Bare Metal Servers FAQs

What is a Bare Metal Server?

A Bare Metal Server is single-tenant physical server dedicated to a singular user (end-user, business, etc.). Unlike other types of web hosting, such as virtual private servers or shared hosting, the private dedicated server does not share resources. RAM, storage, processors and other resources are reserved to the single tenant. 

Also known as single-tenant server, it is an unmanaged dedicated server that is highly customizable or specifically built for a singular or dynamic purpose. Typically reserved for the highly technical end-user, such as a system administrator, developer or network engineer, the machines can be overseen by a team of technical experts via a managed service or managed dedicated hosting plan. This allows the customer the freedom to focus on other areas of business while the technical team oversees Bare Metal Servers setup, updates and more.


Why Use Bare Metal Servers?

Bare Metal Dedicated Servers are extremely useful for a variety of needs for all sizes of business and any industry. Typically Bare Metal Servers are used by businesses with the highest needs for customization, performance, and security. The Bare Metal Servers can be highly customized with hardware, operating systems, and settings for multiple users. Utilizing PHP, Magento, and Drupal on a dedicated bare metal server ensures dedicated resources for optimal performance, especially for resource-intensive eCommerce sites and complex web applications. While technical expertise is essential, the control and scalability offered make it a powerful choice for robust online platforms. Highly experienced users are able to set specific settings, firewalls and access the server and the data.

The need for storage has also grown with more information and data being collected which drives the need to have a highly custom machine storing the data securely.

On a final note, companies and business owners are taking advantage of the infrastructure platform to automate. The Bare Metal Server environment can be set up to run Kubernetes, Ansible or containers.


How is your network setup?

InMotion Hosting utilizes both Edge and Core routing to increase speed and redundancy. We use enterprise routers in all of our data centers and partner with Corero to defend against DDoS attacks that lead to unplanned server outages. We use multi-layer, high-performance switches. These switches layer several scripts and APIs to dynamically route traffic within the network based on demand, helping ensure you stay online. We also use dual high-performance fiber optic links from the ISP to the top of our racks. This provides lower latency and higher transfer rates. InMotion Hosting also provides extremely fast 1Gbps (1000Mbps) Ethernet uplink connections on all of our Dedicated Servers.
