Standard Dedicated Bare metal, yours alone

Dedicated server rental for any workload: every core, every byte of ECC memory and every disk belongs to one customer. No hypervisor in the way, no steal time, no neighbour deciding how your evening goes, and a console and power control from day one.

02Performance

One customer per machine

Nothing on the machine is shared or oversold: the cores, memory and disks in the table are the ones you get.

All cores yours

No hypervisor and no neighbours, so no steal time. Every core and thread in the table works for you.

Your own hypervisor

Install Proxmox or your own KVM stack and split the machine into as many VMs as it holds.

Custom kernels

Build your own kernel, change the boot setup and run what your stack needs: root is yours from the first login.

Full-disk encryption

Encrypt the drives if you like. They belong to you alone until the machine goes back.

03Platform

What you actually get

ECC memory

Every build runs ECC memory, which corrects single-bit errors instead of passing them on to your data. Cores and threads are listed per machine.

Local disks, as listed

SSD, NVMe or HDD: the table names the type and size of each machine's disks, with no shared storage layer in between.

Console and power control from day one

An out-of-band serial console and power control in the panel, at no extra cost.

Always-on DDoS protection

Volumetric attacks are filtered upstream on every build. Nothing to switch on, nothing to pay for.

Amsterdam, multi-homed

The servers stand in Amsterdam on a redundant blend of three carriers, with 1 Tbit/s of aggregate capacity across the network.

24/7 engineers

A hardware swap, a routing question or a machine that will not boot: write on Discord, Telegram or by email, at any hour.

Need a build that is not listed, with more RAM, a different disk layout, extra uplinks or your own IP space? Ask for a custom quote. Every machine in stock in Amsterdam is listed with its price on each of the four lines.

06DDoS protection

DDoS-protected dedicated servers

Every Standard Dedicated build in Amsterdam sits behind always-on, automatic DDoS mitigation, included in the price.

  • On by default, no add-on

    Mitigation runs automatically in front of the server. There is nothing to book and no switch to find, and it is part of the price of every build.

  • What stays yours

    We look after hardware, network and DDoS mitigation; the system above the bare metal is yours. The panel has no firewall editor, so keep ufw, nftables or Windows Firewall set up on the server, and rate limits in your application.

  • What we do not promise

    We sell no uptime percentage and no credits for downtime (Terms of Service, §10). The Acceptable Use Policy applies to a protected server as to any other.

Our bare-metal line covers Standard Dedicated (the general-purpose builds), Pentesting Dedicated (isolated security labs), DMCA Ignored Dedicated (US DMCA notices not forwarded, legal 18+ content allowed) and Streaming Dedicated (unmetered ports), all single-tenant machines with ECC memory. Each page lists the exact CPU, memory, disks and port speed of every build in stock.

Dedicated server rental in Amsterdam: a whole bare-metal machine (every core, the ECC memory and every disk yours alone) with a serial console and power control in the panel, full root and always-on DDoS protection. The servers are unmanaged: you run the operating system and everything on it, we look after the hardware and the network. That keeps an unmanaged dedicated server cheaper than a managed one; if you want us to take over the OS and monitoring, ask sales for a managed add-on.

Yes. It is a single-tenant box with no hypervisor of ours in the way, so Proxmox, your own KVM stack, a custom kernel or full-disk encryption are all yours to install. We look after hardware, network and DDoS mitigation; everything above the bare metal is your stack.

Yes. Windows Server 2022 or 2019 can be picked in the order form like any Linux image, and our team installs it when it sets up the machine; you then log in as Administrator over Remote Desktop. No licence is included in the price: Windows is installed on Microsoft's time-limited evaluation licence, and you can activate your own key whenever you like. The edition has to match, so check with support before you buy one. Windows VPS explains how the evaluation licence works.

Power-cycle the machine and open its serial console: watch it boot, and log in when sshd is gone. That out-of-band access is included from day one, not an upsell.

Yes, whether that is more memory, a different disk layout, extra uplinks or your own IP space. Ask before you pay: we confirm the exact configuration and a handover date first. Custom builds are ready in 3 to 14 days, while anything in the table is handed over within hours.

Configurations we hold in stock are handed over within a few hours. Custom builds (specific disk layouts, extra RAM, additional uplinks) are ready in 3 to 14 days, and we confirm a date before you pay.

Every dedicated server has a 10 Gbit/s port, and 1 Gbit/s of usage is included with every one. We do not meter per GB and we do not send overage invoices; we only get in touch if a machine stays above that around the clock. If that is your plan, take the Streaming line: its 10 Gbit/s ports are genuinely unmetered.

Yes. Checkout accepts Bitcoin, as well as Monero, USDT, Ethereum, Litecoin and more, through Cryptomus at the same price as paying by card or PayPal. A dedicated server is not provisioned automatically the way a VPS is: once the crypto payment confirms, our team sets up the machine, and one already in stock is handed over within a few hours.
