Tell us what you plan to run and how you expect the environment to grow. We’ll help you select an available server or define a custom configuration around your requirements.
Scale Out

Grow your general-purpose infrastructure across multiple servers

Expand capacity by adding dedicated nodes and connecting them into a larger environment as your requirements grow.

Add Server Nodes

Scale horizontally by adding dedicated servers without rebuilding the existing environment.

Private Server Networks

Connect servers over customer-specific VLANs for traffic between nodes and services.

Aggregated Cluster Bandwidth

Public egress aggregates across the servers in a cluster as you add nodes.

Infrastructure Resilience

Enterprise hardware for long-running applications

Our general-purpose servers use enterprise-level components selected for sustained production workloads. Advanced Hosting manages the physical lifecycle of that equipment, from component coverage to hands-on replacement if issues occur.

Built into the physical layer

Enterprise-grade server hardware
Vendor-backed component warranties
Readily available replacement hardware
Diagnostics and physical replacement handled
Server Control

Manage your server down to the hardware layer

Access the underlying system directly for routine administration, operating system changes, and troubleshooting.

KVM Access
Connect to the server console remotely for installation, configuration, and troubleshooting.
OS Installation
Install or reinstall the operating system directly through your server management tools.
Remote Hardware Management
Use IPMI or iDRAC to manage power and access the server independently of the operating system.
Networking

Connect your server for public and private traffic

General-purpose deployments can combine internet-facing connectivity with private network capacity for communication between infrastructure components.
Public network
Guaranteed channel width regardless of traffic consumption
DDoS protection included up to 10 Gbps per IP

Our Process

From requirements to a production-ready server

01

Define the configuration

We configure the server around your workload, performance targets, and scaling expectations.

02

Prepare and test

The server is assembled, internally validated, and tested for power, thermal, and network readiness.

03

Deploy to production

We wire and connect the server, then prepare it for production with access and monitoring configured.

04

Maintain the infrastructure

Our team handles hardware checks, upgrades, reboots, replacements, and on-site work.

BY THE NUMBERS

Dedicated servers backed by proven infrastructure experience

Advanced Hosting operates dedicated infrastructure at scale, combining long-term server operations experience with the network and data center capabilities required to support production environments.

6,000+ managed servers

Dedicated infrastructure already operated across thousands of physical servers.

20+ years of experience

Experience spanning server infrastructure, networking, routing, and high-load environments.

24/7 Remote Hands

On-site engineers available for physical infrastructure work when required.

Ongoing Guidance

Keep your infrastructure aligned as requirements change

Your server requirements can evolve after deployment. Advanced Hosting stays involved and flags infrastructure changes worth considering as your environment develops.

 

We proactively identify opportunities to improve:

Stability

when changes to the setup could make the environment more reliable.

Performance

when the infrastructure can be adjusted to better support the workload.

Cost

when there is an opportunity to run the environment more efficiently.

Stop Paying for Hype. When Older Servers Make Much Better Business Sense 

Most enterprise on-premises servers operate at just 12% to 18% of capacity on average. Buying new-generation compute platforms for routine workloads often delivers diminishing returns. Certified previous-generation hardware can meet those needs at a much lower CapEx – sometimes up to 70% lower. At the same time, enterprise hardware spending is rising far faster than […]

Why Is Everyone Talking About Cloud Repatriation in 2026?

Cloud repatriation is the process of moving your digital assets – such as apps, data, and software – out of a public cloud, like AWS or Microsoft Azure, and bringing them to private servers, data centers, or alternative hosting environments. Why do you keep hearing about it now? A few reasons. One, public cloud gained […]

FAQ

Answering All Your Questions

What is a general-purpose dedicated server?

A general-purpose dedicated server provides a balanced combination of processing power, memory, storage, and networking for applications that do not depend heavily on one specific infrastructure resource. It runs on dedicated physical hardware reserved for your environment.

What workloads are general-purpose dedicated servers suitable for?

They are suitable for web hosting, application hosting, private cloud and hybrid environments, custom platforms, and other workloads that need dedicated infrastructure without unusually high compute, storage, bandwidth, or latency requirements.

Are Advanced Hosting general-purpose servers bare metal?

Yes. Advanced Hosting dedicated servers run directly on physical hardware, with no virtualization layer installed by default.

Can I choose a ready-to-deploy server?

Yes. Advanced Hosting offers ready-to-deploy configurations with defined CPU, RAM, storage, traffic allowance, and pricing.

Can I customize the server configuration?

Yes. CPU, RAM, storage, and networking can be configured around your workload and infrastructure requirements.

Can I scale beyond a single server?

Yes. You can add dedicated server nodes as your environment grows and connect them through private networks. Public egress can also be aggregated across servers in a cluster.

Can dedicated servers communicate over a private network?

Yes. Servers can be connected through customer-specific VLANs, with private connectivity available on demand.

What public and private network capacity is available?

Public connectivity is available up to 100 Gbps, while private connectivity can scale up to 400 Gbps on demand.

Is private network traffic metered?

No. Traffic within the private network is unmetered and included.

Can I manage the server at the hardware level?

Yes. Direct IPMI or iDRAC and KVM access is available for remote power management, OS installation, and troubleshooting.

What happens after I choose a server configuration?

Advanced Hosting prepares and validates the hardware, deploys it into production, configures access and monitoring, and handles ongoing physical maintenance and replacement work.

What happens if the hardware fails?

Advanced Hosting handles diagnostics, replacement, and on-site work, with replacement hardware available and Remote Hands support for physical infrastructure tasks.

When should I choose a specialized dedicated server instead?

A specialized configuration may be a better fit when one requirement dominates the workload—for example, CPU-intensive processing, high-capacity storage, very high network throughput, or latency-sensitive applications. Advanced Hosting offers dedicated server configurations designed around each of these requirements.
