Bare Metal Servers

Unlike VPS where resources are shared, Bare Metal servers give you exclusive use of an entire physical machine.

Liquid Web’s Bare Metal Hosting provides the ultimate in raw power, dedicated resources, and direct hardware access. Unlike traditional virtualized hosting (like VPS or cloud instances) where resources are shared, Bare Metal servers give you exclusive use of an entire physical machine, with no virtualization layer between your operating system and the hardware.

This translates to unparalleled performance, minimal latency, and complete control, making it the ideal solution for the most demanding applications, high-traffic websites, intensive data processing, gaming servers, and environments requiring strict compliance or specific hardware configurations. With Bare Metal, you gain full root/administrator access, allowing you to optimize every aspect of your server for peak efficiency.
