We rent hardware and carry traffic.
That is the entire pitch.
IsBareMetal is the unmanaged side of HostiServer, which has been running servers since 2011. Same people, same facilities, different deal: here you get the machine and the port, and nobody stands between you and either of them.
Two products that need opposite promises.
Managed hosting sells responsibility: someone patches your OS, tunes your database and answers at 2am when your application misbehaves. That work is real, it costs real money, and its price is built into every invoice.
Unmanaged sells capacity. You know what you are doing, you would rather not pay for hand-holding you will never call, and you want the port at line rate without a meter running. Selling both under one name means one of them is always misrepresented — so we split them.
Where our job ends, stated before you buy.
Most hosting arguments are boundary arguments. Here is ours, in advance, so there is nothing to argue about later.
- the building, the power and the cooling
- the network and the port you sit on
- the hardware, and replacing it when it fails
- the addresses assigned to your machine
- out-of-band access, so you can fix your own mistakes at 3am
- the operating system and every package on it
- your firewall, your kernel, your tuning
- your application, your database, your containers
- your backups — we do not keep a copy
- what your traffic is, and that it stays legal
Need the right-hand column handled by someone else? HostiServer sells exactly that, separately and optionally. We will hand you over rather than quietly bill you for it.
Four rules we do not bend.
Unmetered means unmetered.
No monthly allowance, no per-gigabyte overage, no 95th-percentile billing, no fair-use clause that reintroduces a limit in the small print. Ports of 1, 10, 100 Gbps, at line rate, for as many hours as the month has. It is written into section 3 of the terms, not just onto the pricing page.
Lawful use, and we mean it.
We do not police what you build, and a saturated port will never be treated as suspicious. What we do not host is crime: attacks, fraud, malware, spam, illegal content. Abuse reports get read and forwarded, and we expect you to answer them.
No numbers we cannot stand behind.
You will not find an uptime percentage on this site, because a percentage without a measurement method and a credit schedule is decoration. You will not find invented capacity figures or testimonials either. What is here can be checked against the invoice and the machine.
The price is the price.
Flat monthly billing, no metered extras bolted on afterwards, and thirty days’ notice before any price change. Your existing term is never repriced in the middle.
