Bare metal in Missouri, the heart of America

Your dedicated server sits in Missouri — right in the centre of the United States. Its central location balances latency to both coasts on a 1Gbps unmetered network. Serving an American audience? See our USA Dedicated Servers page for the full US picture.

  • Balanced latency coast to coastA central US location means low, even response times from both the East and West coasts.
  • Central US connectivityA heartland location keeps your hardware well-peered and close to the national backbone.
  • 1Gbps unmetered networkRaw, unshared bandwidth with generous unmetered transfer.
  • US data residencyYour data stays on US soil — ideal for American businesses and compliance needs.

Bare metal server vs VPS:
what's the difference?

A dedicated server vs VPS decision comes down to one thing: whether you share the hardware. A VPS is a virtual slice of a physical machine — you share CPU, disk, and network with other tenants. A bare metal server is the whole physical machine, exclusively yours, with no hypervisor layer between your OS and the hardware.

Choose bare metal if

  • You need consistent, unshared CPU and disk performance
  • Your workload saturates a full 1Gbps port
  • You want multiple IPv4 addresses on one machine
  • Compliance requires single-tenant hardware

Choose a VPS if

  • Your budget is under $93/mo
  • You want deployment in minutes, not hours
  • Your workload fits comfortably in a few cores
  • You want easy snapshots and rebuilds

Not sure you need the whole machine yet? Start with a KVM VPS and move to bare metal when you outgrow it.

Unmanaged,
on purpose

An unmanaged dedicated server is cheap for one honest reason: you do the sysadmin work, not us. No bundled support hours you never use, no control panel licence baked into the price. Here's exactly who handles what.

You handle

  • OS updates, patches & configuration
  • Software installation & tuning
  • Server security & firewall rules
  • Backups of your own data

Cenmax handles

  • Hardware health & replacement
  • Datacenter power & cooling
  • Network uptime & 1Gbps connectivity
  • IPv4 allocation & rDNS

Comfortable at a root shell? An unmanaged bare metal box is the cheapest dedicated server you can rent. Rather hand off the sysadmin work? See our Managed Dedicated Servers with MaxPanel included.

Affordable dedicated servers

Common
questions

A dedicated server is a physical server exclusively allocated to you. Unlike VPS or shared hosting, you don't share CPU, RAM, or storage with anyone else. This provides maximum performance, security, and control for demanding applications.

Yes. Every configuration is priced per month in USD, so you can rent a dedicated server on a monthly basis starting at $93/mo. The listed price is what you pay each month.

Standard configurations are deployed within 12-24 hours. This includes hardware preparation, OS installation, network configuration, and initial testing. Custom builds may take 24-72 hours depending on requirements.

We support all major Linux distributions including Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, Rocky Linux, and AlmaLinux. Windows Server is also available with proper licensing at an additional monthly cost.

Yes, all our dedicated servers include 1Gbps unmetered bandwidth. There are no bandwidth caps, no overage charges, and no throttling. Use as much bandwidth as you need for your applications.

Not on these plans. Unmanaged dedicated servers come as a bare OS with full root access, so you can install any panel you like. MaxPanel, our control panel, is included with Managed Dedicated Server plans.

The servers on this page are unmanaged, giving you full control. If you'd rather hand off OS updates, security, monitoring, and backups, our Managed Dedicated Servers bundle all of that plus MaxPanel for a higher monthly fee.

Yes, hardware upgrades are possible including RAM, storage, and additional IP addresses. CPU upgrades may require migration to a different server. Contact support to discuss your upgrade 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.
