Dedicated servers

Single-tenant infrastructure for serious workloads.

Four bare-metal tiers from $79/mo — unmanaged or fully managed, with flat renewal pricing and $0 setup on annual terms. Configure your server below; an engineer validates every build before it goes live.

Workload fit

Use dedicated hardware when VPS is no longer enough.

Mission-critical websites

Keep high-value websites on isolated hardware with clearer performance headroom.

Databases and ERP

Run heavier data workloads where predictable disk, memory, and CPU behavior matters.

Compliance-sensitive apps

Reduce cross-tenant exposure and build stronger security controls.

Agency or SaaS platforms

Consolidate multiple production workloads with architecture-led capacity planning.

Server finder

Start from the workload profile.

Dedicated hosting should feel like a specification exercise: identify CPU pressure, memory size, storage behavior, network needs, and operational responsibility — then map them onto a tier in the configurator below.

CPU intensive

For high-traffic web apps, queues, analytics, rendering, and sustained compute.

Memory heavy

For databases, ERP workloads, caching layers, and large application processes.

Storage focused

For media libraries, backups, file services, and heavy read/write workloads.

Managed critical

For systems that need hardening, monitoring, backups, patching, and response cover.

Configure your server

Build your dedicated server.

Pick a region, choose the hardware, set the management level and billing term, then add options. Your exact configuration travels with your reservation — an engineer confirms everything before billing starts.

Honest comparisons

How our pricing compares.

Flat pricing measured against published competitor list prices, captured 2026-06-12 from public pricing pages.

Dedicated Core — $79/mo

OVHcloud RISE-S lists at $77/mo for 8 cores plus a $77 setup fee, and Namecheap's comparable Xeon server renews at $83.99/mo. Core ships 14 modern cores with $0 setup on an annual term.

Dedicated Power — $99/mo

IONOS's comparable 8-core NVMe server lists at $117–138/mo plus a $138 setup fee on a two-year term, and OVHcloud ADVANCE-1 runs $115–134/mo. Power is current-generation DDR5 ECC with no multi-year lock-in.

Dedicated Pro Metal — $199/mo

ReliableSite lists a Ryzen 9 7900 at $209/mo and a 7950X at $269/mo. Pro Metal ships the faster 7950X3D for less — and Managed at $299/mo sits under Liquid Web's $312.80 promoted dedicated bundle.

Dedicated Enterprise Metal — $389/mo

Liquid Web's 16-core dedicated server lists at $577.15/mo and HostGator's enterprise tier renews at $401.77/mo. Enterprise Metal ships 48 Zen 4 cores and 256 GB DDR5 ECC below both.

Competitor figures are list prices from public pricing pages on the capture date and may have changed since. We compare against renewal prices, not intro teasers — our price doesn't change either way.

Architecture process

We plan around reliability before provisioning.

Dedicated server projects need more than a checkout button. We review workload behavior, traffic, storage, security, backup, DNS, monitoring, and maintenance needs first.

  1. 01Reserve

    Configure your server above and send the reservation — no payment taken yet.

  2. 02Review

    An engineer validates the configuration against your workload, risk, and uptime needs.

  3. 03Provision

    Build, harden, monitor, and validate the server before production traffic.

  4. 04Operate

    Review performance, patching, incidents, and upgrade timing.

Managed controls

Optional support layers for production environments.

Security hardening

Firewall, access control, patch cadence, and baseline server hygiene.

Monitoring

Availability, disk, CPU, memory, SSL, and service health visibility.

Backup planning

Define snapshot and recovery expectations before failure happens.

Migration support

Phased cutovers with validation, DNS, SSL, and rollback planning.

Infrastructure planning

Do not guess dedicated server capacity.

Tell us the workload, traffic, stack, and risk profile. We will help choose the right server and management model.

FAQ

Dedicated server questions.

When do I need a dedicated server instead of a VPS?

Choose dedicated hardware when you need single-tenant isolation, predictable performance under sustained load, or custom infrastructure controls — typically production databases, ERP, high-traffic platforms, and compliance-sensitive workloads. A VPS remains the better fit for most smaller workloads.

What does the Managed option include?

Managed covers operating system patching and kernel updates, proactive monitoring with human escalation, weekly off-server backups, security hardening, malware scanning, unlimited site migrations, and a DirectAdmin control panel license at no extra cost — backed by 24/7 support.

Is there a setup fee?

Setup is $0 on a 12-month term. On monthly terms there is a one-time setup fee: $79 on Dedicated Core and Dedicated Power, or $99 on Dedicated Pro Metal and Dedicated Enterprise Metal.

Will my renewal price increase?

No. The price you sign up at is the price you renew at. We do not use introductory teaser pricing that jumps at renewal.

Where are dedicated servers provisioned?

Dedicated metal currently provisions in our European (Germany) datacenter. North America and Africa requests are fulfilled on a per-order basis — reserve your configuration and we will confirm available options with you.

How does ordering work?

Configure your server on this page and reserve it. An engineer reviews the configuration, confirms hardware availability and timelines with you, and provisions the server before billing starts. You can pay in USD, GHS, or CAD — including Mobile Money.
