The Hardware
A Xeon machine held for one customer
Taking a dedicated server means the physical hardware serves you alone for as long as the plan runs. The cores, the RAM and the whole width of the port belong to your account, and no other tenant ever turns up on the machine.
- 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.
Intel Xeon E-2274G
Four physical cores, eight threads, one owner. No other customer ever waits behind your workload.
32 GB RAM
Memory enough to feed a serious database, a full game lobby or a swarm of containers, with none of it held back.
HDD or NVMe
One question at checkout: 2×4 TB of HDD when volume is what you need, or 2×960 GB of NVMe when latency is.
100 TB bandwidth
The 500 Mbps port and its very large monthly allowance mean streams, syncs and downloads run without a meter ticking in your head.
Full Access
Root, and a panel installed before you arrive
You hold root from the moment the credentials arrive, while the preloaded Hestia panel lets sites, mail and DNS be run from a browser tab. Dropping to a shell is always available, never required.
- 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
For workloads a shared plan or a VPS cannot carry
Root is yours
Every switch on the machine is yours to throw, and the free Hestia panel is waiting before your first login.
One tenant: you
With no neighbours, performance stays predictable and the attack surface narrows to your own workload alone.
The hardware stays our problem
The operating system is your ground; the physical machine, the network feeding it and the datacentre around it stay on our watch at all hours.
Built For
Work where bare metal pays for itself
Large databases
Point every core and gigabyte at a large MySQL, PostgreSQL or analytics workload and let it spread out.
Low-latency game hosting
Latency stays tight for player communities that notice every dropped tick the moment it happens.
Applications carrying heavy load
Handle request volumes in the millions with no shared-plan or VPS ceiling hanging over the work.
The Process
Order today, root tomorrow
- 1
Place the order
Checkout covers two decisions — the disks and the operating system. A set-up fee never enters it.
- 2
We build it and rack it
We assemble the machine, cable it in and bring it online — 24 hours is the usual turnaround.
- 3
You sign in as root
The root credentials arrive, your stack goes on, and from then on the hardware answers to one person.

FAQ
Answers on bare metal
Who runs the server day to day?
You do. Dedicated servers here are self-managed with full root, which is exactly what keeps the price down and puts every decision about the software stack with you: what runs, how it is configured, when it is updated. To make the start easier, each machine arrives with the free Hestia control panel already installed, so there is a web interface for sites, mail, DNS and databases from first boot rather than a bare prompt. Our half of the arrangement is everything below your operating system: the physical hardware, the network, power and connectivity, and any platform-level fault, monitored and supported at all hours. Day-to-day administration of the OS, application security, user management and service tuning stay with you, though our team still answers the common questions and points you at a fix. Would rather not run the OS? Something like cPanel takes most of that work off your hands.
What OS options are on the table?
AlmaLinux 9 is the standard build and suits most workloads: a stable, free, enterprise-class Linux that is binary-compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, so software built for RHEL or CentOS runs on it unmodified. Want a different base? The other major distributions — Ubuntu LTS, Debian and Rocky Linux among them — are available on request, and full root lets you shape the system however the applications require. On the management side the free Hestia panel comes pre-installed, though you are just as free to skip panels altogether and drive the services directly, or to add cPanel under its own licence if that is the environment you and your clients already know. Name the operating system and panel you want on the order and the machine arrives configured, so the first day goes on deploying rather than reinstalling.
How long until the server is mine?
Usually within 24 hours of payment clearing, and often sooner. It is not the instant switch-on of shared hosting, because physical hardware is being prepared for you alone, but what turns up is not an empty box: the operating system and control panel you chose are installed, the network is configured, and the machine is ready for its first login, so you deploy from the first minute instead of watching installers. Have particular requirements — a specific distribution, a custom partition layout, a certain panel? Put them on the order and the build is done to match. If anything in the initial setup misses what you asked for, our team corrects it during onboarding. After that, hardware, network and platform support run around the clock for as long as the server is yours.
Put the hardware in your name.
Built, racked and root-ready within 24 hours — and if you are on our shared plans, the move across is free.
Get Your ServerSometimes 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.
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

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.

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.
