Why Netrouting
Custom builds
In addition to choosing from a variety of pre-configured bare metal servers we also offer a range of fully customizable bare metal servers which can be configured from the ground up to meet any number of requirements. Whether you are in need of a high density NVMe storage solution, the ultimate high performance server with the greatest amount of compute power using the latest generation of processors including AMD EPYC, large storage servers with hundreds of terabytes of storage or even a large cluster of servers spread across all regions that we offer our team of experts are on hand to help design and provision your ideal server.
Workloads we power
Video Streaming
Another example of an online service which is being delivered in real time to huge audiences all over the globe is video streaming. The video is being stored on servers in huge cached files and therefore lots of storage space as well as a lot of bandwidth is required. Also video streaming is a mission critical online service and therefore it is very important that the service is as optimal as possible. Therefore bare metal servers are the ideal solution. Since bare metal servers provide a single layer of software on top of the server hardware, online services such as video streaming have direct access to the hardware of the server. As a result the highest levels of performance and the lowest levels of latency can be achieved.
Gaming Servers
Gaming servers handle a huge number of player actions in real time. Server Applications dealing with a large amount of data that need to have low latency and are required to maintain a constant level of performance are powered well by single tenant environments.
Website Hosting
Website Hosting: Most web sites are different and need to be hosted online. A Bare Metal Server allows for direct access to the server's hardware and provides reliable up-time for your hosted web site(s).
VPN Providers
VPN services are used for routing and security of traffic on the Internet. VPN workloads require high throughput, good storage performance and security. Bare metal servers offer several advantages to workloads such as VPN services.
Managed Hosting
Bare metal server technology supports Managed Hosting. However, it is also ideal for Private and Hybrid Cloud Computing environments and thus also supports these use cases. Managed Hosting: Managed hosting providers manage the infrastructure for their customers' environments. They require the ability to set up a variety of environments and need predictable performance.
Service Providers
Service providers and Internet services, are used to host customer facing platforms (Web sites, etc) as well as network intensive services for customers and bare metal hosting is very effective for service providers to support service level agreements, by limiting the resource allocation to a single application or service.
Bandwidth-Heavy Applications
Bandwidth-Heavy Applications such as high traffic websites, video and file sharing servers, and others that transfer large amounts of traffic, files, and videos on servers and in networks. Bare metal servers are ideal for these applications as they remove the overhead of virtualization to deliver the maximum possible bandwidth to applications.
Big Data Analytics and High-Performance Computing
Big Data Analytics & HPC (High Performance Computing) workloads are typically comprised of compute-intensive tasks and large data sets that are processed using fast storage and that benefit from the maximum possible amount of direct hardware access (i.e. without virtualization overhead). Companies are therefore building bare metal cloud environments, private cloud and hybrid cloud environments. Other workloads that are processed with very low latency, like high frequency trading, are also run on bare metal servers.Network control

We connect you to the Internet using network engineers (and not order takers) and hardware and infrastructure that is built to last, so we can pick up where you left off when you need us.
Common questions
Our Bare Metal Dedicated Servers are built with hardware from manufacturers such as Dell PowerEdge, Gigabyte and Supermicro. We do not offer Whitebox Servers in our Standard Range of Server Plans.
A bare metal dedicated server is a physical server, you rent the whole server and you can install whatever operating system you want. It is not shared with other users and it is not split into several virtual servers. You get the full server with its own hardware.
Volumetric floods (e.g. UDP, ICMP and TCP floods) as well as reflection/amplification attacks (e.g. DNS, NTP, memcached etc.) and protocol based attacks (e.g. SYN floods, ACK floods etc. as well as fragmentation and malformed packet attacks). We also absorb multi-vector attacks.
In case the incoming traffic load (DDoS attack) is bigger than the traffic that can be filtered by us, then the targeted IP will be black-holed.
Dedicated DDoS Protection is automatically enabled for all relevant services such as Cloud Compute, Colocation, Bare Metal servers and GPU servers. No activation is required. The protection starts as soon as the related resource goes online.
No, Netrouting DDoS Protection is a network-layer attack mitigation service, it is designed to protect against volumetric traffic attacks (so called floods) at network-layer (so called Layer 3/4). For application-layer attacks (so called Layer 7 attacks) like HTTP floods, slowloris, etc. you would use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or layer 7 packet processing, edge caching services like Cloudflare or Akamai.
A bare metal server is a physical server on which you can directly install your operating system and applications. The workload is run directly on the physical hardware as a physical server with dedicated resources - compute, memory, storage and network.
