Bare Metal Hardware

Why a dedicated server, not a VPS

VPS is right for most workloads. Dedicated wins where bare metal matters: hardware-level isolation, your own hypervisor, no shared CPU, no noisy neighbours. Single-tenant servers in UK datacentres, modern silicon, full root from minute one.

The entire server, yours

No virtualisation layer, no contention, no shared cores. Every cycle of CPU, every byte of RAM, every IOPS of the NVMe array belongs to you. No surprise slowdowns when other tenants get busy.

IPMI / KVM-over-IP included

Hardware-level access from day one. Power cycle, watch BIOS boot, mount remote ISOs, recover broken kernels. The control you need when something genuinely goes wrong at the OS level.

Modern silicon, not 2017 stock

AMD Ryzen 9 9950X / 9900X / 9700X (Zen 5, 5.6–5.9 GHz boost) and Intel Xeon Silver 4214R (24C/48T). Real performance, not relabelled e-waste from someone else’s decommission.

NVMe SSD storage

2x NVMe drives per server, 512 GB or 960 GB depending on tier. RAID configurations available. Tens of thousands of IOPS, sub-millisecond latency, the way storage should perform in 2026.

1 Gbps unmetered

Full gigabit port, no bandwidth caps, no overage surprises. Dual network paths in our UK datacentres. Need 10 Gbps for a high-throughput workload? Ask, we can do it.

DDoS protection at the edge

Always-on volumetric DDoS mitigation. Inbound attack traffic is scrubbed at the network edge before reaching your server. Your application stays online while neighbours get hit.

Run any OS

We image Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky, CentOS Stream, SUSE, Windows Server 2019/2022/2025. Or boot a custom ISO via IPMI and install Proxmox, ESXi, FreeBSD, OPNsense, NixOS, TrueNAS — anything that boots.

24-hour deployment

Order in the morning, root access by the end of the next business day. No 7-day provisioning queues. We carry stock so we can build your server quickly when you need it.

UK-based engineer support

Tickets answered by people who know what IPMI means, can talk you through a RAID rebuild and don’t need a script. Founder-led, no offshore call centre, no escalation theatre.

Hardware Choices

Modern silicon, picked for real workloads

We don’t buy job-lot legacy hardware. Every server in our fleet is selected for a specific workload pattern. Our four dedicated server tiers cover almost everything you would buy bare metal for.

AMD Ryzen 7 / 9 (Zen 5)

For workloads that are bottlenecked on a single thread: production databases, MetaTrader hosts, single-app SaaS, busy game servers, real-time data processing. 5.5–5.9 GHz boost clock, DDR5 throughput, the same silicon family that powers our VPS platform.

Intel Xeon Silver 4214R

24 cores, 48 threads, 192 GB DDR4. The workhorse for VM hosts — Proxmox, ESXi, XCP-ng, container orchestration. When you need many cores for many tenants, single-thread clock matters less than per-core efficiency at scale.

AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (flagship)

16 cores, 32 threads at 5.9 GHz boost with 128 GB DDR5. This is the same chip that powers our VPS platform — but yours alone, dedicated to your workload, no neighbours competing for cycles or cache.

Add-ons

Customise your dedicated server

Most add-ons can be configured at order time or added later via support ticket. Talk to us if you need something we don’t list.

Managed Services

£49/mo per server — 24/7 monitoring, OS patching, backup verification, security hardening, engineer-led incident response.

Additional RAM

From £15/mo per 32 GB module. Upgrade during scheduled maintenance with minimal downtime.

Additional NVMe Drives

From £25/mo per 1 TB NVMe. Add for RAID 10, expanded storage or dedicated log volumes.

Additional IPv4 Addresses

£2/mo each — useful for hypervisor hosts running multiple guest VMs that each need a public IP.

10 Gbps Network

From £40/mo — upgrade your port from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps unmetered for throughput-heavy workloads.

Off-site Backup

£15/mo for 500 GB, £25/mo for 1 TB to a second UK datacentre. Restore via secure key access.

Workload Profiles

When does dedicated make sense?

Most workloads run fine on a VPS. Here’s when bare metal earns its premium.

Run your own hypervisor

Proxmox VE, VMware ESXi, XCP-ng, KVM with your own management. Bare metal is non-negotiable for nested virtualisation, IOMMU passthrough or running your own VM-tenant business.

Heavy production databases

PostgreSQL, MySQL or MariaDB instances with sustained heavy I/O. NVMe direct-attached storage, full memory bandwidth, no contention from neighbours sharing your spindles or your CPU caches.

High-traffic SaaS

Production apps serving thousands of concurrent users. When your bottleneck is consistent performance during peak load — not occasional bursts — dedicated gives you predictability VPS can’t match.

Compliance / data residency

Single-tenant hardware in UK datacentres. Useful when audit policies, ICO requirements or client contracts demand that your data sits on physically isolated hardware in the UK.

Game server infrastructure

Minecraft, Rust, ARK, CS2, GTA RP and similar. Tick-rate sensitive game servers want raw single-thread clock, low jitter and no contention. Our Ryzen tiers excel here.

Build pipelines / CI runners

Self-hosted GitHub Actions, GitLab Runners, Jenkins masters. Build times that punish shared CPU. Dedicated cores mean predictable build minutes and faster iteration for your dev team.

Dedicated Servers Explained

What is a dedicated server?

