A fully managed dedicated server on genuine bare metal — the entire physical machine is yours, with zero administration headaches. Our experts handle security, updates, monitoring, and optimization while you focus on your business, all on MaxPanel, included free with every server.
Straightforward managed dedicated hosting: every server runs MaxPanel with the full Web Hosting feature set, plus dedicated bare-metal performance and full root access.
All Managed Dedicated Servers include: MaxPanel control panel, 24/7 monitoring, security updates, daily backups, and expert support.

Managed dedicated server pricing above is for the USA (Missouri) datacenter and is all-inclusive — management, MaxPanel, monitoring and daily backups are never billed as add-ons. Need a different spec? Custom configurations are available on request.
Your Managed Dedicated Server sits in Missouri — right in the centre of the United States. It's genuine bare metal server hosting: a central location that balances latency to both coasts on a 1Gbps unmetered network, while our team handles the day-to-day management.
A managed dedicated server is a single-tenant bare metal server where the hosting provider handles the administration for you — OS updates, security patching, 24/7 monitoring, firewall management, daily backups and performance tuning. You still get the entire physical machine and full root access; the day-to-day sysadmin work is simply our job, not yours.

The managed vs unmanaged dedicated server decision comes down to who does the sysadmin work. On an unmanaged dedicated server, we run the hardware and network while you handle everything on the machine — that's why it starts at $93/mo. On a managed dedicated server, our team takes on that work too, and you still keep a dedicated server with full root access.
An honest note on price: with fully managed server hosting elsewhere, server management services are often billed as an add-on on top of the machine. If you're comparing the best managed dedicated server options, check what management actually includes. At Cenmax, managed dedicated servers start at $186/mo with management, MaxPanel, daily backups and 24/7 monitoring already in the price — on genuine bare metal, not a virtual slice sold as dedicated.
Your Managed Dedicated server runs MaxPanel with the complete Web Hosting feature set — then extends it with single-tenant bare-metal hardware, full root access and dependable dedicated performance.
An entire physical server to yourself — no noisy neighbours, just consistent speed that's yours alone.
Intel Xeon & AMD EPYC processors, ECC memory and enterprise storage for maximum reliability.
Enterprise protection included by default — the same suite that ships with our Web Hosting.
Professional branded mailboxes, free for life, on any device you like.
Full control of your server, plus all the developer tooling you expect from MaxPanel.
Tier III/IV facilities on a 45 Tbps backbone, backed by a real uptime SLA.
Our team runs the server day to day so you can focus on your business.
The same fast control panel that powers our Web Hosting, with the full feature set included.
Real humans around the clock, plus a free migration to get you live.
We don't offer cPanel. Every managed dedicated server ships with MaxPanel, our cPanel alternative, included free — here's an honest picture of what that means for you.
cPanel is licensed per server and per account; MaxPanel isn't. The price on this page is the whole price — the control panel never shows up as a separate line item on your invoice.
Websites, email accounts, databases, DNS, free SSL, staging, WP-CLI and a web SSH terminal — the same panel that powers our Web Hosting, running on your own bare metal server.
We'd rather tell you upfront: if your workflow depends on cPanel itself, we're not the right fit. If you need the things a panel does — sites, mail, DNS — MaxPanel covers them.
Our managed service includes: 24/7 server monitoring, OS and security updates, firewall management, daily backups, performance optimization, and expert technical support. We handle all the server administration so you can focus on your business.
MaxPanel is the same modern control panel that powers our Web Hosting — included free with every managed dedicated server. You get the full hosting feature set: websites, email accounts, databases, DNS and more, through one fast, intuitive interface.
Managed dedicated servers are typically deployed within 24-48 hours. This includes hardware preparation, OS installation, control panel setup, security hardening, and initial configuration by our team.
Yes, you retain full root access to your server. While our team handles routine maintenance and security, you have complete control to install software, modify configurations, and manage your server as needed.
We perform automatic daily backups of your entire server. Backups are stored on separate infrastructure and retained for 7 days. You can request a restore at any time through support, or manage backups yourself via the control panel.
Yes, hardware upgrades are possible including RAM and storage. CPU upgrades may require migration to a different server. Our team handles all upgrade work with minimal downtime. Contact support to discuss your needs.
Absolutely! We welcome custom server configurations tailored to your specific requirements. Whether you need more RAM, additional storage, specific hardware, or unique software setups, contact us for a no-obligation quote. We'll work with you to design the perfect solution.
A managed dedicated server is a single-tenant bare metal server where the hosting provider handles the administration for you — OS updates, security patching, 24/7 monitoring, firewall management, daily backups and performance tuning.

It depends on your workload. A managed VPS shares a physical machine with other virtual servers, which keeps prices lower — our managed VPS plans start at $23/mo. A managed dedicated server gives you the entire bare metal machine: every CPU core, all the RAM and the full 1Gbps port are yours alone. If your traffic or database load has outgrown virtualized resources, dedicated hardware is worth it.
Every price on this page is all-inclusive: the bare metal server itself, the MaxPanel control panel, 24/7 monitoring, OS and security updates, daily backups with 7-day retention, free server migration and expert support. Management is never billed as an add-on. Plans start at $186/mo — and if you'd rather administer the server yourself, unmanaged dedicated servers start at $93/mo.
Enterprise hardware with expert management. Focus on your business, not servers.
