Dedicated Servers
The whole box.
No sharing.
Physical CPU cores you don't share. ECC RAM, NVMe Gen4 storage, root access. For high-traffic apps, big databases, or anything that's outgrown a VPS.

Who picks bare metal
When you need the whole machine.
Six common reasons teams move from VPS to dedicated. If you're here, you probably already know why.
Big database
PostgreSQL with serious replication, ClickHouse for analytics, anything that needs the disk to itself.
Examples
PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, ScyllaDB, MariaDB
Regulated workloads
Single-tenant hardware for PCI / HIPAA-equivalent compliance. No noisy neighbours.
Examples
Payment processing, health data, GDPR-strict apps
Hypervisor host
Run your own Proxmox / ESXi / KVM cluster on hardware you actually control.
Examples
Proxmox, ESXi, KVM, plain libvirt
Self-hosted SaaS
Replace a $4k/month managed-SaaS bill with hardware you own at $649. Real customer migration story.
Examples
Anything you used to host on Cloudways / managed SaaS
Heavy compute
CPU-bound rendering, batch processing, ML inference. No burst-credit gotchas.
Examples
Render farms, batch pipelines, ML inference servers
Not sure dedicated is right?
Physical isolation
The whole box. No tenants, no noisy neighbours.
Real dedicated CPU cores you don't share. ECC RAM in every tier. NVMe Gen4 storage you don't share. The box arrives in your account with the cores reserved.
- Real dedicated physical CPU cores
- ECC RAM standard, not an upsell
- NVMe Gen4 storage on every tier
- Single-tenant: no hypervisor overhead, no neighbour spikes

KPanel + full root
Panel for the common stuff. Root for everything else.
KPanel handles app installs, automatic SSL, backups, firewall, monitoring. Root SSH access for anything KPanel doesn't do. Install a hypervisor if you want; the box is yours.
- One-click app installers from KPanel
- Full root SSH, sudo, systemd
- IPMI access for bare-metal recovery
- API for provisioning, snapshots, reinstalls

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a Dedicated Server and Cloud VPS?+
Cloud VPS shares the underlying hardware between multiple customers (with strict isolation between VMs). A Dedicated Server is the whole physical box: you get every core, every gigabyte of RAM, every megabyte of disk to yourself. No hypervisor overhead, no neighbour spikes. Worth it once you need the consistency.
How long does provisioning take?+
Bedrock, Granite, and Titan provision in minutes from a pool we keep on hot standby. Fortress (custom build) provisions within 48 hours; you pick CPU / RAM / disk / NIC, we rack it and email you the credentials.
Can I install a hypervisor?+
Yes. Run Proxmox, ESXi, KVM, libvirt, or anything you want. The box is yours; install what you need.
Do I get IPMI / out-of-band access?+
Yes. IPMI is available on every Dedicated Server for recovery, BIOS access, and remote console. Useful when you break grub at 2am.
What about backups?+
KPanel handles application-level backups (daily, 30 day retention). For block-level, we offer a paid backup tier ($15/mo) that snapshots the whole disk weekly + daily incrementals.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. 30-day money-back on Bedrock/Granite/Titan. After that, cancel per the current billing cycle, no fees. Fortress builds are tied to the custom hardware investment; contact us for cancellation terms.
