Choosing the Stellar client for the workload.
Stellar's documentation covers 3 node clients. You name the client, or describe the workload and we recommend one; either way it is built, synced and tuned for you.
The consensus node software; run as a validator (basic or full, the latter publishing history archives) or as a watcher backing Horizon/RPC (https://developers.stellar.org/docs/validators).
REST API for account/transaction history; nearing end-of-life with protocol-compat updates only, so best for legacy integrations and longer history windows (https://developers.stellar.org/docs/data/apis).
The recommended JSON-RPC API for real-time state, simulation and submission, retaining about 7 days of history; formerly Soroban RPC (https://developers.stellar.org/docs/data/apis/rpc).

The Stellar RPC node endpoint provider that hands you the keys.
Your Stellar endpoint lives on your own domain, locked to the IPs you allowlist, served from the city you choose across 18 Tier-3 datacentre locations. The node exposes JSON-RPC, REST as documented by Stellar. Live p50 and p99 latency for your node streams to your dashboard, and the 99.99% SLA applies in writing. New to dedicated nodes? The dedicated RPC node guide covers the model end to end.
Chain facts on this page are sourced from Stellar's official documentation, and you can check them yourself:
Stellar dedicated node: the questions buyers ask.
How long until my Stellar node is live?
A firm quote lands within the hour, around the clock. Go-live depends on Stellar's sync characteristics for your configuration and the client you pick (Stellar Core, Horizon, Stellar RPC); your quote includes a go-live estimate for exactly that setup rather than a number that is sometimes wrong.
What is included in the from $199/mo for my Stellar node?
Everything the node can do: no rate limits, every RPC method including debug and trace, unlimited connections, your own domain with an IP allowlist, 18 cities to choose from, a 99.99% SLA with credits, 24/7 engineer support and live p50/p99 in your dashboard. There is no add-on price list because nothing is an add-on.
Which Stellar client should I choose?
Stellar Core: The consensus node software; run as a validator (basic or full, the latter publishing history archives) or as a watcher backing Horizon/RPC (https://developers.stellar.org/docs/validators). Horizon: REST API for account/transaction history; nearing end-of-life with protocol-compat updates only, so best for legacy integrations and longer history windows (https://developers.stellar.org/docs/data/apis). Stellar RPC: The recommended JSON-RPC API for real-time state, simulation and submission, retaining about 7 days of history; formerly Soroban RPC (https://developers.stellar.org/docs/data/apis/rpc).
Does Argusnodes run Stellar archive nodes and trace methods?
Yes. Stellar's documentation describes full-history operation; we run Stellar archive nodes from $799/mo with trace and historical queries unmetered. Debug and trace methods are on for full nodes too, within their state window.
Can I run a Stellar validator with Argusnodes?
Yes. Stellar has a public validator role, and we operate validators under the same monitoring and support as RPC nodes, quoted per setup. Pick "Validator" in the configurator and describe the stake setup.
Can I migrate my Stellar endpoint from QuickNode, Chainstack or another provider?
Yes. A dedicated Stellar node speaks the same JSON-RPC and REST interfaces as the shared endpoint you use today, so migration is pointing your application at your own endpoint. Billing is monthly with no lock-in on our side, and support engineers are on the channels 24/7 during cutover.
Which city should I pick for my Stellar node?
Any of 18 Tier-3 datacentre cities across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific. Deploy near your users for an app, or ask us where Stellar latency is lowest for a bot; we answer from measurement. Need a city we do not list? Ask.
Are there rate limits or connection caps on a dedicated Stellar node?
No artificial ones. The machine is yours alone, so the hardware is the only ceiling: if it can serve the request, you can send it. There is no per-plan connection cap because there is no plan tier.
How do I pay for my Stellar node, and can I cancel?
Visa, Mastercard, bank transfer or crypto, billed monthly. Cancel at the end of any monthly term; the node is provisioned for you alone, so there is no meter to escape and no exit fee.
How does Argusnodes compare to QuickNode, Chainstack and other Stellar RPC providers?
Argusnodes is dedicated-only: a bare-metal Stellar node with no rate limits at one flat price from $199/mo. As of August 2026, per their own pricing pages: QuickNode sells dedicated clusters through enterprise sales without published prices, Chainstack bills dedicated nodes per hour on top of a paid plan, and Zeeve applies monthly request allowances on dedicated plans below its Enterprise tier. The comparison table on this page links every source.
