Bare Metal · Custom

Custom dedicated servers,
spec your own.

When an off-the-shelf build is not quite right, we build the machine you actually need — your choice of CPU, memory, storage layout and networking, racked single-tenant in our Manchester data centre and quoted to spec.

Built to your spec

  • Choose the CPU — single or dual socket, high-clock or high-core-count.
  • Memory and storage sized to the workload: ECC RAM, NVMe, SSD or SAS, RAID as needed.
  • Networking to match — higher uplinks, redundant ports, private VLANs, extra IP space.
  • Single-tenant bare metal with full root/IPMI access and rapid deployment.

When custom makes sense

This line complements the standard, ready-to-ship machines at /dedicated-servers — pick a stock build if one fits, or have us spec a bespoke machine for unusual memory footprints, storage layouts, GPU or networking requirements.

UK performance hosting, Manchester-built

Custom hardware is sourced, racked and run in a Tier III certified Manchester facility, LINX-peered for low-latency UK reach, with in-house UK support.

When you order a dedicated box, this is the engineer who racks it.
Behind the metal

Single-tenant iron,
single-team support.

Dedicated servers are about ownership. The same engineer who racks your box, runs the network behind it, and answers the ticket when something needs a hand.

  • Hardware we own, racked by our own engineers — no shared compute, no shared neighbours
  • Same UK NOC handles provisioning, replacements and renewals
  • Cable IDs, drive serials and physical access logged for compliance trails
  • Out-of-band IPMI / KVM-over-IP access if you need it
