Run your projects on single-tenant servers with dedicated resources, UK data centres and flexible pay-as-you-go usage.
High-performance hardware
With lightning-fast SSDs and dedicated resources, Bare Metal servers give your projects the power they need.
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.
Our UK-based expert support teams are available to help you 24/7 by phone, email or live chat.
Intelligent load balancers spread the resources around your server infrastructure to optimise performance.
The security and high-performance of physical servers, with all the latest hardware and enterprise components.
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.
UK or international data centres, always UK support
Select one of our data centres in the UK, the US, Germany or Spain to optimise the experience of your visitors. Whichever location you choose, you'll always receive 24/7 UK support, with personalised and cost-effective server management also available from our dedicated Professional Services team.
Take control of your Bare Metal server remotely from anywhere in the world through VNC console. It's easy to connect to your server from a desktop to perform server health checks, administration tasks and maintenance activities.
You can always view current usage for the month (bill so far) before your next invoice date, along with all past monthly invoices and an estimate of usage up to the last day of the month.
You can start or stop a plan at the end of the month, with total amount payable shown on the last day of the month, and the balance payable on the 1st of the next month.
A top-level summary shows you all chargeable features in your CloudNX plan, giving a detailed breakdown of usage and charges for all relevant items (a components breakdown doesn’t apply to pre-set configurations).
Daily and monthly budgets are simple to manage: you can see projected upcoming invoices, based on current usage and latest settings (at the time of viewing).

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.
