Bare Metal Server Hosting

Bare metal server

Bare metal servers represent a special type of server that any client of the time-tested provider AlexHost can easily access. Typically, it is a set of basic hardware without virtualization. Essentially, this server is a device without operating systems or hypervisors pre-installed by the provider, ensuring comprehensive control of the owner over the server infrastructure’s hardware resources.

You can order cheap bare metal server hosting by submitting a request on the AlexHost website. This option is most often needed for projects that impose maximum requirements on servers (power, high performance, and flexibility).

What does a classic bare metal server from AlexHost represent?

The key feature of bare metal hosting is the following: its infrastructure is not shared among multiple tenants through a hypervisor. As a result, users are protected from the complexities and issues caused by “noisy neighbors.” This way, the functionality and power of your virtual machine will not be affected by neighboring servers (you will be the sole user of this hardware).

Technical features of hosting on a physical server

When ordering the bare metal server hosting option at AlexHost, you can explore its capabilities and technical features more closely. The characteristic traits of this service include:

• Full and unrestricted access to server hardware. As a client of the AlexHost provider, you can manage the processor, disk drives, memory, and network interfaces. This allows you to easily and quickly configure and adapt bare metal server hosting according to your project requirements and preferences.
• Absence of a hypervisor. Since virtualization and a hypervisor are not provided when using such a server, you can reduce overhead on computational activity. This automatically increases data processing speed and enhances the efficiency of your project running on such a server.
• Maximum performance. The absence of a need to share the total resources among multiple tenants grants this server and its hardware high performance.
• Flexible configuration. By ordering any, even cheap bare metal servers at AlexHost, you can enjoy the simple and flexible configuration of each segment of the server, including software and the operating system. This is an ideal solution for meeting high demands and addressing specific tasks.

Advantages of a Dedicated Server on a Physical Server

Using this type of server to launch and grow your online project offers numerous significant advantages. These include:

• Reasonable pricing policy. By ordering this service from AlexHost, you can be confident that the bare metal server pricing is kept reasonable, especially when compared to prices offered by other providers. At an affordable cost, you receive a reliable and stable bare metal server.
• Low latency in processing even large volumes of data. This ensures the efficiency of your project and the stability of its operation under any conditions.
• Maximum power and performance of the server hardware used.
• Proven security of the server infrastructure. A bare metal dedicated server offers users the ability to have complete control over the server. The absence of other owners (neighbors) ensures that your data will be under reliable protection (no risk of potential impact on your personal information).
• Flexibility and high speed in server configuration. Tailor the components for the OS according to the specifics of your project.
• A combination of reliability and server stability (absence of conflicts caused by multi-user operation).

Which projects are convenient to develop on physical servers?

It is worth noting that these “bare” metal servers available for order from the AlexHost team are ideally suited for a range of projects with high requirements for security, reliability, and performance. For example, these can include:

• Web applications that involve significant loads (high traffic, the need for regular resource-intensive operations).
• Large databases and business applications (such as enterprise-level), requiring maximum performance and reliability.
• Processing large volumes of information. A bare metal server can provide sufficient resources for fast and high-quality information processing.
• Deploying game servers that require high-quality graphics and fast response times.
• Any other web applications that demand strict data control and security.
