Dedicated Servers, built to your specification
Where a Cloud Server stops being the right shape, we build you the machine. Intel Xeon, ECC memory, NVMe or HDD, ready 14 business days from payment.
AS209179 · single-tenant hardware · root and out-of-band access
AFRICLOUD Dedicated Servers give you an entire physical machine, built to your specification in South Africa, Nigeria or Portugal and ready 14 business days from payment. Dell PowerEdge hardware with Intel Xeon processors, ECC memory and NVMe or HDD storage. Need to buy a Dedicated Server with Bitcoin? We accept 300+ cryptocurrencies alongside card and PayPal. Every server includes iDRAC remote management, edge firewall, DDoS protection and your choice of Linux OS template, and once it is live you run it yourself from the dashboard: power, reinstall, console and live telemetry. Dedicated Server hosting from a provider that owns its infrastructure.
When Bare Metal is the right move
The step up from your largest Cloud Server
Most customers arrive here because they have outgrown VM8, our largest Cloud Server, and want the next size rather than a different provider. Bare Metal is that next size: the same account, the same dashboard, the same support desk, on a machine built for you.
Single-tenant by definition
The hardware is yours alone, which is what regulated workloads usually need to demonstrate. Pair it with the region that matches your obligation: Lagos for Nigerian data, Johannesburg for South African data, Lisbon for the EU. Specific compliance requires individual legal assessment.
Economics at sustained load
At constant high utilisation, a dedicated machine gives you more work per pound than scaling Cloud Servers to match it. If your load is spiky, a Cloud Server is still the better buy, and we will tell you so.
Yours to run from day one
Once the build is handed over you manage it from the dashboard: power control, OS reinstall, remote console and live hardware telemetry. No ticket required for routine work.
Hardware RAID
Enterprise RAID controllers with battery-backed cache for data protection and performance. Configure RAID0, RAID1, RAID5, RAID10, or JBOD to match your workload requirements.
Edge Firewall & DDoS Protection
Every Dedicated Server is protected by an edge firewall, with DDoS mitigation received from our transit providers and passed through at no extra cost. Combined with SSH key injection and full audit trail logging.
Built For
High-Performance Databases
Run PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MongoDB on dedicated hardware for maximum IOPS and consistent latency. No virtualisation overhead means predictable performance.
- Consistent I/O performance
- Full NVMe bandwidth
- Consistent performance under sustained load
- Hardware RAID for data protection
Compute-Intensive Workloads
Video rendering, machine learning inference, scientific simulations, and compilation farms that need every cycle of processing power.
- Intel Xeon multi-core processors
- High-capacity ECC memory
- Full CPU frequency
- No hypervisor overhead
Compliance & Isolation
Workloads that must demonstrate physical hardware isolation. Single-tenant machines in the region your obligation points to. Specific compliance requires individual legal assessment.
- Physical hardware isolation
- Full disk encryption support
- SSH key injection
- Full audit trail logging
