Dedicated servers
Dedicated or bare-metal servers are physical servers with ready-made or custom configurations, exclusively allocated to a single customer. These servers are located in a data center and are provided as a service.
Turning to a hosting provider instead of managing your own infrastructure offers a number of significant advantages:
-
Expense flexibility: benefit from shifting large, upfront investments to regular, manageable operating costs
-
Scalability and adaptability: easily scale resources on-demand to meet the growing needs of your business by adding or removing components as necessary
-
Reliability and security: gain advantages from continuous operation through data center redundancy and protect your data with enhanced security measures
-
24/7 support and expertise: access round-the-clock support and specialized expertise
-
Cost reduction: minimize operational costs by leveraging data center resources, eliminating the need for expensive hardware investments and ongoing maintenance
We provide server models supporting various configurations, such as the number of available disk slots, allowable memory capacity, RAID support, etc. This accommodates a wide range of needs, from small business applications to large corporate systems.

About dedicated servers
Dedicated or bare-metal servers are 'physical' servers. Each server offered for rent is a distinct physical piece of hardware that is a functional server on its own. They are not virtual servers running in multiple on shared hardware. Dedicated servers have a single 'tenant'. They are not shared between customers.
