One tenant. The whole machine.
Single-tenant hardware for workloads that are heavy all the time, need predictable I/O, or sit under a compliance rule that forbids sharing a box.

Three reasons to take a whole machine
If none of these describe you, a VPS or cloud plan will do the same job for less. We will tell you that on the call.
The load is heavy and constant
Not spiky, constant. When you pay for peak capacity around the clock anyway, owning the peak is cheaper than renting it.
I/O has to be predictable
Database-heavy workloads feel virtualised storage. On single-tenant hardware the disk and network are yours, and the numbers stop moving.
Shared tenancy is not permitted
Some contracts, audits and regulatory regimes require it. That is a requirement, not a preference.
What we agree before anything is built
Every line is a decision with a cost and a consequence. We go through them with you rather than publishing a configurator that guesses.
Processor
Core count against clock speed.
Memory
Sized to the working set, with headroom.
Storage
NVMe capacity and the RAID level.
Network
Port speed and transfer, sized to real peaks.
Operating system
Distribution, version, and who patches it.
Management
Managed or not, decided in writing.
Backups
Destination, retention, tested restores.
Access
Who holds root, and what happens when they leave.
No checkout button, on purpose
Dedicated hardware is specified, quoted and built. A one-click order for a machine nobody has sized is how people end up with the wrong one.

Tell us the workload
What it runs, how heavy, and what the constraint is.
- 2
We specify it
A written configuration with the reasoning for each choice.

You get a quote
Monthly cost, provisioning date, and what is included.
- 4
We build and migrate
Hardware allocated, OS built, your site moved and checked.
Start with the workload, not the hardware
Tell us what it does and where it hurts today. If a VPS or cloud plan would do the same job, we will say so.
Before you buy
The things people actually ask us, answered plainly.
Why choose dedicated over a large VPS?
Three reasons, and if none apply a VPS is the better buy. Sustained heavy load, where you are paying for the peak anyway. Predictable disk and network I/O, which virtualisation cannot guarantee. And compliance or contractual requirements that forbid shared tenancy outright.
How long does provisioning take?
Longer than a VPS, because it is physical. The specification has to be agreed, the hardware allocated and the operating system built. We give you a date when we quote rather than an estimate on a marketing page.
Is it managed?
It can be. Managed means we handle the operating system, patching, hardening, monitoring and backups on your hardware, and you keep root. Unmanaged means the machine is yours from the operating system up. Decide this before you order, not after.
What happens when I need more capacity?
Dedicated hardware does not scale elastically — that is its honest limitation. Growing means adding another machine or moving the workload. If your load varies a lot rather than being consistently heavy, cloud hosting is a better shape for it.
