Bare metal that feels like cloud, from the company that owns the whole stack.

Serverside.com owns and runs the stack your server sits on: the hardware, the network (AS55285) and the console you manage it from. Owning all three is what lets us deploy bare metal in under a minute, rebuild from the API and hand you KVM in the browser, at a price with no reseller margin and no cloud tax. Available in 7 metros across the US and Europe, with DDoS protection and a 100% uptime SLA included.

Why we built it

Serverside.com grew out of Host Havoc, our sister company and the game-server host Clay Berndt has run since 2013. Game servers are an unforgiving workload: hundreds of machines reloaded around the clock, for players who leave the moment one stutters. Renting from other providers meant waiting behind their ticket queue every time something broke, so we racked our own hardware and built our own network and our own console. Host Havoc still runs on it today, and that platform is what you are buying.

What you get

Hardware

Yours alone

Dedicated bare metal, stock or built to your spec, never shared with another tenant.

Live in under a minute

Stock configurations are running in under a minute. Order, rebuild and reinstall yourself, at any hour, without raising a ticket.

Network

Two paths, direct routes

Every server has dual uplinks and more than one carrier behind it. In Amsterdam we also peer directly, at 6 internet exchanges, with the networks your European users are on.

DDoS protection from day one

Nothing to add to the cart, nothing to switch on, no invoice after an attack.

Console and people

One console, full control

Deploy, browser KVM, firewall rules and team roles from a single pane, or the API.

Engineers, not a first line

24/7, your ticket goes to the people who run the routers and the racks. Behind that is a 100% uptime SLA: if downtime is our fault, you are eligible for a credit of 5% of the monthly fee per hour, up to the whole month. Attacks and hardware or software failures are excluded.
