Dedicated servers

Buy the machine one slice at a time

Start at one vCPU and two gigabytes for $7.00 a month, then add slices as the workload grows. Same server, same IP, no migration and no tier to outgrow.

From $7.00 / month Full root access Dedicated IP Ready in ~30 minutes
How it is sold

One server, sized by you

There are no tiers here. A slice is 1 vCPU, 2 GB of RAM, 40 GB of SSD and 2 TB of transfer for $7.00 a month, and you take as many as the job needs.

1 slice

A first server, a staging box, or something small that needs its own root.

The whole range

From one slice to 32

A sample of the ladder. Every step in between is available too - the price is simply the slice count times $7.00.

At checkout

The rest is your call

Everything below is picked while you order, and most of it can be changed afterwards without starting again.

Choice Options
Data centre New Jersey, Los Angeles or Dallas, Texas. Pick the one nearest your traffic.
Operating system AlmaLinux, Ubuntu, Debian, Cloud-Init, or an empty disk if you would rather build it yourself.
Control panel None at no cost, DirectAdmin at $11.20 a month, or cPanel at $30.80 a month. Add it now or later.
Resources One to 32 slices, changed after you order without rebuilding the server.
Root access Full root from the start. Install what you like, including your own stack.
IP address A dedicated IP with every server, with more available on request.
What comes with it

Total control, and somebody to call

Running your own server should not mean being on your own with it.

01

Grow without moving

Adding a slice changes the resources on the machine you already have. No new server, no new IP, no migration window and no DNS to re-point.

02

Ready in about 30 minutes

Provisioning runs after payment and usually finishes within half an hour. Some disk operations continue in the background afterwards.

03

Server Administration Panel

Rebuild, restart, shut down, web-based VNC, and live monitoring of CPU, memory, disk and network - without opening a ticket for any of it.

04

Your stack, your panel

Pick the distribution and the panel, or take an empty disk. Add your own billing software and the machine becomes a hosting business rather than a server.

05

Redundant network

Top-tier data centres with redundant ISP links and DDoS protection in front of the uplink, backed by 99.9% uptime.

06

24/7 support that goes deeper

Hardware, network, boot problems, the operating system and login issues at any hour. Basic cPanel and firewall setup is covered too.

Questions

Before you order a server

If your workload has a requirement not covered here - a specific data centre, nested virtualization, a physical machine - ask before you order rather than after.

What is a slice?

One unit of server resources: 1 vCPU, 2 GB of RAM, 40 GB of SSD and 2 TB of transfer, for $7.00 a month. Everything scales from there - four slices is four times the memory, disk and transfer, at four times the price. You can go up to 32.

Is this a physical machine or a virtual one?

It is KVM virtualization with resources allocated to you - full root, your own IP, and nothing shared with a neighbour. It is not bare metal. If your workload specifically needs a physical machine, talk to us before ordering rather than after.

Can I run virtualization on it?

Probably not. Because the server is itself virtualized, nested virtualization is usually blocked at host level. Ask first if you are planning to run VMs on it.

Can I add slices later?

Yes, and that is the point of the model. Resources change on the server you already have - no rebuild, no new IP and no migration.

Which control panels can I have?

DirectAdmin at $11.20 a month or cPanel at $30.80 a month, added during checkout or afterwards. None is also a perfectly good answer if you are comfortable on the command line.

Can I run billing software on it?

Yes - it is your server, so you install whatever you like on it. You license the billing software yourself; we do not resell licences for any of them.

Where are the servers?

New Jersey, Los Angeles and Dallas, Texas. Choose the location closest to where your visitors are.

How long until it is ready?

Usually about 30 minutes after payment. Disk operations can continue in the background once the server is handed over.

What does support cover?

Hardware, network, booting, the operating system and login issues, 24/7. Basic cPanel and firewall setup is included; application-level work is not.

Can I use it for email marketing?

For legitimate mail to people who asked for it, yes - alongside websites, databases, custom applications, eCommerce, DNS and file storage. Mass unsolicited campaigns are not acceptable and will attract penalties.

Do you provide backups?

Keep remote backups regardless of who hosts the machine. We can add Acronis Cyber Backup or CodeGuard where they apply.

Start at one slice and grow from there

$7.00 gets you root on your own server. Add slices when the traffic asks for them, not before.
