What is a dedicated server?+
A dedicated server allocates a physical machine to one customer’s workloads. Its processor, memory and local storage are assigned to that server, while network and data-centre infrastructure can still be shared. Your quote defines the actual configuration and service.
How is dedicated hosting different from a VPS?+
A VPS provides a virtual server on a physical host. A dedicated server assigns the physical machine to your workloads. Choose according to application compatibility, capacity, control and operational requirements; a dedicated server is not automatically the best choice for every project.
Are these prices and availability confirmed in real time?+
No. This page is a reference configuration catalogue with indicative GBP prices, not a live inventory feed or checkout. Request a quote for the current specification, availability, recurring charge, setup fee, tax and billing currency. No server is reserved by browsing or selecting a configuration.
What does the estimated first invoice include?+
The estimate adds the listed monthly reference amount to the listed one-time setup fee. The recurring reference amount is shown separately. These GBP figures exclude VAT; applicable tax, configuration changes, billing currency and the final amount are confirmed in your quote.
Can I request a different CPU, RAM or storage configuration?+
Send your requirements with a quote request. The catalogue can help define a starting point; we assess alternative processors, memory, storage and networking according to availability. A requested configuration is confirmed only in the final proposal.
What does configurable NVMe mean?+
Some reference configurations do not specify a fixed storage allocation. Their drive count, capacity and redundancy layout must be agreed in the quote. A label such as configurable NVMe does not mean that unlimited storage or a particular drive set is included.
Which locations can I request?+
The reference catalogue lists London, Frankfurt and Gravelines according to the model. A listed region is a configuration reference rather than a current stock guarantee. Confirm the actual location, availability and any data-residency requirements before ordering.
Are root access, IPMI and operating-system installation included?+
Include your remote-console, root access and installation requirements in the request. Confirm the management interface, supported images, licence costs and network access arrangements for the chosen hardware. Compatibility with a particular Linux distribution, Windows edition or hypervisor should be checked before provisioning.
Who manages updates, security and backups?+
Agree who installs updates, monitors the system, responds to incidents and maintains backups. Renting hardware does not by itself define a managed application service. Set out any additional administration and recovery responsibilities in the proposal.
Does RAID replace backups?+
No. RAID can help protect against particular disk failures, depending on the configuration. It does not replace independent backups or protect against every deletion, corruption or security incident. Plan backup retention and testable restoration separately.
Is there a guaranteed setup time, uptime or support response?+
Provisioning timing, support coverage, network protection and any service-level commitments are agreed for the selected service. The reference catalogue does not establish a universal uptime percentage, delivery time or response guarantee.
How do I request a quote for a specific server?+
Choose Request this server on the configuration you want to discuss. The contact form receives its model reference, and the page language is preserved. Add your intended workload, capacity, location and operational needs. Sending an enquiry does not create an order or take payment.
