DDoS Protected Dedicated Servers

Unlike other traditional hosting platforms which are shared across an array of users, dedicated servers provide greater access to the server hardware, like RAM, CPU, disk, as well as network resources, like bandwidth. Additionally, dedicated servers give the user full-autonomy over the underlying system and software installed, broadening the number of use-cases whereby dedicated hosting is the preferable, or even required, solution. For projects requiring direct hardware access, special software configurations, or top-level administrative access, dedicated servers are the recommended solution.

We provision dedicated servers quickly. Our average provisioning time is just 2-6 hours for custom server builds. Once a server is fully-provisioned, your server details and root (Linux) or admin (Windows) credentials will be provided through our secure Client Portal.

You can always customize your dedicated server plan. Many customizations can be modified directly on our standard order form to meet specific requirements. Because every infrastructure need is unique, we are happy to assist and provide free consultation and custom server quotations for your project.

We provide automated installation of the most popular Linux server operating systems. Choose from CentOS, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux and more. Additionally, the latest Windows Server OS are available with license. For latest builds and full details, read our post, "Choosing a Dedicated Server Operating System".

All of our servers are provided as unmanaged dedicated servers. If a managed dedicated server would better meet your requirements, we do offer full management for your server.

IP subnets greater than /28 can be provided, but will require IP justification and may cause delayed delivery of your server.
