Spin it up and take it back down when you’re done with it. With Bare Metal you only pay for resources you use.
Traditional dedicated servers can take hours to spin up, but a Bare Metal server can be ready in just minutes.

Unlimited bandwidth to keep your projects moving as fast as possible.
With a Bare Metal server you can see and control usage for the current month, down to the minute with no upfront costs or contracts. Start or stop your Bare Metal server at any time, and with ongoing cost estimates you can see a summary of the total amount payable on the last day of the month.
The resources on your Bare Metal servers are dedicated to you, and you alone. This ensures high-performance at all times, but you can add more resources if you need to by upgrading to a more powerful model.
If you already have a cluster of virtual machines it’s easy to link your Bare Metal server to your VM and have them work together. Spin up a Bare Metal Server to take some of the heavy processing load away from your VM and shut down the server when you’re finished. Or store critical data on a Bare Metal server and have frontend, load-balanced virtual machines split the processing load.
Solid-state disks offer high performance speeds even over the heaviest of workloads. SSDs have higher input/output rates than hard-disk drives which means faster processing times for your server. Because SSDs don’t have moving parts they offer more stability than hard-disk drives.

Bare Metal servers give you full power and total control over your server infrastructure. Built on the latest technology, with enterprise-grade hardware, Bare Metal servers give your projects the highest levels of performance. Pick from the latest Intel processors and choose the resource levels for your project's demands, and with root access you have free choice of the latest Windows or Linux operating systems.
A Bare Metal server is just like having your own server in an office server room or data centre. You can easily log in as an administrator and install your applications and manage resources. If you just want to be able to get going quickly with standard functions like hosting websites or email then add a server management tool like Plesk or cPanel.
If your projects are more resource-demanding, then choose a Bare Metal server with higher levels of RAM, and a more powerful processor. For short-term power, choose a pay-as-you-use server with hourly billing.
Fasthosts Bare Metal servers are provisioned and ready to use in minutes.
Payment is made monthly, at either a set price in a fixed-term contract, or calculated on by-the-hour usage. If you choose hourly billing, you can log in to your control panel and see usage forecasts and cost predictions before your next invoice.
Cloud Servers and virtual machines share the computing power between multiple cores but with Bare Metal servers all of the resources are dedicated to you alone.
