# Self-Hosted Cluster of Nodes

For mid- and large-sized businesses, VCs and Web3 projects, we offer [high-availability clusters of nodes](https://rpcfast.com/dedicated-cluster) (2+) on almost **any chain of your choice,** whether your goal is to run a validator, RPC nodes for blockchain analytics and [HFT](https://rpcfast.com/solana-trading-node), or archive nodes for data ETL solutions.

## Self-Hosted Cluster on a Blockchain of Your Choice

The self-hosted cluster offers advantages such as load balancing, autoscaling, speed optimization, geo-distribution, and HFT-focused tools, based on the client's business goals.

{% hint style="info" %}
Deployment and maintenance of EVM-based blockchain nodes will most likely take place in the cloud, mainly in GCP.
{% endhint %}

## Pricing

We spin up a minimum of two nodes within the high-availability node cluster. In the case of the cluster of validator nodes, we spin up one standby node in addition to the main node, to ensure 99-100% uptime and stable performance.

* For a cluster of 2+ bare-metal servers, the monthly price for our services (setup and maintenance) starts from **$2,000/month + server cost.** The server price depends on geolocation and load profile and server specs, plus any custom tools/requests placed.
* Adding one more blockchain to a cluster of nodes: **+ $1,000/month** (setup and maintenance).
* The load balancer is an additional feature depending on a data center's underlayer.
* Add-on fee (one-time, for extra expenses): **$200-400** per every setup up to 8 nodes.

## Terms

**Setup timeline: \~5-7 working days** (after the server is delivered from the data center, which normally happens within 72hrs).

**Minimum contract length:** **3 months,** with the possibility of extension for an additional 3–12 months. We kindly ask for a **2-4 weeks notice** in the event of contract cancellation, to allow us sufficient time to make the necessary arrangements on our end.

**Payment:** **A flat monthly prepayment.** Both crypto and bank payments are accepted.

**Billing period:** Starts upon receipt of the server from the data center.

{% hint style="success" %}
RPC Fast provides a fallback service (such as automated traffic rerouting to a healthy node during downtime or scheduled maintenance) with a load balancer.
