More about Root Dedicated Servers & CloudVMs
Root Dedicated Servers
Our root dedicated servers are physical, bare-metal servers that provide you with full root access, granting complete administrative control over the server’s operating system, software, and configurations, making them ideal for users with advanced server management expertise and require highly customizable environments. Each server is pre-installed with Ubuntu LTS, providing a stable and secure operating environment.

With defined resources, you can rely on consistent performance, and the option to flexibly upgrade hardware ensures your server can grow with your needs, thus ensuring scalability. We take care of the most important aspects of hardware management and ensure that your server remains in peak condition. Our 24/7 hotline is also available to provide support when needed – additional costs may apply.
CloudVMs
