NVIDIA L4 dedicated server for AI inference and video
The NVIDIA L4 is a data center GPU built on the Ada Lovelace architecture. It combines 24 GB of memory with a power draw of only 72 W, which makes it one of the most cost-efficient cards for running AI models in production. At IPHOST the L4 comes in a dedicated server: the card, the processor, the memory and the storage are yours alone, with no virtualization layer and no other clients on the same GPU.
NVIDIA L4 specs

Server configuration
The L4 plan runs on an HPE DL365 Gen10 Plus (1U) with one AMD EPYC 7763 (64 cores, 128 threads, PCIe Gen4), 256 GB of DDR4-3200 ECC RAM and two 3.84 TB NVMe U.3 drives in RAID 1. It includes a 1 Gbps network port with 30 TB of monthly traffic, one IPv4 address, basic DDoS protection and iLO remote management.
What you can run on an NVIDIA L4
- LLM inference – 7–8B models such as Llama 3.1 8B or Mistral 7B in FP16, and models up to about 30B when quantized to 4-bit, served through Ollama or vLLM.
- Video transcoding and streaming – the L4 is the only card in our range with hardware AV1 encoding, well suited for live streams and video platforms.
- Computer vision and speech – object detection, OCR, Whisper speech-to-text and embeddings with steady latency.
- Image generation – Stable Diffusion and SDXL at standard resolutions.
- Virtual desktops – GPU-accelerated remote workstations for design and CAD.
NVIDIA L4 price and billing
The price in the table above is the monthly price with quarterly billing, 3 months in advance. If you pay for 12 months, you get 2 months free: you pay for 10 months instead of 12. GPU servers are activated on pre-order within 14 days; if we miss the date, you get a full refund.
L4 or a bigger GPU?
Choose the L4 when your models fit in 24 GB and you care about cost per request and power efficiency. For 70B models, high-resolution image generation or 3D rendering, see the NVIDIA A40 dedicated server. For training and fine-tuning, see the 2x NVIDIA A100 dedicated server. All plans are listed on the GPU server hosting page.
