Rent a real, physical machine in a New York metro Tier III+ facility — not a virtual slice of one. Full root, IPMI, hardware replacement included, and under 2 ms to Manhattan. From $499/mo.
Physical server hosting, bare metal hosting and dedicated servers all describe the same thing. What changes is what you are compared against.
A VPS shares a motherboard with strangers through a hypervisor, and their workload becomes your latency. A physical server has no hypervisor and no neighbours — the clock speeds on the spec sheet are the clock speeds you get, at 3pm on a Tuesday like any other time.
Colocation means buying $8,000 of hardware, depreciating it over three years and replacing failed disks yourself. Renting turns that into a monthly line item where component failure is our cost, not a capital event for you.
Under 2 ms to Manhattan and Long Island, under 8 ms to Boston, Philadelphia and Washington DC, with NYIIX and Equinix NY peering. For a US East user base or anything latency-sensitive, physical proximity is still the cheapest performance you can buy.
Disks, memory, PSUs and mainboards are replaced at no charge, 24/7, by engineers already in the building. You never file an RMA or wait for a courier to reach a datacenter you do not have keys to.
Physical server hosting means renting an actual machine in a datacenter rather than a virtual slice of one. It is the same thing as bare metal hosting or a dedicated server: one tenant, one motherboard, no hypervisor in between.
With colocation you buy the hardware and we rack it. With physical server hosting we own the hardware and you rent it monthly — no capital outlay, no depreciation, and failed components are our problem to replace.
Under 2 ms round trip from Manhattan and Long Island, under 3 ms from Brooklyn, Queens and Jersey City. Boston and Washington DC are under 8 ms via NYIIX and Equinix NY peering.
Escorted visits can be arranged with 72 hours' notice for customers with an active server. Remote hands are available 24/7 if you only need something physically touched rather than to be there yourself.
We replace it, at no charge, as part of the rental. Hardware failure is our risk, not yours — that is the main practical difference between renting a physical server and owning one.
