One bare-metal machine, all yours

It's self-managed with complete root access, and that's exactly what keeps a dedicated server this affordable while handing you full say over the software stack. You choose what gets installed, how it's set up, and when it gets updated. To soften that learning curve, every server arrives with the free Hestia control panel already installed, giving you a clean web interface for sites, email, DNS and databases right from first boot instead of a bare command prompt. Our side of the deal is everything beneath your operating system: the physical hardware, networking, power and connectivity, plus platform-level issues, all watched and supported 24/7. Day-to-day OS administration — securing apps, managing users, tuning services — stays on you, though our support team will still help with common questions and point you toward the right fix. Prefer not to manage the OS yourself at all? A panel like cPanel automates most of that work.

AlmaLinux 9 ships by default, and it's a strong pick for most workloads — a stable, free, enterprise-grade Linux that's binary-compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, so anything written for RHEL or CentOS runs without changes. Want something different? Other major Linux distributions, including Ubuntu LTS, Debian and Rocky Linux, are available on request, and full root access means you can configure the OS however your applications actually need. On the panel side, the free Hestia control panel comes pre-installed, though you're welcome to run the server panel-free if you'd rather handle services directly, or add cPanel under its own licence if that's the environment you and your clients already know. Just tell us your preferred OS and panel when ordering, and we'll hand the server over fully ready, so there's no reinstalling from scratch on your first day.

Dedicated servers typically get provisioned and handed over within 24 hours of your payment clearing, often quicker, rather than the instant activation you'd see with shared hosting — that's because actual physical hardware is being prepared specifically for you. What lands in your hands isn't a blank box either: it arrives fully installed with your chosen operating system and control panel, network-configured and ready for your first login, so you can start deploying right away instead of running installers. Got specific requirements — a particular OS, a certain partition layout, a specific panel? Flag it at the point of order and we'll build it that way from the outset. If anything about the initial build doesn't match what you asked for, our team sorts it out during onboarding. From there, hardware, network and platform support carry on around the clock for as long as you keep the server.
