Nobody else is on this machine.

Nobody else is on the machine. On a VPS you have a guaranteed slice of a physical server, but the disk heads, the memory bus and the network card are shared with whoever else is on that host — which is fine until one of them starts a backup. On bare metal there is no hypervisor between you and the hardware and no neighbours to be affected by. You also get every cycle of the processor, which matters for software licensed per physical core.

No, and this is the most important thing on the page. Every bare-metal machine we can sell you sits abroad — Singapore, Sydney, Frankfurt, London, Gravelines, Roubaix, Strasbourg, Warsaw or Beauharnois in Canada. Singapore is the nearest at roughly seventy milliseconds from an Indian metro. If your users are in India and the workload is interactive, a VPS in Mumbai will feel faster than any bare-metal machine on this page, and we would rather tell you that here than after you have paid.

Twenty-four hours, and that figure is the same on all one hundred and three configurations. It is not a queue we are hiding behind — a physical machine has to be allocated, racked and cabled, and that is how long it takes. If you need something running this afternoon, that is a VPS.

No. Every configuration in this catalog is delivered bare, with no OS installed at all. You install what you want, or you ask us and we do it as part of the handover — which is the honest reason the done-for-you route is worth more here than it is on VPS. Tell us the distribution and the stack before we order the machine and it can be running when you first log in.

Yes, and on bare metal we would usually suggest it. Installing the operating system, hardening it, configuring the firewall and RAID where the machine supports it, migrating whatever you are running now, and installing the stack on top — including AI agents like Hermes or OpenClaw. It is quoted per machine rather than a fixed fee, because the work genuinely differs between a single web server and a virtualisation host.

No. Every configuration on this page has a zero installation fee, which we can say flatly because it is a field in the catalog rather than a policy we are choosing. The monthly price is the price.

Because our supplier’s catalog does not state one for them. Eight configurations, all in Canada, come through with the processor field empty. Rather than guess or quietly hide those machines, they are listed with the field marked — ask and we will confirm the exact processor in writing before you commit to anything.

Because the disk does most of the pricing, not the memory. A 64 GB machine with 900 GB of NVMe can cost more than a 128 GB machine with spinning disks, and both are correct prices. It is worth reading across the bands rather than assuming the expensive one is the better machine for your job — if you are memory-bound, the cheaper band may genuinely be the right answer.

No — it is port speed, in megabits per second, and it ranges from 100 to 500 depending on the configuration. It is how fast the machine can talk, not how much it is allowed to say in a month. If you have a specific monthly transfer requirement, tell us and we will get it confirmed for the exact machine.

The facility replaces the failed component and we chase it on your behalf. We are not going to print a replacement time here as though it were our own guarantee, because it is not — it belongs to the datacentre. What we will do is get the specific commitment for the machine you are looking at, in writing, before you order it. If your workload cannot survive a single machine being down, the honest answer is two machines, and we will price that instead.

Yes, but it is a migration rather than a resize. A physical server cannot grow, so moving up means a new machine, your data copied across and a cutover — which is exactly why it is worth being honest about the size you need now. We run both in parallel while you check, then move the DNS out of hours.

Monthly only. There is no hourly bare metal in this catalog, and there is not really such a thing as an hourly physical machine — somebody has to rack it either way. If you want to pay by the hour for compute, the GPU page is billed hourly and at cost.

Not applicable — we are not GST registered, so no GST is added to anything on this site. The price on the card is the price you pay. It also means we cannot issue a GST invoice, so if your business needs one for input credit, tell us before you order.

Tell us the machine and we will send a payment link. Online checkout is being wired up now; until it is live, a message on WhatsApp is genuinely the fastest route from choosing a configuration to having one allocated.
