 45 days of receiving them or your payment. The deposit comes back within 60 days once your servers have left and everything is settled. If your last payment was by card, that's no sooner than 91 days after it.

Who is Endless Compute?

Endless Compute hosts GPU servers in the United States. It is a sister company of EndlessMining.com, the mining hardware marketplace that also hosts ASIC miners. Your hosting agreement names the company you contract with, and your account, invoices and payments run through EndlessMining.com. Questions: sales@endlessmining.com.
