Dedicated Servers with Full Hardware Control

A physical server that is yours alone — every core, every gigabyte of RAM, every drive. Configure it in minutes, pay by the hour or month, cancel any time.

Is bare metal right for you?

When a cloud server isn’t enough

A VPS shares one big machine with other customers. A dedicated server is the whole machine. Three signs it’s time to move:

Resources that are only yours

Every CPU core, gigabyte of RAM and drive is reserved for you. Performance is the same at 3 pm and 3 am — no noisy neighbours.

Your own hypervisor

Install Proxmox VE, VMware ESXi or KVM and split the machine into your own virtual machines, networks and storage.

More capacity than any VPS

Up to 128 CPU cores and 512 GB RAM in one server — for workloads that have outgrown shared virtual machines.

Servers & prices

Choose your hardware and location

Every price includes a 1 Gbps port, 50 TB of traffic, IPMI access and two drives in RAID 1. No setup fee, no contract.

CPU brand
Disk type
CPU CPU is the processor. More cores = more jobs at once; higher GHz = each job runs faster. AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon are server-grade CPUs built to run flat out 24/7; Ryzen trades cores for very high speed per core.
RAM RAM is working memory. More RAM lets databases, caches and virtual machines keep more data instantly to hand.
Disk NVMe is the fastest SSD, wired straight to the CPU. SSD is fast; HDD is slower but cheapest per TB. RAID 1 mirrors two drives, so one can fail without losing data.
Bandwidth 1 Gbps is the port speed. 50 TB is the traffic included each month — plenty for most sites. Uncapped means no monthly limit at all (optional extra).
Price / hour
Price / month
Every configuration includes at least two drives in RAID 1 by default. If one drive fails, your data stays online on the other. Prefer RAID 0, RAID 10 or no RAID? Choose it in the configurator.

Included with every server

Cloud-style controls for real hardware

Manage network, OS, recovery and billing from your BareMet dashboard or API.

Network

A 1 Gbps port and 50 TB of monthly traffic come as standard. Go uncapped if you stream, serve downloads or host busy games.

DDoS protection

Network-level filtering stops floods before they reach your server. Included free where available — no setup needed.

Operating systems

Pick an OS or hypervisor at checkout and we install it for you. Or bring your own ISO.

Recovery

Broke something? Reinstall the OS in one click, or boot a rescue system to fix files without wiping the server.

OS reinstallUbuntu 24.04 · ~15 minCompleted
Rescue bootLive Linux · your disks mountedReady

KVM / IPMI console

See the server’s screen, mount an ISO and power-cycle it from your browser — even when the OS won’t boot.

Billing

Hourly billing with no minimum term. It starts when your server is live and stops the moment you cancel it.

Isolation & compliance

Physical isolation for strict requirements

Internal policies, customer contracts, licensing and regulators often require hardware that nobody else touches. That’s the default here.

One customer per server

All CPU cores, RAM and drives stay with one customer. Isolation is physical, not virtual.

You control the operating system

We look after power, hardware and network. Everything from the OS up is yours to configure and audit.

[Add certifications and link the audit documents.] Data stays in the country you choose.
