Specs
Xeon hardware, reserved for one customer
Buy a dedicated server and the physical box is yours for as long as you keep it. Every core, every gigabyte of memory and every megabit of the port is counted to your account and to nobody else's.

- NVMe or HDD storage
- 500 Mbps port, 100 TB/mo
Inside The Box
What's actually in it
AlmaLinux 9 is the default; ask and we'll install something else. cPanel is available too, under its own separate licence.
Intel Xeon E-2274G
Four physical cores and eight threads, all reporting to you. Nobody else is queued behind them.
32 GB RAM
Room to run heavy databases, a busy game server or a stack of containers without rationing memory.
HDD or NVMe
Take 2×4 TB HDD when you need the space, or 2×960 GB NVMe when you need the speed. You decide at checkout.
100 TB bandwidth
A 500 Mbps port with a generous monthly allowance, so streaming, syncing and serving never feel metered.
Access
Root access with a panel already fitted
Root is yours from the first login, and Hestia comes pre-installed so sites, mailboxes and DNS can be handled from a screen. The terminal sits there for when you want it, not because you have to use it.
- Unrestricted root login
- Hestia panel at no cost
- The Linux distribution you name
- cPanel available on request
Why Go Dedicated
When shared hosting and a VPS run out of room
The root password is yours
Complete command of the machine, with the free Hestia panel installed and waiting for you.
Nobody else on the box
One tenant means performance you can predict and a much smaller surface for anyone to poke at.
We keep the metal running
Run the operating system your way. The hardware, the network and the datacentre stay our job, day and night.
Best For
Where bare metal earns its keep
Heavy databases
Hand a whole machine's cores and memory to a large MySQL, PostgreSQL or analytics workload.
Game servers
Low latency for communities where a dropped frame gets noticed straight away.
Sites under real load
Serve millions of requests without running into the ceilings shared hosting and a VPS put in your way.

FAQ
Dedicated server questions
Who administers the server?
You do. A dedicated server here is self-managed with full root access, which is exactly what keeps the price where it is and hands you the final say over the software stack — what goes on it, how it is configured, and when it gets updated. To flatten the learning curve, every machine arrives with the free Hestia control panel already installed, so you get 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 — watched and supported 24/7. Day-to-day administration of the OS, securing applications, managing users and tuning services stays with you, though our team still answers the common questions and steers you toward a fix. Would rather not run the OS at all? A panel such as cPanel automates most of that work.
Which operating systems can I have?
AlmaLinux 9 is the default, and it suits most workloads: a stable, free, enterprise-grade Linux that is binary-compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, so anything written for RHEL or CentOS runs on it unchanged. Want something else? Other major distributions — Ubuntu LTS, Debian and Rocky Linux among them — are available on request, and full root access means the OS can be configured however your applications need it. On the panel side, the free Hestia control panel comes pre-installed, though you are welcome to run the server with no panel at all and manage services directly, or add cPanel under its own licence if that is the environment you and your clients already know. Tell us your preferred OS and panel when you order and the machine is handed over ready to use, so nobody spends their first day reinstalling.
How soon is the server handed over?
Usually inside 24 hours of your payment clearing, and often sooner. It is not the instant activation you would get with shared hosting, because real hardware is being prepared for you alone. What you receive is not a blank box either: it comes with your chosen operating system and control panel installed, the network configured, and everything ready for a first login, so you can start deploying instead of running installers. Have particular requirements — a specific distribution, a partition layout, a certain panel? Say so on the order and we build it that way from the outset. If anything about the initial build does not match what you asked for, our team puts it right during onboarding. After that, hardware, network and platform support carry on around the clock for as long as the server is yours.
Take the machine.
Racked and handed over inside 24 hours with root access — plus a free move from our shared hosting if you need one.
Order A ServerThere is a point where virtual stops being the right answer: a database that wants every core, a compliance rule about shared tenancy, or a workload that simply needs the whole box. It runs on NVMe arrays with LiteSpeed in front, in data centres with conditioned power and more than one road to the internet.
A good fit for teams that need the whole machine to themselves. The certificate is free, the move is free, the backups run themselves, and support answers in minutes whatever the clock says.
The whole machine, nobody else on it
You get bare-metal Xeon hardware with full root, no hypervisor between your workload and the silicon, and no neighbours sharing the cache. Specify the disks, memory and network you need; the machine is racked in a tier-3 hall and handed over with out-of-band access.
The platform is watched every minute of the day. When a machine wobbles an engineer is already looking at it before your server has time to notice, which is how a 99.9% uptime figure stays honest.
When a dedicated box earns its money
Read the price tag once and you are finished. Renewal matches sign-up, promotional rates are labelled as promotional, and the renewal figure is printed next to them so the arithmetic is yours to check. Every hosting plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee, so trying us out costs you an afternoon at worst.
Dedicated costs more than a VPS, and it should — you are renting the whole machine. What it does not do is drift: the monthly figure is fixed, and the specification you ordered is the specification that stays in the rack.
The hardware we hand you
Servers sit in tier-3 data centres with conditioned power, redundant network paths and edge DDoS filtering. Our engineers handle the hardware, the replacements and the hands-on work; the operating system is yours to run.
Patching is our job. Kernel updates, panel releases and PHP versions are rolled across the fleet by our engineers, so staying current never depends on you remembering.
- Bare-metal Xeon hardware, single tenant
- Out-of-band access and remote hands
- 99.9% uptime written into the SLA
- Daily backups with self-service restores
Worth Knowing
More of what comes with it
Performance you can predict
No hypervisor, no neighbours, no borrowed cycles. The benchmark you run on day one is the one you keep.
A panel that makes sense
The controls are where you would expect them, which is most of what a good panel has to do.
Move up without moving out
Outgrowing a tier is a click in the panel, not a migration and a weekend.
Nothing holding you here
No proprietary lock-in and no exit fee — we would rather keep you by being worth keeping.
Fast without tuning
Speed is the default here: NVMe arrays and server-side caching mean the server loads fast on day one.
SSL at no charge
Each domain gets HTTPS fitted for it — issued free, renewed free, for as long as you stay.

- 1

- 2

Move the workload across — our team helps with the migration at no charge.

Still Asking
A few more we hear often
How long does a dedicated server take to arrive?
Stock builds are usually handed over the same working day. A custom disk or memory configuration takes longer, and you get the date before you order rather than after. Either way, migration help from our engineers is part of the deal and costs nothing.
Is there a wait after I order?
The account is ready a few minutes after payment. Moving from another provider? Send us the login and our engineers do the transfer free, normally within a day.
Is there a charge for certificates?
Free, fitted and self-renewing. The only reasons to buy a certificate here are a wildcard or a validated seal for procurement.
What if dedicated server hosting is not the right fit?
There is a 30-day money-back guarantee on the plan. Ask inside the month and you get your money back: no exit interview, and nobody transferring you to a team whose job is talking you out of it.
