How your server reaches you

What happens after you order

You order in the shop. We find or build the machine, put it in a rack and install it. Below is how that goes, using the screens from our own portal.

01

You configure it in the shop

On shop.netrouting.com you pick a city first, then memory, disks, bandwidth and IP space. Prices are shown per option, per month. You only need an account when you check out.

Bandwidth is a setting on the switch port. If you start on 10G with 100 TB and later want 20G unmetered, we change the port and the server stays where it is.

The product page in the shop. Prices update the summary as you choose.

02

Ready now or custom built

Ready now125 ready now

These are already in a rack in that city and have been tested. Once you've paid, we assign one to you and install the OS you picked.

We take that number from the shop's inventory. It's how many are free right now.

Custom build

Custom is for configurations we do not have ready: extra memory, other disks, a RAID or ZFS layout. Our engineers build and burn in the server, which takes longer than a stock machine.

The product page says which one applies to yours.

03

You can watch it happen

In Amóni you see each server go from payment to install. The IP address is there as soon as a machine has been assigned.

No need to keep the tab open, we email you the address and root login when it's done.

After hand-over

A lot of what used to mean writing to support, you now do yourself in Amóni.

  • Remote console over KVM or IPMI in the browser, down to the BIOS and boot menu.
  • Reinstall or rescue without opening a ticket.
  • Bandwidth graphs with the 95th percentile and the monthly total.
  • Set reverse DNS yourself, for IPv4 and IPv6.

The people behind it

Engineers who know your rack

Our network and datacenter team is in The Hague, at DFDC THG1, which is also our European head office. Every site is run from there. When a disk has to be swapped or your BGP session set up, it's done by the people who built the network.

Network and add-ons

Your IP space, our network

Anything on this list can go on an Edge server or bigger, either when you order or later on. Express machines are the exception, they come as they are. The prices here are pulled from the shop.

Unmetered, up to 40G

Edge Pro and higher get a 10G port with 100 TB outbound per month, Edge gets 1G, and inbound traffic is free on all of them. If you'd rather not count at all, take an unmetered port. That capacity is reserved for you and we don't throttle it.

At 40G it's either four 10G ports bonded with LACP or one 40G QSFP port, depending on the rack. We'll tell you which one you get.

PortTrafficPer month
10G 100 TB Included
1G Unmetered +€100
2G Unmetered +€200
5G Unmetered +€400
10G Unmetered +€600
20G Unmetered +€1,000
40G Unmetered, 4×10G bonded or 1×40G +€2,000

Private VLAN

Free

For two or more servers in the same datacenter. Replication and database traffic go over the VLAN and stay off your public port.

More IPv4

from +€16

You get one static IPv4 address with the server. Need more, add a block: anything from a /29 (5 usable) to a /26 (61 usable). Reverse DNS for those is yours to set.

IPv6 /64

Free

A /64 for every server.

Bring your own IPs

€25/mo

We can announce your own /24 or larger from our network. You send the LOA, we check it, then the announcement goes live.

Your ASN, your BGP

€25/mo

With your own ASN you can run BGP sessions with our routers. After you open a ticket we create the IRR objects and set the sessions up, which normally takes one business day.

DDoS protection

20 Gbps included

There's 20 Gbps of DDoS protection on every server. Premium takes that to 50 Gbps for +€50 a month.

Rather not run it yourself?

Our engineers can manage the software for you as well, and you reach them through the same ticket queue you use for hardware.

Basic Managed

€50/mo

We patch the OS and set up monitoring for you. When an alert fires we're usually already working on it before you'd have noticed anything. It's covered by the Netrouting Guarantee.

Proxmox VE, managed

€100/mo

We take care of the hypervisor itself, on one host or on a cluster with Ceph distributed storage, and you keep running your own VMs on top.

cPanel / WHM, managed

On request

We supply the cPanel license and manage the server. The license is billed on top, so ask us for a quote.

Added in the shop, managed in Amóni

You pick add-ons on the product page when you order. After that your IP blocks and reverse DNS are in Amóni, right next to the console.

Why unmetered

The bill is the same number every month

Predictable cost. Peak traffic survives. No 95th-percentile gotchas.

  • Predictable monthly cost No per-GB egress fees. No "first 10 TB free, then $0.09/GB" gotcha. Your bill in March equals your bill in November.
  • Peak traffic survives Game launch day, viral video, big software release, your servers don't get throttled and you don't get a surprise invoice the next month.
  • Scalable to 100G 1G unmetered base on every plan. Need more? Burst to 10G, 25G, or 100G uplinks on request, same predictable-monthly model.

Built for

Workloads that eat bandwidth for breakfast

  • CDN origin Origin shield for Cloudflare, Fastly, BunnyCDN. Cache misses don't blow up your transfer bill.
  • Video streaming Live encoder hosts, transcoding farms, VOD origins. Predictable cost-per-stream economics.
  • Gaming backends Dedicated game servers, matchmaking, voice. Tournament weekends don't break the budget.
  • Public mirrors Linux distro mirrors, package archives, public datasets. The internet downloads, your invoice doesn't grow.

Common questions

Unmetered Bare Metal FAQ

  • What is your hardware sourcing?

    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.

  • What is a bare metal dedicated server?

    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.

  • Which types of attacks does Netrouting DDoS Protection block automatically?

    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.

  • What happens if a DDoS attack exceeds our mitigation capacity?

    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.

  • Do I need to enable Netrouting DDoS Protection?

    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.

  • Does Netrouting DDoS Protection cover application-layer (Layer 7) attacks?

    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.

  • How does a bare metal server work?

    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.

  • When you say a bare-metal server is "unmetered", does that mean truly dedicated bandwidth?

    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.

  • What does “bare metal” mean in hosting?

    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.

  • Will my 10G port actually push 10G, or is it shared at the switch level?

    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).

  • What is the difference between bare metal and VPS hosting?

    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.

  • How long does it take to set up a custom bare metal server against non spec'd servers listed in the catalog?

    Our Catalog 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-catalog 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.

  • When would you recommend Bare Metal Servers over Cloud Servers and why?

    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.

  • What is Netrouting DDoS Protection

    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.

  • Do you offer remote-hands, and what's the response time?

    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.

  • Why bare metal servers offer more consistent performance than virtualized hosting servers?

    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 and bare metal hosting?

    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.

  • What workloads are best suited for bare metal servers?

    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.

  • Why is bare metal a strong choice for database workloads?

    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.

  • How do I test the network speed from my location?

    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.

  • Why is bare metal used for big data and high-performance computing?

    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.

  • Which operating systems do you support?

    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.
