Bare metal being prepared for one tenant and no neighbours at all

The Hardware

Xeon hardware reserved to one customer account and nobody else

Order a dedicated server and its physical hardware works for your account alone. That arrangement lasts as long as the plan does, and no one else draws on it. Cores, memory and the full width of the network port go down against your name. No second tenant is going to turn up on that box later on.

  • Intel Xeon E-2274G, 4c/8t
  • 32 GB RAM
  • NVMe or HDD storage
  • 500 Mbps port, 100 TB/mo

Under The Hood

The parts doing the work

AlmaLinux 9 goes on unless you name another distribution — just say. cPanel can be fitted too, under a licence of its own.

A Xeon chassis lying open, memory slots and drive bays both on show

Intel Xeon E-2274G

Eight threads run across four physical cores, and one name holds the lot. No other tenant's workload ever competes with yours.

32 GB RAM

Databases that push hard will take what they need from memory here. A game lobby at full capacity puts the same demand on it. Container swarms do too, and not one gigabyte is reserved elsewhere.

HDD or NVMe

Only the disks are left for you to decide on the order form. Pick 2×4 TB of HDD where room is what you lack, or 2×960 GB of NVMe where latency is.

100 TB bandwidth

Traffic leaves by a 500 Mbps port whose monthly allowance nobody bothers tracking. Streams carry on and syncs reach their end without an interruption. Downloads land the same way, with the gigabytes going uncounted.

The London hall the hardware behind this account actually sits in

Full Access

Full root access, with a control panel already sitting on the box

Root belongs to you from the minute the credentials land, and Hestia comes preloaded, ready to run sites, mail and DNS from a browser tab, which makes a shell optional rather than compulsory. Open one anyway. Whether you use it every day or never at all is your call. Leave it shut.

  • A root login with no limits
  • The Hestia panel already installed, free
  • Whichever Linux distribution you ask for
  • cPanel added on request

Why Bare Metal

The point where a shared plan, or even a VPS, stops carrying the workload

Rack-mounted hardware set aside under one account name

Root is yours

Every switch on the machine is yours to throw; it answers to you alone, and the free Hestia panel was installed and waiting before your first login. Nobody vets the change. You make it and it stands.

One tenant: you

With a single tenant holding the hardware, performance stops surprising you. Your attack surface narrows to the software you chose to run. Nobody else has an account anywhere on that box.

The hardware stays our problem

Above the operating system, every decision belongs to you, and below it we look after the physical box, the network feeding it and the datacentre holding them both. The line sits there by design. Watch goes on at every hour of the day.

Built For

Jobs where bare metal earns back what it costs

Database work and game-server traffic sharing one dedicated machine

Large databases

A heavy MySQL or PostgreSQL job, or an analytics workload, gets the whole machine to itself. Cores and memory are both there for it to stretch into.

Low-latency game hosting

A dropped tick never escapes a player community; they clock it the moment it happens. Latency holds where you need it.

Applications carrying heavy load

Millions of requests can land here without meeting a ceiling. A shared plan would set one overhead, and so would a VPS.

The Process

Order today, root tomorrow

Every stage of the build, running from assembly to the handover of root credentials
  1. 1

    Place the order

    Two questions come up at checkout: which disks, and which operating system. Set-up itself carries no charge at all.

  2. 2

    We build it and rack it

    Our engineers put the hardware together, rack it, run the cabling and bring it up on power. Most builds are done inside 24 hours.

  3. 3

    You sign in as root

    Login details for root are handed over to you. Your own stack then goes on top of the build. From there the machine answers to one account only.

  • Mail, databases and sites all carried over
  • Done end to end by our engineers
  • As little downtime as the physics allows

FAQ

Answers on bare metal

Who runs the server day to day?

You do. A dedicated server here is self-managed with full root, and that is precisely what holds the price down while handing you every decision about the software stack: what runs, how it is configured, when it gets updated. To soften the first day, each machine turns up with the free Hestia control panel already installed, so a web interface for sites, mail, DNS and databases is waiting at first boot instead of a bare prompt. Our side of the deal is everything below your operating system: the physical hardware, the network, power and connectivity, and any platform-level fault, watched and supported at all hours. Routine administration of the OS, application security, user management and service tuning belong to you, although our team still fields the common questions and points you towards a fix. Not keen on running an operating system? Something like cPanel lifts most of that work away.

What OS options are on the table?

The standard build is AlmaLinux 9, which suits most workloads: a stable, free, enterprise-class Linux that is binary-compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, so anything compiled for RHEL or CentOS runs on it unchanged. Would you rather start from a different base? Other major distributions, Ubuntu LTS, Debian and Rocky Linux among them, can be supplied on request, and full root lets you shape the system to whatever the applications demand. For management, the free Hestia panel arrives pre-installed, though you are equally welcome to drop panels entirely and drive the services yourself, or to add cPanel under its own licence if that is the environment you and your clients already know. Put the operating system and panel you want on the order, and the machine arrives configured, so day one goes on deploying rather than reinstalling.

