What Cherry Servers does

Cherry Servers is a Lithuania-headquartered bare metal cloud infrastructure provider operating since 2001 (UAB Cherry Servers, Šiauliai). The company delivers dedicated physical servers — including Instant Dedicated Servers, Custom Dedicated Servers, GPU Servers, and a portfolio of Virtual Servers (Cloud VPS, Cloud VDS, ARM VDS, Premium/Performance VDS) — provisioned on-demand via a self-serve web portal and a REST API supported by Python/Go SDKs and Terraform/Ansible integrations. Its underlying platform combines 5th-generation AMD EPYC/Ryzen/Threadripper CPUs with DDR5 memory, Gen5 NVMe storage, and direct Private Network Interconnect (PNI) connections to blockchain infrastructure providers (Jito, TeraSwitch, AllNodes, DoubleZero) across seven data center regions in Lithuania, the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, the US, Singapore, and Japan.

The company's commercial core is Web3/blockchain infrastructure — it is the second-largest Solana server provider globally, with customers hosting over $10 billion in staked SOL — but it also pursues AI/ML, gaming, streaming, high-frequency trading, SaaS, virtualization, and enterprise workloads. Revenue is generated entirely through recurring subscription-style billing (hourly, monthly, annual) on dedicated compute, memory, storage, and networking resources, with discounts of 31–50% for fixed-term commitments. Distribution is direct-to-customer via self-serve portal and API, supported by a developer-led, community-driven GTM motion and a 4.6/5 Trustpilot rating.
