Older hardware, lower price Read from stock · live

Value dedicated servers on the hardware everyone else retired

This is cheap bare metal without an asterisk hiding under it: a whole physical server — every core, all the memory, all the disks, nobody else on the machine — from $59.46 a month for a full-size machine with real depth on the shelf, on an unmetered port, month to month, live about thirty minutes after payment. The hardware is a few enterprise generations old, we bought it when its lease ended, and that is the entire trick. There is no other trick.

The rates below are the order form's, read as this page loads. If you can see it, it is racked and it is that price.

The value rate card — whole machines, monthly, no contract
ClassWhat it isFrom /moAction
Cartridge server7 lines racked A complete small machine — its own port, its own management — for one job that runs forever. The cheapest way to own a whole computer on the internet, and the wrong buy for anything that grows. $18.00 see them ↓
Full-size server2 lines racked Proven single-processor Xeon machines with room for real memory and disks. $54.80 see them ↓
Dual-processor server3 lines racked Two sockets and a lot of memory channels, for the backup or virtualisation box that has to mirror something serious. $59.46 see them ↓

In every rate: unmetered port · IPv4 + IPv6 · hardware RAID · remote management · 33 operating systems, one click. The card stops at $100 — above it, the full range.

How can a whole server cost this little?

Because the machine’s expensive years happened to somebody else. These servers were leased new by companies with bigger budgets than yours; when the lease ran out they came back working, and we bought them outright at that moment’s price. They go into the racks we have run since 2004, next to everything else we sell, and the monthly figure is what the machine costs us to keep running, plus a margin — the same figure at renewal, with nothing metered on top.

When a line stops earning its rack space we retire it; we do not discount it and hope. And every machine passes our hardware scan before it is allowed onto the shelf at all, which is why the list further down only ever shows what we can hand you today.

What does the low price buy — and what does it leave out?

Everything that makes it a server. The saving comes off the age of the silicon and nowhere else, so the fittings stay the enterprise fittings — and the honest asterisks, all four of them, are printed on the receipt instead of hiding in a terms page.

Which jobs is this the right answer for?

The ones that do not run faster on faster hardware. We set these four up every week; each is listed with what it actually needs and what that starts at on today’s shelf.

Backup that waits

It sits there doing nothing, so nothing it does is slow

The second machine, kept in case the first one stops. What matters on the bad day is how recent the copy is and how fast traffic can be pointed at it — the processor barely comes into it. Make it cheap, and nobody ever cancels it in a budget round. Needs: the live machine’s memory and disk, in a different city.

$59.46+duals, today
Staging mirror

If the test server is quicker, the test is wrong

A test box exists to tell you what production will do. Quicker-than-production tells you good news that is not true, and you find out on Monday. Because we still stock the older generations, matching what you already run is usually possible — name your processor and we match it, or say plainly that we cannot.

$54.80+matched to yours
Per-core licences

The bill follows the cores, so buy fewer of them

Some databases and hypervisors charge for every core in the machine, and the licence outruns the server inside a year. You want few, quick cores — the one shape hosts with sixteen-core minimums cannot sell you. We keep four, six and eight core machines racked for exactly this.

$18.00+low-core lines
Small, forever

Some jobs are exactly the same size in five years

A second DNS box, a jump host, a VPN endpoint, a monitor that watches everything else. Never busy — it just has to be on, somewhere else, on hardware nobody shares. Paying for growth a job cannot have is the quietest money leak on an invoice.

What is on the shelf right now?

Everything below is racked, priced and thirty-ish minutes from running — 12 lines that start under $100, read from stock as this page loaded. The list is the order form, not a brochure of it.

What we kept racked

Proper servers, under $100 a month.

12 options in 5 locations, and all 411 of them are sitting in a rack right now. Stock and prices come straight out of our inventory every time this page loads, so what you see is what you get.

Small and cheap

7 options 300 in stock from $18.00 a month

Compact cartridge servers that cost less than a big VPS and still hand you the whole machine. Ideal when you have one job to run.

Everyday servers

2 options 2 in stock from $54.80 a month

One processor and plenty of headroom. This is what most sites, apps and databases actually need, and it is where most people start.

Serious workloads

3 options 109 in stock from $59.46 a month

Two processors and a lot more cores. Run virtual machines, a busy database, or a dozen sites at once without them fighting each other.

All prices are monthly and exclude VAT where it applies. Stock moves through the day, so this list is built fresh every time the page loads. Need something bigger than $100 a month? Browse the full range.

Is the port really unmetered?

Yes: nothing counts your traffic, in either direction, at any port speed. There is no allowance to exceed, no burst window, and no overage line on any invoice — the port is a flat monthly amount, on a ladder that runs to 100 Gbps.

The rest of the questions people ask us

In the order they come up.

So these are old servers?

Some of them are, and we would rather tell you here than have you work it out later. We buy business hardware when it comes off lease, we own the racks it goes into, and the saving is what you see on the price. It is not worn-out equipment: error-correcting memory, proper RAID, redundant power and remote management, on the same network and the same support team as everything else we sell.

How fast is one of these actually running?

A machine on the shelf is typically live about thirty minutes after payment clears — and the list above only shows what is racked, so if you can see it, that is the wait. A build we assemble for you is quoted with its own honest lead time on the custom page.

What happens when a part fails?

We hold spare parts for every line we sell and swap them ourselves — keeping the parts shelf stocked is half the reason we keep selling lines we know inside out. Every machine passes our hardware test before it reaches the shelf, and the enterprise fittings are there so one bad stick or one dead drive does not become your outage.

Is DDoS protection included?

No — and we would rather print that here than have you find it out mid-attack. We do not sell DDoS protection on any line. If what you run tends to attract attacks, put a scrubbing service or a CDN in front of the server; the port itself being unmetered means clean traffic is never what you are rationing.

Can I run a VPN on it? And torrents?

A VPN, yes — a small VPN endpoint is one of the four jobs this page is built around, and plenty of them run here. Torrents, no: they are against our terms of service on every line, and we would rather turn the order away in this paragraph than suspend the server later.

Should I not just get a VPS?

Below about $15 a month, honestly, yes — a small VPS is the right answer down there. At the same monthly money, the whole machine wins: nobody shares your cores, your disks or your port, so what you measure on day one is what you keep. That trade is this entire page.

When would this be the wrong thing to buy?

When the job really is waiting on the processor. Heavy video encoding, machine learning, and anything single-threaded where clock speed is the whole story. Tell us what the machine is for and we will say if this is not it — the same list carries current processors and the GPU servers sit on their own page, so there is nothing in it for us in selling you the wrong one.

Can I get something close to what I already run?

Usually, yes. Send us the processor model out of your current server and we will check it against what we keep on the shelf. Being able to answer that is most of the reason the older machines are still here.

How long can I keep it, and can I move up later?

Keep it for as long as the job needs it. We do not push anybody off a working server to make room for a newer one, and we hold spare parts for the machines we sell. Moving up later is simple: choose a bigger one, we get it ready, and you switch over when it suits you. Nothing is on a contract while you decide.