How long until the server is mine?

Normally inside 24 hours of the payment clearing, and frequently sooner than that. This is not the instant switch-on of shared hosting, since physical hardware is being made ready for you alone, but nothing empty turns up: the operating system and control panel you picked are installed, the network is configured, and the machine sits ready for its first login, so you deploy from minute one rather than watching installers grind. Got particular requirements, a specific distribution, a custom partition layout, a certain panel? Write them on the order and the build follows them. Should anything in that first setup miss what you asked for, our team puts it right during onboarding. From then on, hardware, network and platform support carry on around the clock for as long as the server stays yours.

Built, racked and root-ready within 24 hours — and if you are on our shared plans, the move across is free.

Get Your Server

Sometimes virtual stops being the answer: a database that wants every core, a compliance clause that rules out shared tenancy, or a workload that simply needs the whole machine. It runs on NVMe arrays with LiteSpeed in front, in data centres with conditioned power and more than one way out to the internet.

A good match for teams that want every core of the hardware to themselves. Certificates cost nothing, the migration costs nothing, backups run by themselves, and support answers quickly whatever the hour.

An entire machine with a single tenant

You get bare-metal Xeon hardware with full root, no hypervisor between the workload and the silicon, and no neighbours competing for cache. Specify the disks, the memory and the network yourself; we rack the machine in our London datacentre and hand it over with out-of-band access.

Monitoring never looks away. If a machine falters an engineer is on it before your server notices, which is how a 99.9% uptime figure keeps meaning something.

When dedicated hardware pays for itself

Check the price once and you are finished. The renewal matches the sign-up, promotional rates are marked as promotional, and the renewal figure sits beside them so you can do the arithmetic yourself. Servers are built to order for you alone, so they sit outside the money-back window; talk to us before committing and we will size the machine honestly.

A dedicated box costs more than a VPS, as renting an entire machine should. What it never does is drift: the monthly figure holds, and the specification you ordered is the one that stays racked.

Bare metal being prepared for one tenant and no neighbours at all

What goes into the rack for you

Machines sit in our London datacentre on conditioned power, with redundant network paths and DDoS filtering at the edge. Our engineers handle the hardware, the swaps and the hands-on work, while the operating system stays entirely yours.

Patching is ours. Our engineers roll kernel updates, panel releases and PHP versions across the fleet, so staying current never depends on your memory.

  • Single-tenant bare-metal Xeon machines
  • Remote hands plus out-of-band access
  • a 99.9% uptime SLA backed by service credits
  • Daily backups you restore yourself, in one click

Good to Know

More that's built in

Benchmarks that never wander

Zero hypervisor, zero neighbours, zero shared cycles. Day-one performance is permanent performance.

A panel that stays out of the way

The controls sit where instinct expects them, which is most of what a decent panel owes anybody.

Scale up without relocating

Outgrowing a tier is fixed with one click in the panel rather than a migration eating your weekend.

Free to leave any time

No proprietary lock-in and no exit fees; we would rather earn the renewal than trap it.

Quick with zero tuning

Speed is the starting point: NVMe arrays and caching at the server make a server quick on day one.

SSL included free

HTTPS is arranged on each domain, free to issue and free to renew, for as long as the account exists.

Getting Going

Getting going takes three steps

  1. 1

    Select a tier

    Give us the cores, the memory and the disk the workload needs.

  2. 2

    Hook up the domain

    We rack it, set it up, and hand over root along with out-of-band access.

  3. 3

    Open for traffic

    Move the workload over, with migration help from our team at no charge.

In Every Plan

Thrown in without an extra charge

  • Built to order, so the specification is agreed with you first
  • A single-tenant box with full root
  • On-site engineers swap failed hardware
  • Backups taken automatically every day, all plans

  • Humans answering support 24 hours a day
  • NVMe storage standard, never an upsell
  • Renewal billed at your original sign-up rate

Still Curious

Questions that keep coming up

How long is the lead time on a dedicated server?

A standard build is normally handed over inside the same working day. Custom disk or memory layouts take longer, with the delivery date confirmed before you order rather than afterwards. Either way, migration help from our engineers is included at no cost.

Do I wait around after ordering?

A working account reaches you within minutes of payment. Coming from another provider? Give us the login and the transfer is run by our engineers free, usually within a day.

Do certificates cost anything?

Free, installed, and renewing by itself. You would only buy a certificate for a wildcard or for a validated seal that procurement insists on.

What if dedicated server hosting proves to be the wrong size?

Machines like these are put together to your specification, so they carry no money-back window, which is why we would rather get the sizing right at the outset than sell you more than you need. Tell the team the workload before ordering and they will recommend a tier honestly. Outgrowing it later is a resize rather than a repurchase.
