Tailor to your needs

Install your preferred operating system, software, and security measures for functionality that’s specific to your needs.

Reduce overhead

The lack of a hypervisor translates to faster, more efficient performance—ideal for resource-intensive applications.

Enhance performance

Dedicated resources keep your apps running at peak efficiency with no risk of “noisy neighbors” or resource contention.

Virtualization containerizes your environment, making it easier to manage and scale.

Why bare metal servers

  • Our bare metal hosting is designed for self-managed environments, with pricing that fits the unique needs of self-managed users, so you get exactly what you need without overspending.

Why bare metal cloud

  • You can instantly resize without the full migration required by traditional bare metal servers, saving time and minimizing disruption. And our cloud-based backups and snapshots ensure easy data protection.

Bare metal benefits

Customizability

You have root access to the server, which allows for fine-tuning that’s simply not possible on shared hosting plans. You can use this feature to split server resources into custom, virtual machines or just dedicate all resources to your application.

Performance

Security

Your data is physically isolated from other servers and their tenants, which makes it much more difficult for an attacker to penetrate your systems and steal your data.

Reliability

Bare metal servers excel in reliability due to their isolated nature, shielding them from performance disruptions caused by load spikes or the “noisy neighbor” effect.

Support

With 24/7 support, troubleshooting issues is easier than ever. If you’re experiencing long wait times or unanswered tickets with your current host, consider a bare metal server with a managed hosting provider like Liquid Web.

Quick guide

Top reasons to buy a bare metal server

Typically, bare metal servers find great use as supplementary hosting for dedicated servers. You depend on dedicated servers for average demand and add bare metal servers to your configuration when required to meet increases in resource requirements. 

Dedicated resources

Similar to dedicated servers, bare metal servers provide the advantage of being physically separated from other servers, meaning that the server owner is the only one using its resources. This allows for better performance, improved security, and uptime.

Quick deployment

While bare metal servers come in limited, predefined configurations, they offer the benefit of being instantly available upon request, while dedicated servers can take up to 48 hours to build.

If you want to focus on building your website without waiting for your server to be built, you definitely need a bare metal server.

Simple scalability

Unlike VPS and shared hosting, increased load on other servers will not reduce performance or cause downtime on your bare metal server.

If you don’t want other tenants to affect your server performance, you should consider using a bare metal server instead.

Easy management

Even if you’re a tech-savvy user, one reason why you need a bare metal server is their easy management and the time they can save you if you need to scale up to a server with more resources.

Bare metal servers are physical machines in a data center, which makes management and hardware upgrades incredibly easy compared to other solutions like shared hosting.

Predictable cost

With bare metal servers, you can adjust the hardware according to your needs. Whether your application requires more CPU cores for faster data processing or more RAM and bandwidth for handling more connections, you can select the configuration that best suits your needs — all with a very simple and predictable billing model.

Top differences

Bare metal vs managed dedicated

Both bare metal and dedicated servers are single-tenant, physical servers, so there aren’t many differences in configuration. Instead, their differences lie in how hosting providers package these two servers. 

Provisioning time

The hardware resources you need for your IT infrastructure vary all the time. If you want to save money, you need your IT system to provision only the computing resources it requires. 

You can opt for such quick provisioning with bare metal servers—resources are instantly deployable. Dedicated servers often require lead time to change their configuration, so they can’t be used to provision resources on the fly. 

Hardware infrastructure

Managed dedicated servers are affordable single-tenant solutions that use inexpensive-to-standard hardware. For instance, they may opt for SATA SSDs or HDDs and older Intel Xeon processors. 

Bare metal servers, on the other hand, are usually premium offerings and come with a range of high-end hardware choices, including NVMe SSDs, the latest Xeon Gold processors, and high-speed bandwidth connections. 

Security

Security is a major consideration for any server deployment. With both bare metal and dedicated servers you benefit from physical isolation and a single-tenant environment.

Bare metal servers are exactly as secure as you configure them to be. Dedicated servers with managed services will automatically apply any required operating system security updates and patches.

When considering the security of bare metal versus dedicated servers, it comes down to a choice between control and convenience.

Top differences

Bare metal servers vs private cloud

Bare metal and private cloud are secure, high-performing, single-tenant hosting solutions for enterprise businesses.

A bare metal server gives you complete control over your IT infrastructure. It’s suitable for businesses with predictable, resource-intensive workloads.

A private cloud allows enterprises to scale their resources as they see fit, making it ideal for agile businesses with fluctuating workloads.

Virtualization overhead

Unlike bare metal servers, cloud servers have a hypervisor layer between the hardware and operating system. The hypervisor is essential for virtualization but takes up the server’s resources, which means that using all of a cloud server’s resources isn’t possible.

Single vs multiple servers

A bare metal server is a single-tenant, physical server on the client’s premises or in a remote location. A private cloud can have multiple virtual machines that run on a single physical server or pool resources from multiple servers.

Workload management

In a bare metal server, apps run on a single machine and share the physical server’s resources. This setup can lead to resource contention, which occurs when one app hogs the server’s resources. 

A private cloud allows you to create multiple isolated virtual machines. For example, you can make a virtual machine with high computing power to run critical workloads and use low-capacity machines for less important applications. 

Ease of scalability

You can build a bare metal server according to your needs. However, dynamically scaling resources up and down isn’t easy once the server has been configured. With a private cloud, you can dynamically add more virtual machines as your needs change. 

Entry cost

 A bare metal server is a standalone machine, and you need to buy or lease a bare metal server as a whole. In contrast, you can choose a small cloud environment that suits your initial needs and provision more resources as your business grows.

Top differences

VPS vs bare metal hosting

Traditional bare metal servers are physical servers with only one operating system installed directly on the server’s hardware and are dedicated to a single user.

Virtual private servers function similarly to physical servers, but multiple VMs can be hosted on a single physical server. 

Hypervisor

To understand a VPS, it’s important to know the role a hypervisor plays in virtualization.

A hypervisor—also known as a virtual machine monitor (VMM)—is one type of virtualization. Because a hypervisor virtualization software layer is needed to create and run a VPS, it comes with a tax on server performance.

This means that simply installing and running a hypervisor automatically reduces physical server resources and can cause latency, which is a delay between when a request is issued and processed.

Multi-tenant

With virtual private servers, each dedicated VPS on a server is leased out to different customers, making it a multi-tenant server solution.

A bare metal server allows a single tenant to use 100 percent of its resources at any given time, boosting performance and minimizing server downtime. Because a bare metal server is completely private, data, applications, and resources remain isolated from other tenants.

Customization

A VPS hosting solution allows you to enable, disable, install, or remove software, as well as adjust software configurations to your business specifications.

Additionally, this hosting model doesn't typically restrict the software you can use in your environment.

With a bare metal server, the configuration is completely customizable. You can choose hardware resources, an OS, a control panel, and software based on your needs.
