We can build a customized solution for you. Custom Larger Complex Deployments ## A High Performance Dedicated Host, Ready for You in Seconds The deployment process is super simple; it's the exact same way you deploy all other servers available from Atlantic.Net: - Log into the ACP Cloud Console - https://cloud.atlantic.net - Choose the hosting plan you want from the Dedi Hosts menu - Deploy your instance in seconds! ### No Lead Time: Each Dedicated Host Is Available Now! There is no lead time on the dedicated host fleet; each physical server plan is available from the cloud console. Our technical experts can enable your cloud account to have access to over forty customizable plans (if required) on top of the three standard plans available to all. ### Customized Dedicated Host Plans An on-demand dedicated host can utilize the default plan configurations, or you can just call or email us with the physical server CPU cores, RAM, storage needed, and any other requirements, and we will do the rest. Physical dedicated hosts plans can be upgraded as needed. Choose from: System Memory: From 128GB to 8TB of RAM CPU Cores: From 6 to 40+ CPU cores Storage: Up to 12.8TB NVMe RAID 10, and SATA SSD available ACP hosts and dedicated instances are available at all eight of our global data center locations, strategically located throughout the United States, Canada, Asia, and Europe. Each dedicated host plan is competitively priced, and you can transfer eligible software licenses to keep costs down. ### Automatic Instance Placement on the Same Physical Server Atlantic.Net operates an instance placement scheme that allows you to create any dedicated instance on any ACP Dedicated Hosts you have signed up for. With Atlantic.Net's instance placement scheme, you are assigned a Dedicated Host ID automatically via the ACP console, and you can deploy any new dedicated instance directly onto a specific Dedicated Host or any other host you have with Atlantic.Net. Dedicated Hosts enable you to run as few or as many dedicated instances on the same host as you like with multiple instance size support. As your business grows, you can purchase more Dedicated Hosts and split the stack workload between your hosts using instance placement controls. Controlling instance placement is easy from the Atlantic.Net cloud console. ### Licensing Costs - Dedicated Hosts Dedicated Hosts enable greater visibility and access to the physical server hardware. Latency is minimal on our Dedicated Hosts. It's a perfect choice if you opt to bring your own license (BYOL). We know many of our customers have already heavily invested in critical business applications such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server licenses, or Exchange Server. BYOL allows you to transfer those licenses onto Atlantic.Net Dedicated Hosts. Simply pick a dedicated host (single host) that has the same physical cores as set out by the terms and conditions of your license fulfillment. ### Dedicated Host Pricing and Billing With a Dedicated Host, you can maximize your investment by deploying multiple dedicated instances on top of your dedicated host with multiple instance-size support. This can be achieved using any of the available one-click applications provided by Atlantic.Net. You can leverage your own virtualization per your preference, for example, via Linux, containerization via Docker, or even by Web Hosting Management (WHM) with applications such as cPanel. Dedicated Host Instance billing is simple and straightforward. All you pay for is the dedicated physical server(s); there is no charge to launch instances, deploy an instance family, or consistently deploy multiple instance types! Unlike most other Cloud Providers, with Atlantic.Net you just pay for the dedicated host! Another great example of why you should choose us when comparing dedicated hosts. ### Windows Server Licensing The only extra charge we have to enforce is to manage licensing for Microsoft Windows Server; this is applied to instances automatically and is required for Microsoft products only. This practice is enforced because Microsoft does require license affinity on Windows Server AMIs. If you have any queries about licensing, please contact the team. Additionally, we offer a generous discount for sustained usage agreements for host billing starting from monthly, one-year, and three-year terms for our on-demand instances. ### Hybrid Cloud Options Launch Cloud instances on your Dedicated Hosts and Atlantic.Net's Public Cloud Platform based on your project needs. Whether you deploy on only one service, both, or even decide to add on a specialized hosting need, Atlantic.Net's Dedicated Host fleet has you covered with all types of hybrid cloud models. ## Dedicated Hosts vs. Cloud Hosting vs. Bare Metal | Feature | Dedicated Hosts | Cloud Hosting | Bare Metal Servers | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Hardware Access | Exclusive physical server with cloud orchestration | Shared virtualized infrastructure | Exclusive physical server, no virtualization layer | | Deployment Speed | Seconds via ACP console | Seconds via ACP console | Custom provisioning | | Instance Placement | Multiple instances on one physical host | Single instance per deployment | Single tenant, full server | | BYOL Support | Yes – ideal for SQL Server, Oracle, Exchange | Limited | Yes | | Scalability | Live migration to larger hosts | On-demand resize | Upgrade via provisioning | | Billing Model | Pay per host (instances free) | Hourly / monthly per instance | Monthly or custom | | Best For | Multi-instance workloads, BYOL, compliance | Dev/test, bursty apps, rapid scaling | Single-tenant performance, full control | | Compliance | HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2/3, GDPR | HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2/3, GDPR | HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2/3, GDPR | | Uptime SLA | 100% | 100% | 100% | ## Dedicated Host Use Cases Atlantic.Net Dedicated Hosts combine the isolation of physical hardware with the flexibility of cloud orchestration, making them ideal for a wide range of enterprise workloads. ### Database Hosting Run Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, or PostgreSQL on dedicated hardware with guaranteed CPU and memory resources, eliminating noisy-neighbor performance issues. ### BYOL Licensing Transfer existing server-bound software licenses (SQL Server, Windows Server, Oracle, Exchange) to Atlantic.Net Dedicated Hosts and reduce per-core licensing costs. ### Compliance Workloads Meet HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2/3, and GDPR requirements on physically isolated infrastructure with full control over the security configuration of every instance. ### Web Hosting Clusters Host dozens to thousands of websites on a single Dedicated Host using cPanel, WHM, or containerized deployments – paying only for the host, not per instance. ### Virtualization Platforms Deploy Hyper-V, KVM, or Docker containers on dedicated hardware with full root access and the freedom to provision any plan type on the same physical server. ### Hybrid Cloud Deployments Combine Dedicated Hosts with Atlantic.Net cloud instances for a hybrid architecture – run sensitive workloads on dedicated hardware while bursting to the cloud for elasticity. ## Dedicated Host Features: Launch Cloud instances on your Dedicated Hosts and Atlantic.Net's Public Cloud Platform based on your project needs.

Deploy instances on the same physical server, change your plan, migrate and grow as your business grows. The freedom to provision any plan type and controlling instance placement is hugely popular with our customers. ### Scale Up with Live Migrations Running out of resources? Not a problem; live migrate to a larger dedicated host with no downtime! The Dedicated Host Platform scales as your business grows. Start with a relatively small dedicated host with the option to always upgrade whenever you choose. Enjoy the freedom of being able to migrate dedicated instances or launch instances live between the hosts. ### Optional Backups Daily, Hourly, and 15-Minute Frequency for Onsite and Offsite Backups for your instance. They are a great way to address corporate compliance as well as provide the peace of mind that your critical business data is safe. ## The Advantages of Dedicated Hosts Maximize security and resource isolation with Dedicated Hosts.

For faster application deployment, free IT architecture design, and assessment, call 866-618-DATA (3282) or email us at sales@atlantic.net. ### Unmatched Performance and Resource Isolation A dedicated server will offer much superior performance as you have exclusive access to the entire server's resources (CPU cores, RAM, storage), especially when compared to shared Virtual Private Servers (VPS). This eliminates the "noisy neighbor" effect, ensuring consistent performance at all times. ### Enhanced Security and Compliance With complete control over your server environment, dedicated hosts are ideal for businesses with strict security and compliance requirements. They are particularly well-suited for industries such as healthcare (HIPAA) and finance (PCI DSS) because you can customize the security controls exactly to your liking. ### Flexibility and Control You have full administrative access (root access) to your dedicated host, allowing you to install and configure any software or operating system that meets your needs. This is crucial for businesses with specific software requirements or custom server configurations. ### Cost-Effectiveness and Licensing Benefits Dedicated hosts can be a cost-effective solution for businesses with heavy software licensing needs (e.g., Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle). You can leverage your existing software licenses (BYOL) and avoid per-user or per-core licensing fees, optimizing your software investment. ### Scalability and High Availability Dedicated hosts can be easily scaled up or down to meet changing business requirements. You can add more resources or even migrate to a larger dedicated host with minimal downtime, ensuring your applications remain available. ### Hybrid Cloud Capabilities Dedicated hosts seamlessly integrate with public cloud platforms, enabling hybrid cloud deployments. You can run cloud instances on your dedicated hosts while leveraging Atlantic.Net cloud services for additional flexibility and scalability. ### Simplified Management and Support Atlantic.Net's dedicated hosts are fully managed, providing 24/7 support and proactive monitoring. This frees you from the complexities of server management, allowing you to focus on your core business. ## Frequently Asked Questions for Dedicated Hosts ### What is the difference between Dedicated Hosts and Dedicated Instances? Dedicated Hosts are dedicated physical servers that reside in the Atlantic.Net data centers. You can purchase one or many Dedicated Hosts. A dedicated instance is a server that runs on the Dedicated Hosts. You can run multiple dedicated instances on a Dedicated Host up to the resource limit of the host. Instance placement controls depend on available physical cores, memory, and disk space being available. ### Do I need a Dedicated Host? Dedicated Hosts are a perfect fit for companies that have hit a certain level of resources and now can receive pricing discounts. Also, a Dedicated Host is ideal for