Linux Dedicated Hosting

Linux Dedicated Hosting with a Triple 100% Uptime SLA

Your applications deserve more than a shared slice of a server. Atlantic.Net Linux dedicated hosting gives you a physical server to yourself, full root access, and a choice of Linux distributions — backed by a triple 100% SLA covering network uptime, hardware replacement, and infrastructure availability.

Plans start at $139 per month with no setup fees. US-based support answers the phone 24/7/365.

What is Linux dedicated hosting?

Linux dedicated hosting is a web hosting service in which you rent an entire physical server running Linux. Unlike shared hosting, where many customers share the same server resources, a dedicated server reserves all CPU cores, RAM, storage, and bandwidth for your use alone.

You get full root access to the server, meaning you can install any software, configure the operating system as you see fit, load any Linux distribution, and set custom configurations that shared web hosting providers simply cannot offer. The hosting provider owns and maintains the physical hardware, while you control everything above the operating system level.

This model suits businesses and developers who need consistent computing power, resource-intensive applications, and complete freedom over their server environment.

Linux dedicated server configurations

Atlantic.Net offers six dedicated server plans. All include 20TB monthly outbound transfer, a 1Gbps port, and no setup fees. Longer billing terms reduce the price by up to 30%.

Server 6 pairs AMD EPYC processors with NVMe storage for workloads that demand the highest sequential read and write throughput. Custom builds are also available if none of these configurations match your exact requirements.

All RAID configurations protect against drive failure without interrupting your server. RAID1 mirrors data across two drives; RAID10 combines mirroring and striping across four drives for both redundancy and performance.

Benefits of Linux dedicated hosting

Full root access and complete control

Every Atlantic.Net Linux dedicated server ships with full root access enabled. You can install any package, compile software from open source code, configure networking, run virtual machines, or modify the kernel. Shared hosting providers limit what you can install and how you can configure the server. A dedicated server removes those limits entirely.

No noisy neighbours

On shared hosting, other tenants consume CPU cycles, RAM, and disk I/O that directly affect your application. A dedicated server is yours. High-traffic spikes from another customer never slow down your application. Your database queries run against dedicated resources, not a shared queue used by dozens of other sites.

Predictable, high performance

Dedicated servers deliver consistent performance because you are not competing for resources. High-performance applications that need low-latency responses benefit directly from this predictability. You know exactly how much CPU and RAM are available, and you can tune the Linux operating system to extract full performance from the hardware.

Cost-effective at scale

Shared hosting looks cheap until you factor in the performance ceiling, the restrictions on what you can run, and the cost of downtime. For high-traffic applications and resource-intensive workloads, a dedicated server is a cost-effective choice because you pay for capacity you fully use rather than sharing capacity you never fully use. Plans start at $139 per month, and longer billing terms bring costs down further.

Wide choice of operating systems

Linux dedicated hosting gives you access to a range of mature operating systems. Popular Linux distributions like Ubuntu, Debian, Rocky Linux, Fedora Linux, Arch Linux, and CentOS all run well on dedicated hardware. You are not locked into a single vendor's stack, and you can run different distributions on different servers to match the needs of each workload.

Compliance-ready infrastructure

Atlantic.Net holds SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3 Type II, HIPAA, HITECH, and PCI-ready certifications across its data center network. If your application handles healthcare records, payment data, or other regulated information, you can build on infrastructure that has already been audited.

Free migration assistance

Switching hosting providers is disruptive. Atlantic.Net provides free migration assistance to reduce the time and risk of migrating your workloads to a new dedicated server. The support team handles the technical side, and you keep the downtime window as short as possible.

Use cases for Linux dedicated servers

Web hosting at scale

A Linux dedicated server handles far more web traffic than shared hosting providers can support on a shared environment. You run your own web server configuration, set your own connection limits, and deploy custom caching layers. For agencies managing dozens of client sites or publishers handling millions of monthly page views, dedicated server hosting provides the throughput and the control that shared hosting cannot.

Linux server hosting providers also support load balancers as managed add-ons, letting you spread traffic across multiple servers as your audience grows. Dedicated IP addresses simplify SSL certificate management and improve email deliverability.

