Bare metal, explained

A whole server. Nothing shared.

Bare metal means a physical machine dedicated entirely to you — no hypervisor, no neighbors, no oversold resources. Here's what that gets you, and the platforms we run it on.

The difference

Why bare metal beats virtualized hosting

Cloud VMs and shared hosting slice one machine across many customers. Bare metal gives you the whole thing.

Bare metal

our platform
  • Entire physical server, dedicated
  • Consistent peak performance
  • Full root + IPMI, any OS
  • Native NVMe & network I/O

Cloud VM

  • Shares a host via hypervisor
  • Performance varies with neighbors
  • Root inside the VM only
  • Virtualized, abstracted I/O

Shared hosting

  • Hundreds of accounts per box
  • Tightly capped resources
  • No root, limited control
  • Heavily oversold
What you get

The bare metal advantage

100% of the hardware

Every core, every gigabyte of RAM, and the full NVMe and network throughput is yours alone — nothing is shared or oversold.

No noisy neighbors

Without a hypervisor splitting the box between tenants, you get consistent, predictable performance under load.

Root + out-of-band IPMI

Full administrative control, custom OS installs, kernel modules, and remote power/console via IPMI on every server.

Raw, native I/O

Direct access to PCIe-4 NVMe and the CPU's memory channels — no virtualization tax on storage or network paths.

Built for heavy data

Local high-density storage and 8-channel server memory make bare metal ideal for databases, analytics, and media.

Single-tenant security

Physical isolation from other customers reduces your attack surface and simplifies compliance.

The platforms

Three CPU families, one network

We run current-generation AMD alongside proven Intel silicon — so you can match the architecture to the workload.

Zen 4 / Zen 5

AMD Ryzen

The highest clock speeds we offer (up to 5.7 GHz). Ideal where per-thread speed matters: web apps, game servers, and databases. DDR5 throughout.

Browse Ryzen
Rome / Milan

AMD EPYC

Up to 64 cores per socket and dual-socket builds reaching 128C/256T. Eight memory channels and 128 PCIe lanes for virtualization and dense parallel work.

Browse EPYC
Broadwell / Comet Lake

Intel Xeon

Proven enterprise silicon with ECC memory — from high-clock W-series to many-threaded dual E5 configs at exceptional value.

PassMark CPU Mark (multithread) scores via cpubenchmark.net (~May 2026 averages); other figures are public manufacturer specs. All values are per single socket — dual-socket EPYC builds roughly double the cores, threads, and total PassMark throughput shown.