So for example on an 'unmetered' 10G port you would be able to run it at full 10G all day long without any problems. You won't get contacted by us about your 'unusual usage' and your port won't get shape trafficked in order to try and reduce your usage to try and charge you for 'overusage'. There are no 95th% billing and no overusage fees on our network. What you see is what you get.
As we said above, bare metal servers are running on physical hardware. These servers are NOT virtual servers which are hosted on a shared hosting infrastructure as other Virtual Private Servers. We offer our customers as bare metal customers complete access to the servers physical resources.
Our switch ports are not oversubscribed and every server uplink has its own dedicated port on the switch. The backbone of our network is a multi-Tbps, non-blocking edge network. The only thing that could possibly limit your line rate is the server's NIC itself. We can even test your line rate with an iperf test to a mirror server in our nearest PoP (e.g. mirror.ams1.netr.cloud for AMS1).
Bare metal hosting is server hosting where servers are used by only one customer. That means that the server is not a virtual server that is hosted on a shared server (or servers) and then divided up to create virtual servers. The main advantage of bare metal hosting is that you use all of the resources of the server to power your web site(s), email accounts, etc. Because of this, bare metal hosting generally provides the best performance for your web site(s) and email accounts.
Our Catalogue builds are generally provisioned in 4 hours for Netherlands locations such as The Hague and Amsterdam, and 24 hours or less in most locations worldwide. Non-catalogue servers typically take 5 to 10 business days to provision, depending on supplier lead times. We support provisioning of servers such as Dell PowerEdge servers, HPE ProLiant servers and many models from Supermicro for Bare Metal Server hosting. We do not offer whitebox servers for hosting purposes.
We would recommend bare metal servers for demanding applications, such as databases, online gaming, video streaming, web servers (especially large websites) and other high-performance servers that require dedicated resources to function optimally. They provide lower latency and more control over the hardware than cloud hosting.
Gaming / DDoS | Netrouting DDoS Protection - free, always-on service protecting all Netrouting infrastructure (Cloud Compute, Colocation, Bare Metal servers, GPU servers) from network-layer (L3/L4) DDoS attacks. No setup required.
24/7 Remote Hands Service is available at all of our staffed locations (The Hague, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Miami). Smaller locations will be serviced from the nearest staffed location within a 2 hour Service Level Agreement. The type of work that we can perform via Remote Hands Service includes but is not limited to standard cable swaps, reseating of failed hardware, troubleshooting via console port etc. Remote Hands work is included in the support agreement. Larger projects that require a full chassis swap or a full rack and stack of new hardware will be quoted on an hourly basis as outlined above.
Bare metal servers do not share physical resources and thus there is no additional overhead of the virtualization, which also affects performance in a very stable manner and creates low latency.
BYOIP / BYOASN: Yes we support it. Bring us the LOA for the IPv4 / IPv6 / ASN in question and we will announce your prefix from all our locations where you have servers. We are a member of RIPE, ARIN and APNIC and can handle the LOA paperwork for you. We also enable RPKI signing for your ROAs on our edge.
Bare Metal Servers are generally recommended for the most demanding Web Sites such as: video on demand, VPN servers, on line gaming servers, and others. Large on line databases, big data processing and other High Performance Computing (HPC) applications will also greatly benefit from Bare Metal Servers.
Server demanding fast storage, low latency and stable access to resources in general are very well suited for bare metal servers. Examples for such workloads are demanding database servers.
Every city page now includes the public test IP address for that location, as well as a link to 100 MB, 1 GB and 10 GB test files. You can download these files from the location nearest to you with curl or wget, or download them from your browser.
Big data and high-performance computing workloads are typical examples of very performance-oriented workloads. Big data processing workloads for example process large amounts of data. Therefore such workloads need a high throughput to process all data in a timely manner. Additionally the performance of big data processing workloads must be very predictable. This is because the throughput of such workloads is typically not very flexible. Bare metal servers are well suited for such workloads because they offer direct access to physical hardware. This means that there is no performance overhead caused by virtualization.
We support a huge range of operating systems. VyOS is the preferred operating system as it has been fully tested on our equipment. It is therefore recommended to use VyOS as your operating system of choice. Other fully supported Operating Systems are Proxmox, AlmaLinux and CentOS. We also support upload of ISO files to our VMware ESXi servers, this would then allow you to install your own preferred Operating System. In addition to VyOS and the other above-mentioned operating systems we also support Arch Linux, Rocky Linux, Debian, and Fedora.
