When the bottleneck is the network, not the server.

Most servers are sold on cores and memory, then quietly capped on transfer. These are built the other way round: high monthly allocations on fast ports, DDoS-protected as standard, for streaming, backup targets, CDN origins and anything that moves serious data.

  • Up to 10Gb/s network ports
  • Large transfer allocations
  • Always-on DDoS protection
  • Intel Xeon & AMD Ryzen

Built for the traffic, not just the workload.

A server with fast cores and a throttled connection is still a slow server. These builds start from the network: fast ports and large monthly transfer allocations, so the thing you are actually paying for is the ability to move data.

They suit streaming and media delivery, backup and archive targets, CDN origins, game servers and anything else where a standard transfer allowance runs out halfway through the month. Every one sits behind our always-on DDoS protection, in the same Coventry facility as the rest of our platform.

What people run on these

If your monthly transfer is the number you keep checking, one of these is usually the answer.

Streaming & media

Video and audio delivery burns transfer faster than anything else. A large allocation on a fast port keeps playback smooth at peak without a bill that moves every month.

Backup & archive targets

Offsite backup is all write, all night, and restores need to be fast when they matter. Port speed decides how long a full restore takes, which is the number that counts.

CDN & game servers

An origin serves every cache miss and a game server carries constant small packets. Both want headroom and low latency rather than raw core count.

Choose your operating system

A full set of Linux and Windows operating systems, installed and ready when your server is handed over. Versions listed are those still in support; if you need an older release for a legacy application, ask and we will tell you what is possible.

AlmaLinux 9, 10

The community-driven successor to CentOS Linux, binary compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This is what we recommend for cPanel, which officially supports it.

Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS, 24.04 LTS

Widely used and familiar to most developers, with long-term support releases maintained for five years. A safe default for application servers and container hosts.

Debian 12, 13

Stable, conservative and packaged for almost everything. Popular where predictability matters more than having the newest version of each component.

Rocky Linux 9, 10

Another Red Hat compatible rebuild, and a straightforward choice if your team already standardises on it. Note that cPanel has deprecated Rocky, so pair it with a different panel or none.

CentOS Stream 9, 10

The rolling upstream of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Suitable for self-managed and Plesk setups; for cPanel choose AlmaLinux instead, as cPanel does not support Stream.

FreeBSD 13, 14

A long-established Unix system with ZFS and jails built in, favoured for storage, networking and firewall roles.

Windows Server Standard 2019, 2022, 2025

For .NET, MSSQL, Active Directory or anything else that needs the Microsoft stack. Licensing is charged on top, from £5.00/month.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find the answers below, contact one of our friendly team

These servers are sold with a stated monthly transfer allocation rather than as an unmetered port, so you know exactly what you have bought. That is deliberate: an unmetered port with an unpublished fair-use policy tells you very little, whereas an allocation is a number you can plan against. Tell us the volume you expect and we will size it, and we will be upfront about what happens if you exceed it.

Overage is charged at 8p per GB excluding VAT (10p including VAT) rather than the connection being cut off or silently throttled. If you find yourself paying overage regularly, that is a sign the allocation is wrong, so talk to us and we will requote instead of letting it run.

A port speed is a ceiling, not a promise, and in practice the limit is usually somewhere else: the disks, the CPU handling encryption, single-stream TCP behaviour over long distances, or the far end. We would rather talk through your actual traffic pattern and specify hardware that can fill the port you are paying for than sell you a number that looks good on an invoice.

Streaming and media delivery, offsite backup and archive targets, CDN origins, game servers, and large dataset transfers. The common thread is that the network, not the processor, is the thing that runs out first. If your bottleneck is compute rather than transfer, a standard dedicated server is the better buy.

Yes, always-on DDoS protection is included at no cost on every service, with up to 200Gb/s of mitigation capacity and Layer 7 protection at our UK facility. It is designed to separate attack traffic from real visitors, so legitimate high throughput is exactly what it is built to let through.

Custom builds are typically racked within one to four business days, depending on stock and how much configuration is involved, and we keep you updated as it progresses. If you have a deadline, say so when you enquire and we will tell you honestly whether we can meet it.

In our partner data centre in Coventry, the same UK facility our own platform runs from, with N+1 UPS protection, diesel generator backup and 24/7/365 onsite staff. You can read more on our Coventry data centre page.

Yes. Take them unmanaged and administer them yourself, or add server management and our team handles the control panel, firewall, patching and backups. High bandwidth changes the network specification, not the management options.

Tell us how much you need to move.

Give us the monthly transfer, the peak throughput and what you are serving, and we will come back with a build and a price. If a standard server would do the job, we will tell you that instead.
