Dedicated vs bare metal: What’s the difference?
At Liquid Web, they’re the same. Unlike some competitors that use “dedicated” to describe less performant multi-tenant shared hardware, our dedicated servers are true single-tenant bare metal machines. You get 100% of the server’s resources, giving you total control, maximum performance, strong security, and high reliability.

The dedicated hosting you need, the way you want it

Quick activation

Our bare metal dedicated servers can be ready in as little as 30 minutes, so you can start working right away.

Fast connections

With low latency and global server locations, we provide seamless connections for users everywhere.

Flexible management

Choose from three control panel options—cPanel, Plesk, or InterWorx—and customizable management tiers to tailor your hosting to your exact needs.

  • AlmaLinux 8 64-bit with Interworx
  • AlmaLinux 8 64-bit with cPanel
  • AlmaLinux 9 64-bit with Plesk

Flexibility and performance—we’ve got you covered

Included with bare metal servers

No virtualization layer

The absence of virtualization eliminates the overhead and performance limitations associated with hypervisors, allowing direct hardware access and maximizing computational power and efficiency for demanding workloads.

Access

You have root or administrative access to the server, providing total control over the operating system, software, and configurations.

Remote management 

Remote management tools—SSH for Linux servers or remote desktop access for Windows servers—enable you to oversee your server from anywhere with internet connectivity.

IP address

A dedicated IP address enhances the security and the accessibility of your bare metal server.

Storage disks and cards

Pre-set servers come with top-tier SSDs by default. You have the option to ask for NVMe, GPU, extra networking ports, increased networking speeds, and self-encrypting drives.

DDoS attack protection

Every bare metal server includes standard DDoS protection, ensuring uninterrupted online operations and preserving data integrity.

Environment

We meticulously evaluate every aspect affecting a server—like cooling, airflow, power supply, rack placement, and hardware—so you don’t have to.

Data centers

Your server is housed in a tightly secured data center accessible only to authorized personnel, ensuring the protection of your data and online activities.

Scaling

Bare metal servers support easy upgrades of individual components, like RAM or storage, and integration with virtual machines and cloud services for hybrid or multi-cloud setups.

Cores

Cores allow multiple tasks to be processed simultaneously, ensuring rapid website responsiveness and smooth handling of complex operations.

RAM

RAM ensures fast data retrieval and seamless multitasking, optimizing site performance and user experience even during peak traffic periods.

Included with cloud metal servers

Server management


With our flexible API, you can easily create, clone, and resize servers, restore server backups, adjust cloud firewall settings, and much more.

Dedicated resources

Your server’s resources are entirely devoted to your site or app, resulting in lightning-fast loading times, uninterrupted uptime, and the ability to handle even the most demanding traffic.

Fast provisioning 

Your new instance goes from setup to production in minutes, not days, allowing you to quickly respond to market changes and seize opportunities.

Easy upgrades

Unlike traditional dedicated servers, you can upgrade your hardware with the click of a button—no costly migration required.

DDoS attack protection

Get real-time monitoring to mitigate malicious traffic and shield your site and server from sudden attacks.

Cloudflare CDN

Distribute the performance load across global servers to accelerate site speed and enhance security.

Server Secure advanced security

Optimize security settings with exclusive server protection available for fully managed Windows and Linux cloud servers.

Gigabit uplink

Dedicated server and bare metal FAQ

A dedicated server is a physical machine or system exclusively dedicated to a single individual, organization, or application. Unlike shared servers, dedicated servers provide exclusive access to all of the physical server’s resources, including processing power, memory, and storage. This maximizes performance, security, and control.

Bare metal is a type of dedicated server that refers to raw hardware without virtualization layers or hypervisors. It provides physical server resources exclusively dedicated to a single customer.

At Liquid Web, there is no difference. While some competitors use the term “dedicated” loosely—sometimes referring to multi-tenant environments where resources are shared—Liquid Web’s dedicated servers are always single-tenant, bare metal hardware. This means you get complete access to 100% of the server resources, providing you with maximum performance, full control, enhanced security, and superior reliability.

The amount of RAM you need on a dedicated server depends on your specific use case.

Consider your workload, expected traffic, and software requirements. If you’re unsure, it’s best to start with a slightly higher amount than you need to avoid performance bottlenecks. Also, check if your provider allows easy RAM upgrades so you can scale as needed.

You should restart your dedicated server:

Security updates, especially kernel updates, often require a restart to apply changes fully. If your hosting provider notifies you of critical updates or patches, scheduling a reboot during low-traffic periods is a good practice. 

However, frequent or unexpected reboots may indicate underlying hardware or software issues, so monitoring server logs and diagnosing the root cause is crucial to avoid unnecessary downtime.

Dedicated server hosting is the management of hardware resources by a hosting provider to ensure that content—such as websites, emails, and media files—can be accessed and used by people online.

The hosting provider is responsible for keeping the server running and connected to the Internet, so requests and content can be communicated to and from end-user computers.

Bare metal recovery (also called “bare metal restore”) is a recovery process that allows you to restore a system—including its OS, applications, and data—directly onto a bare metal machine. Unlike traditional backup methods, which require a functional existing operating system, BMR rebuilds everything from scratch, so you can recover a completely unresponsive or corrupted system.