Game servers

Game servers demand consistent low-latency responses and the ability to handle sudden spikes in concurrent connections. A Linux dedicated server gives you the raw computing power to run popular game server software, configure tick rates, install mods, and manage multiple game instances. Atlantic.Net operates five US data centers, so you can place your game server close to your player base and reduce latency for everyone in the match.

e-commerce and online stores

An online store cannot afford downtime. Payment processing, inventory management, and checkout flows are all mission-critical workloads where even a few minutes of unavailability cost real revenue. Linux dedicated hosting with RAID storage protects against drive failure, the triple 100% SLA covers hardware replacement, and the compliance certifications mean you can meet PCI requirements without building your own audit program.

High-traffic applications and APIs

APIs, SaaS platforms, and content delivery all generate high traffic patterns that benefit from dedicated resources. You control the server, so you can tune the Linux operating system, configure connection pools, and optimize the network stack for your specific access patterns. When your application needs more capacity, you scale to a higher-tier server or add managed load balancers rather than waiting for a shared hosting provider to lift a resource cap.

Mission-critical workloads

Databases, analytics pipelines, and real-time data processing all qualify as mission-critical workloads where uninterrupted operation matters more than initial cost. A dedicated server with NVMe storage handles intensive read/write operations without the I/O contention you see on virtual machines in shared environments. The AMD EPYC 7702P plan, with 64 cores and NVMe storage, suits the most demanding workloads on the list.

Security and DDoS protection

Atlantic.Net includes a managed Security Firewall as an add-on, along with IDS (intrusion detection), DDoS protection, a Web Application Firewall, and CDN integration. DDoS attacks are a constant threat to publicly accessible servers, and having mitigation built into the network layer keeps your server online even when attack traffic spikes.

All plans include unlimited inbound bandwidth. Outbound transfer is 20TB per month on every plan. Free SSL certificates are available, and you can manage your own SSL certificates if you prefer to use an external certificate authority.

The data centers themselves are physically secured, with controlled access and environmental monitoring. Atlantic.Net holds SOC 2 Type II accreditation, which means independent auditors have reviewed the security controls across the infrastructure.

Full root access and custom configurations

Root access on a dedicated server means you control the entire software stack. You choose which packages to install, which services to run at boot, how to configure the firewall, and what monitoring agents to deploy. Custom configurations that shared hosting cannot support — custom kernel parameters, non-standard ports, specialist software dependencies — all become straightforward.

Atlantic.Net also offers custom builds if the standard server configurations do not match your requirements. If you need a specific CPU, a different RAM configuration, or a particular storage layout, the team will put together a configuration that works.

Server monitoring is available as a managed add-on for teams that want visibility into CPU, RAM, disk, and network metrics without building their own monitoring stack from scratch.

Linux vs Windows dedicated servers

Windows Server is the right choice if your applications depend on .NET Framework (not Core), IIS-specific features, or Microsoft middleware like Active Directory. For almost everything else, Linux dedicated hosting delivers the same or better performance at a lower total cost because you are not paying for a Windows Server licence.

Atlantic.Net Linux dedicated hosting

Atlantic.Net has operated since 1994. It is privately owned and profitable, which means decisions are made for the long term rather than for quarterly targets.

A few things distinguish Atlantic.Net from other Linux server hosting providers:

• The triple 100% SLA covers three separate guarantees: network uptime, hardware replacement, and infrastructure availability. Most providers offer a single uptime guarantee. Atlantic.Net's SLA commits to all three.
• Support is US-based, available 24/7/365, and operates in both English and Spanish. There is no offshore outsourcing. You reach the same team that manages the infrastructure. The support line is 866-618-3282.
• Five US data centers give you geographic options: New York (11 miles from Manhattan), San Francisco, Ashburn, VA, Dallas, TX, and Orlando, FL. You can place workloads close to your users or distribute them across data centers for redundancy.
• The compliance certifications — SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3 Type II, HIPAA, HITECH, and PCI-ready — cover the entire infrastructure, so your dedicated server inherits those certifications without additional audit work on your part.
• additional audit work on your part. Managed add-ons include backups, load balancers, CDN, Security Firewall, IDS, DDoS Protection, and Web Application Firewall. You can build out a complete hosting stack around your dedicated server without sourcing each component from a different provider.
