A bare metal server is a dedicated physical server rented exclusively to a single customer. Unlike virtual servers, bare metal hosting provides direct access to the server's CPU, RAM, storage, and network resources without a virtualization layer, resulting in predictable performance and full hardware control.
A Bare Metal Server, also known as a dedicated server, is a physical computer rented exclusively to a single user or organization. It is a distinct piece of physical hardware, rather than a virtual server or virtual machine that runs on shared computing resources.
Atlantic.Net has bare metal colocation centers throughout the United States. Customers lease Bare Metal from us for several reasons. Firstly, there is no need to purchase expensive servers, storage, or GPUs. The upfront costs with leasing are a fraction of purchasing the hardware resources outright. Secondly, our customers have the freedom to install the operating systems and applications that best suit their needs directly onto the Bare Metal Server. Your teams can procure licenses for whatever software your business needs. You can also reach out to Atlantic.Net for licensing, we have close relationships with some of the biggest software providers in the Industry.
Bare Metal Hosting services offer stand-alone machines. These are distinct from dedicated cloud servers as they are not typically integrated with the public cloud. Think of it as a server, that's built and installed in our data centers. Once you lease the device, we give you access to the server and any assistance needed to get the server operational. You can pick either an off-the-shelf configuration or perhaps customize your very own supercomputer.
Bare metal server hosting is a managed service from specialist MSPs like Atlantic.Net who focus on renting a physical server and providing direct access to the server hardware components. This service offers businesses optimal server performance and customization, ideal for handling demanding workloads. Customers are free to use the server as they wish, and if needed, the servers can be integrated into Atlantic.Net managed services, offering a blend of dedicated hardware and cloud service benefits.
Our Bare Metal Hosting plans are configurable to your needs. You can either utilize the default hosting plan configuration or contact us with your RAM and disk space needs, and we will do the rest. Our hosting plans can be upgraded to fit your growing requirements, and you can choose servers with resources from a wide range of deployable resources. Each Bare Metal Hosting plan is competitively priced against other bare metal providers, and we offer generous discounts for contracted terms with either one, two, or three-year terms.

Bare Metal Servers are single-tenant physical servers. This means you avoid the performance interference often found in shared hosting environments. You have root access to the hardware of the dedicated server, giving complete control over your leased physical servers. This allows you to create a custom server platform, maximizing performance and eliminating the overhead often found with virtual machines. You have the freedom to host any service or application you choose.
Bare Metal Servers provide several benefits, including:
Layer 2 network virtualization can isolate customer workloads from other customer activity.
Bare Metal Servers offer a high degree of isolation, which is important for meeting stringent security and compliance requirements. Layer 2 network virtualization allows customer workloads to be completely isolated from other tenants, ensuring that data and applications are secure from potential threats that might come from shared virtual environments.
This isolation also means that performance is not impacted by the activities of other users, providing consistent and reliable service. This makes it suitable for running sensitive applications and storing critical data.
Unlike virtualized environments, Bare Metal Servers do not come with a pre-installed hypervisor, allowing users to have complete control over their server infrastructure. This means you can choose and install the operating system that best fits your needs, as well as any applications and software configurations without any limitations imposed by a hypervisor.
The added control also extends to hardware configurations and network settings, providing the flexibility to optimize the server's performance for specific workloads. You can tailor the server environment to meet unique requirements, ensuring that the infrastructure is aligned with your operational goals.
Private cloud customers can have greater visibility into the underlying infrastructure of a Bare Metal Server within the cloud services.
Bare Metal Servers provide enhanced visibility into the underlying infrastructure of virtual private servers, which is particularly beneficial for private cloud customers. Having an increased visibility allows you to monitor and manage the server environment more effectively, gaining insights into performance metrics, resource utilization, and potential bottlenecks.
Such transparency also aids in security management. You can track access logs, network traffic, and other critical data points, enabling you to detect and respond to security threats swiftly.
Having dedicated resources ensures consistent performance, supporting large, steady-state workloads.
Since the resources of a Bare Metal Server are dedicated to a single tenant, there are no resource contention issues, resulting in consistent and reliable performance across multiple servers. This makes it suitable for running high-performance computing applications, data-intensive tasks, and other demanding workloads that require significant processing power.

Pick bare metal when you need raw performance and complete customization over the server hardware. Pick a virtualized host when you are happy with great performance, but are not concerned about the virtualization overhead. Virtualized still gives plenty of performance, but bare metal is the way to go if you have mission-critical workloads.
NVMe is usually standard on bare-metal servers; however, it depends on the hosting provider. Bare Metal flexibility lets you configure the server exactly as you need. Perhaps you need NVMe for the Operating System and/or Database, but you are happy with mechanical drives for database flat file archives. Bare Metal gives you this flexibility in abundance.
Yes. With bare metal, you are configured as the system administrator. You get full root access and have complete control over the underlying hardware and the operating system.
Bare Metal is very popular with small, medium, and large businesses. At Atlantic.Net, bare metal is particularly popular with our HIPAA hosting clients, cPanel resellers, and our Financial and Legal Customers. Developers prefer bare-metal options with AI GPUs for advanced analytics and private LLMs.
The migration path from cloud to bare metal depends on the workload, application architecture, and business requirements. In many cases, we perform lift-and-shift migrations or virtualized-to-physical migrations for existing customers. For new customers, we provide Managed Migration Services with a structured migration process that includes discovery, infrastructure planning, secure data migration, server provisioning, environment hardening, testing, and final cutover.
Yes, at Atlantic.Net, DDoS protection is available as an optional configurable service. We offer a class-leading network-edge service with one of the most reliable DDoS detection and protection solutions available.
Local databases are a perfect fit for bare-metal servers. Databases are designed to function in memory with extensive access to CPU and disk resources. On bare metal, there is no contention, making high-performance, ultra-low-latency databases easy to achieve.
Yes—bare metal is designed for high performance, offering dedicated hardware and consistent resources. That said, whether it is the best option depends on your specific workload and scaling needs.
Yes, some bare metal providers offer fast or near-instant provisioning. However, actual setup time depends on the server configuration, availability, and any custom requirements. If you need instant provisioning, perhaps a dedicated cloud server or a dedicated cloud host would be a better fit.
Many providers offer custom OS installs, including Atlantic.Net. Availability may vary based on hardware, operating system compatibility, and setup needs, so it is best to confirm your exact OS or image requirements when ordering.
Bare-metal servers can support custom OS installations, depending on the hardware configuration, operating system compatibility, and deployment requirements. Atlantic.Net offers flexible bare metal solutions, and custom OS installation options are available based on your specific setup needs.