A dedicated server is a physical machine in a datacentre that exists solely to run your workload. No virtualisation layer, no other tenants on the hardware, no shared resources. The CPU, RAM, NVMe drives and network interface belong to you.

This is the opposite of a VPS, where many virtual machines share one physical server. VPS is the right answer for most workloads — cheaper, faster to deploy, less to manage. Dedicated wins where the trade-offs of virtualisation start to hurt: heavy databases competing for I/O, hypervisor-on-hypervisor performance loss, audit requirements demanding hardware isolation, or simply needing every cycle of CPU your server can produce.

You get full root access, hardware-level management via IPMI, the ability to install any operating system that boots, and complete control over your environment. Think of it as your own server, sitting in our datacentre instead of yours.

When to choose dedicated

VPS or dedicated — how to decide

If you have a single application that fits in 32 GB of RAM and runs comfortably on shared cores, you almost certainly want a VPS. They cost a fraction of dedicated and deploy in minutes. Most production websites, SaaS apps and dev environments live happily on VPS.

Choose dedicated when you are running your own hypervisor (Proxmox, ESXi), need consistent performance under sustained heavy load, have compliance or audit requirements for single-tenant hardware, need IPMI for OS-level recovery, or are bottlenecked specifically by hardware contention with other tenants.

Stay on VPS when your workload is bursty rather than constant, you value rapid deploy/redeploy, you don’t need bare-metal access for hypervisors or specialised software, or your monthly bill is the deciding factor. Our VPS platform runs on the same Ryzen 9 9950X silicon as our flagship dedicated server — it’s just shared.

Need help choosing between dedicated and VPS?

Most workloads run fine on a VPS — they cost less and deploy in minutes. Dedicated wins for hardware-level isolation, your own hypervisor, single-tenant compliance and consistent performance under heavy sustained load. See our full VPS lineup or talk to us about what fits.

Common questions

UK dedicated servers — FAQ

The questions we get asked most often. Anything else, drop us a line.

Our dedicated servers start at £79.99/month for the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X (8C/16T, 64 GB DDR5, 2x 512 GB NVMe). The Ryzen 9 9900X (12C/24T) is £122/mo. Intel Xeon Silver 4214R (24C/48T, 192 GB DDR4) is £162.99/mo. The flagship Ryzen 9 9950X (16C/32T, 128 GB DDR5) is £169.99/mo. All servers include IPMI/KVM-over-IP, full root, custom OS install, network backup storage and DDoS protection.

Standard deployment takes 24 hours from order confirmation. This covers hardware provisioning, network configuration, OS install and IPMI access setup. Custom configurations may take up to 48 hours. We send deployment updates by email and ticket so you always know where your server is in the queue.

A VPS is a virtual machine sharing physical hardware with other customers via KVM. A dedicated server is the entire physical machine, exclusively yours. With dedicated you get 100% of the CPU cycles, all the RAM, the entire NVMe array, and no neighbours competing for I/O. You also gain IPMI/KVM-over-IP for hardware-level access. Choose dedicated when you need consistent performance, hardware-level isolation, run your own hypervisor, or have compliance/data-residency requirements that benefit from single-tenant hardware.

Yes. Every dedicated server includes dedicated IPMI access for hardware-level control. Power cycle, watch BIOS boot, mount remote ISOs, view the console at any point. Critical for OS recovery, kernel debugging and running unsupported operating systems. IPMI access is provided via secure VPN credentials on activation.

Any OS that boots on the hardware. We provide automated installation for Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, CentOS Stream, Fedora, SUSE and Windows Server 2019/2022/2025. For anything else (Proxmox, ESXi, FreeBSD, OPNsense, NixOS, TrueNAS, custom ISOs) install via IPMI in 15-30 minutes. Custom ISO uploads up to 5 GB are supported.

All dedicated servers include a 1 Gbps port with unmetered bandwidth, dual network paths, and DDoS protection. Inbound malicious traffic is filtered at the network edge before reaching your server. IPv4 + /64 IPv6 included. Additional IPv4 addresses available on request for hypervisor workloads. Custom BGP / bring-your-own-IP arrangements available for enterprise customers.

Hardware failures are rare but they happen. We carry on-site spare parts (RAM, NVMe drives, PSUs, network cards) for same-day replacement during UK business hours, and within 4 hours for critical components on managed plans. Full hardware replacement typically completes within 4-8 hours. Your data on RAID arrays survives single-drive failures with no downtime. Network backup storage is included for disaster recovery.

By default, dedicated servers are unmanaged — we provide the hardware, network, IPMI access and OS install. You handle OS patching, security hardening, application management and software stack. We offer a Managed tier at £49/month per server for 24/7 monitoring, OS patching, backup verification, security hardening and engineer-led incident response. Most customers run unmanaged; managed is popular for production SaaS and clients without an in-house ops team.

Yes — this is one of the main reasons people choose dedicated. Run Proxmox VE, VMware ESXi, XCP-ng, KVM, Hyper-V or any virtualisation platform with full hardware access. The 24C/48T Xeon Silver 4214R with 192 GB DDR4 is our most popular hypervisor host. We support nested virtualisation and IOMMU/VT-d passthrough for PCIe device assignment.

RAM and storage upgrades on the same chassis are possible during scheduled maintenance windows (typically 1-2 hours of downtime). Moving to a different chassis is also straightforward — we provision the new server, give you time to migrate, then decommission the old one. No lock-ins, no migration fees. Talk to our team before ordering if you want a clear upgrade path mapped out.
