Bare metal power, entirely yours.

The terms are commonly used for the same type of service: a physical server assigned to one customer without a customer-facing virtualization layer dividing it into VPS instances. Some providers use bare metal to emphasize direct hardware access or rapid provisioning.

Consider dedicated hardware when sustained CPU, memory, storage, I/O, IP or licensing requirements make a large VPS inefficient, when noisy-neighbor and virtualization concerns matter, or when you need hardware-level options such as custom RAID and remote management.

The physical processor, installed memory and local drives in a dedicated-server product are assigned to that server. Network infrastructure and upstream services remain shared provider infrastructure unless a product explicitly includes dedicated connectivity.

Yes for compatible self-managed deployments. Linux normally uses root or sudo administration, while Windows Server uses administrator access. Managed products may apply controls required to deliver the agreed service.

These are remote management technologies that can provide power control, console access and installation or recovery functions even when the operating system is unavailable. The exact technology and functions depend on the selected hardware.

Supported Linux distributions can be deployed on compatible servers. Windows Server availability requires compatible hardware and a paid licence. Confirm the version, licence edition and monthly cost before ordering.

Yes when the panel supports the chosen operating system and hardware. Control-panel licences are normally separate charges and may depend on account count, server type and vendor pricing.

Compatible dedicated servers can run virtualization platforms such as Proxmox VE or Virtualizor. CPU virtualization support, RAM, storage layout, bridge networking, IP allocation, backup design and licence requirements should be reviewed before deployment.

Yes when the hardware, network and virtualization platform support the plan. You are responsible for capacity allocation, guest security, IP addressing, backups and any software licences unless those tasks are included in a managed scope.

ECC memory can detect and correct certain memory errors. It is commonly preferred for databases, virtualization and long-running business workloads. Not every dedicated-server profile uses ECC, so check the exact configuration.

Choose NVMe for low-latency databases and virtual machines, SSD for balanced performance and HDD for large capacity at a lower cost. Many workloads benefit from combining fast system disks with separate capacity storage.

RAID 1 mirrors two drives, RAID 10 combines striping and mirroring, and RAID 5 or RAID 6 trade capacity and write behavior for parity protection. The correct layout depends on drive count, workload, controller, failure tolerance and rebuild risk.

No. RAID can help with certain drive failures but does not protect against deletion, corruption, malware, account compromise, application errors or loss of the whole server. Maintain independent backups on separate infrastructure.

Backup storage and management must be confirmed for the selected product. A dedicated server should not be treated as backed up unless an independent backup destination, schedule, retention and restore process are explicitly configured.

A baseline network mitigation service may be available, but capacity, protocols, thresholds, always-on behavior and protected IPs depend on location and product. Confirm the exact DDoS scope before publishing or ordering.

Each plan has a proposed initial allocation, while extra IPv4 addresses depend on justification, regional policy, stock and additional fees. IPv6 availability also depends on network location.

Location choice depends on current hardware stock and the selected server family. Choose a location close to the main audience or connected systems, while also considering legal, payment, backup and disaster-recovery requirements.

Provisioning can range from same-day stock deployment to several business days for custom hardware, identity review, additional drives, RAID, licences or specialized network configuration. Do not promise instant delivery unless inventory automation supports it.

Unmanaged service normally covers the physical server, network and supported initial deployment. Managed service adds specific operating-system or service tasks. Always review the exact monitoring, patching, backup, response and application-support boundaries.

Not automatically. Server management and application development are separate scopes. A managed server can cover supported infrastructure tasks while website code, plugins, custom applications and business logic remain the customer’s responsibility unless separately contracted.

Migration assistance can be scoped after reviewing the source environment, operating system, panels, applications, databases, email, IPs, DNS, licences, data volume and acceptable downtime. Complex or cross-platform migrations may require paid engineering work.

RAM, drives, network and IP options may be upgradeable when the chassis, motherboard, location and stock allow it. CPU changes often require different hardware. Larger changes may involve migration to another server.

You can install compatible legal software within the acceptable-use policy on a self-managed server. You remain responsible for licences, security, updates, configuration and support unless the software is part of a managed agreement.

It can be appropriate for stores with sustained high traffic, large databases, heavy search, custom services or compliance-driven isolation. Smaller stores are often better served by managed WooCommerce, ecommerce, VPS or cloud hosting.

Yes. Dedicated hardware allows database-specific CPU, memory, NVMe and RAID design. Production database systems should also include monitoring, replication where needed, independent backups and tested recovery procedures.

Supported game and media workloads can run on dedicated hardware when network, CPU, memory, storage, licensing and acceptable-use requirements are met. Confirm bandwidth and DDoS needs before ordering.

Measure the current workload and growth target, then compare processor behavior, RAM use, storage capacity and latency, network transfer, software licences, backup requirements and administrator skills. Choose for sustained demand rather than the largest headline specification.

Dedicated hardware, licences, setup work and custom services may have different refund rules from shared hosting. The exact cancellation, refund and renewal terms must be stated in the WHMCS product and applicable service agreement.

The provider diagnoses and replaces failed supported hardware according to the service terms and available stock. RAID and backups remain important because hardware replacement alone does not guarantee application consistency or data recovery.
