3 plans to choose from.
Dedicated Entry, billed every mo
99.9% uptime guarantee · free migration · support 24/7
A whole machine of your own, not shared with anyone.
More cores and more memory, on hardware nobody else touches.
The largest build we rack as standard.
A whole physical machine, shared with nobody. You choose the processor, the memory, the disks and the operating system, and every cycle of it is yours.
On a dedicated server there is no hypervisor and no neighbours. The processor, the memory, the disks and the network port belong to one customer, which matters for three things in particular: sustained CPU work, disk-bound databases, and any compliance requirement that will not accept shared tenancy.
A large VPS is cheaper, provisioned in hours rather than days, and resizable. Buy dedicated hardware when you need sustained full-speed CPU rather than an average, when disk latency has become the bottleneck, when a licence is priced per physical core, or when an auditor has said the words single tenant. Otherwise a VPS is very likely the better purchase.
Dedicated servers are built to order rather than provisioned automatically. Tell us the workload and we will specify the machine, confirm the price and the lead time, and build it. If you already know exactly what you want, send the specification and we will quote it directly.
Ours start at £69.29/mo and the figure depends on the processor, the memory and the storage you specify. Because the machines are built to order, we quote against your actual workload rather than asking you to pick the nearest pre-set bundle.
Days rather than hours, because the machine is physically built and configured for you. We confirm the lead time when we quote, and it is usually two to five working days.
By default you administer the operating system and we look after the hardware, the network and the power. Add a managed plan and the patching, monitoring and backups become ours.
Yes. Processor, memory, disk type, capacity and RAID level are all specified before the machine is built. Tell us what you are running and we will recommend a configuration if you would rather not choose.
Hardware replacement is covered and we keep spares on site, so a failed disk or memory module is swapped rather than ordered. This is also why we recommend RAID on anything that holds data you care about.