organizations looking to remove all noisy neighbor scenarios or working towards meeting regulation or compliance requirements. ### What are the advantages of a Dedicated Host? Dedicated Hosts will save growing businesses cash, help them address corporate compliance and regulatory requirements, and provide powerful, dedicated resources to their cloud assets. Resources are ring-fenced in a protected environment (perfect to address corporate compliance) meaning only your servers have 100% resource guarantees – there are no noisy neighbors here! ### How many websites can I manage on the same physical server? The number of websites will depend on many different factors. Are you including the possibility of additional plugins in your scope? Are you utilizing cPanel and WordPress solely or allowing other types of software? Atlantic.Net's Dedicated Hosts range greatly in terms of vCPUs, RAM, and Disk Space, so the size of Dedicated Host will affect how many sites you are able to host. Some of our largest customers utilize a cluster of Dedicated Hosts for one website, while other resellers will use one Dedicated Host to serve up to 1,000 websites. ### Why should I buy Dedicated Hosts from Atlantic.Net? ACP's Dedicated Hosts provide options and scalability to your business while also aiding in obtaining and meeting compliance requirements and regulations. The unmatched performance of our Dedicated Hosts, term pricing, and Atlantic.Net's 24x7 support are the reasons why Atlantic.Net has one of the lowest customer churn rates in the industry when comparing Dedicated Hosts! Atlantic.Net also has Managed Services that enable our engineers to help with issues your team may run into with your Dedicated Host that are outside our scope of support. We pride ourselves on never saying "no" and always providing a path forward. ### When would you use Dedicated Hosts? Dedicated Hosts have many use cases; they are a great fit for small and medium databases (such as SQL Server) and for businesses that need guaranteed baseline CPU performance. Perhaps you have existing Dedicated Hosts you want to offload individual services to improve performance on your stack. Dedicated Hosts are great at hosting virtual machines of varying instance sizes. Hyper-V on Windows Server is a popular choice for a specific Dedicated Host, as Microsoft offers generous per VM software licenses if you choose Windows Server. As a result, you can run an entire Windows-based Hyper-V platform only paying for software licenses against each host – these benefits save money. ### Which operating system options are available as dedicated instances? Linux Operating Systems: CentOS, Ubuntu, Rocky, Fedora, Debian, Oracle Linux, Rocky Linux, Arch Linux, and FreeBSD. Windows Operating Systems: Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2022. ### How do I assess the reliability of dedicated hosting providers? Look for a real SLA, strong uptime commitments, reliable hardware replacement policies, 24/7 support, proactive monitoring, and infrastructure designed for redundancy. A reliable dedicated hosting provider should be able to support both performance and operational continuity, not just raw server specs. ### Does Atlantic.Net offer bare-metal dedicated servers with no setup fees? Yes. Atlantic.Net offers bare-metal dedicated servers, and there is no setup fee for our dedicated hosting solutions. ### Does Atlantic.Net offer both managed and unmanaged dedicated server plans? Yes. Atlantic.Net offers both managed and unmanaged dedicated server options, so you can choose whether you want Atlantic.Net to handle day-to-day server operations or keep full responsibility in-house. ### Does Atlantic.Net's dedicated hosting support custom hardware configurations? Yes. Atlantic.Net supports custom dedicated server configurations, which is useful when you need specific CPU, memory, storage, or security requirements. ### Can I buy dedicated servers with DDoS protection included? Atlantic.Net offers DDoS protection for dedicated servers, but it is best treated as an added security service rather than something you should assume is included by default with every server. ### What are the key benefits of using a dedicated server over a VPS? A dedicated server gives you exclusive access to the hardware, more predictable performance, deeper control over security and configuration, and better isolation from other workloads. It is usually the better choice when performance consistency, compliance, or full administrative control matters more than the lower entry cost of VPS hosting. ### How many virtual machines can fit on a Dedicated Host? The number of virtual machines you can fit on a dedicated host depends on the physical server's resources (CPU cores, RAM, storage), the resource requirements of each VM, and the virtualization software you use. Different virtualization technologies have varying levels of overhead, impacting the number of VMs that can be efficiently supported. ## Read More About Dedicated Server Hosting ### [Dedicated Server Hosting](https://www.atlantic.net/dedicated-server-hosting/) - [Dedicated Server Hosting Plans](https://www.atlantic.net/dedicated-server-hosting/) - [Atlantic.Net's Dedicated Server Options](https://www.atlantic.net/dedicated-server-hosting/) ## Cloud Availability in Multiple Global Regions Deploy close to your users from eight international data centers worldwide, with new regions on the way. ## Dedicated to Your Success Jason Coleman VP of Information Technology, Orlando Magic > "After evaluating a range of managed hosting options to support our data operations, we chose Atlantic.Net because of their superior infrastructure and extensive technical knowledge."
