This is not a typical dedicated server. It's your server team and your hardware.
We source the hardware, rack it, secure it, monitor it and operate it 24/7. You get bare-metal performance with zero server management on your side.
- Save 20+ hours every month you'd lose to ops and hardware work.
- Sleep through patch nights, RAID rebuilds and security alerts.
- Launch in days, not weeks, on hand-tuned single-tenant hardware.
- One predictable monthly bill. No surprise cloud invoices.
- Never explain a hardware outage to a client again.
What a managed dedicated server actually replaces.
Cheap unmanaged providers sell you a chassis and an IPMI login. We sell you the outcome: a server that runs, stays patched, and never wakes you up.
A €60 unmanaged box is cheap until you count your own hours, the cost of one bad outage, or the day a RAID controller dies on a Sunday morning.
Built for teams who need bare metal, not bare metal admin.
SaaS and platform teams
You need raw performance and predictable cost, but not another sysadmin headcount. We're the headcount.
Agencies and hosting resellers
Consolidate dozens of client workloads on isolated, fully managed bare metal, on one predictable bill.
Regulated and EU-sovereign workloads
Single-tenant hardware in EU Tier III facilities, GDPR-native, outside US jurisdiction. We handle the ops.
Not for engineers who want to spec, rack and operate their own hardware. If that's you, an unmanaged provider will be cheaper, and we'll happily recommend one.
One price. Hardware and team included.
Every plan is fully managed by senior Linux engineers, on single-tenant hardware in Tier III facilities in Tallinn and Amsterdam.

Common questions
Why is this more expensive than a bare-metal box from Hetzner or OVH?
Because those are unmanaged. You get a server and an IPMI login. With Hostander, you also get the engineers who would normally rack it, secure it, patch it, monitor it and replace failing parts at 3 a.m. The hardware is a small part of the price, the team is the rest.
How fast can a dedicated server be deployed?
Stock configurations: 24-48 hours. Custom builds with sourced hardware: typically 5-7 business days, sometimes faster.
Can I bring my own OS or hypervisor?
Yes. We support any Linux distribution, Windows Server, Proxmox, VMware, OpenStack and bare Kubernetes installs, and we'll manage them for you.
What happens if hardware fails?
Our NOC detects failures before you do. Spare components are kept on-site at both locations and we replace failed parts within hours, often without service interruption thanks to RAID and HA designs.
Can I customise the hardware beyond the listed plans?
Absolutely, every dedicated server is essentially custom. Tell us your CPU, RAM, NVMe, GPU, NIC and RAID requirements and we'll source, rack and tune it for you.
Do you offer GPU servers for AI / ML workloads?
Yes. We deploy NVIDIA L4, L40S, A100 and H100 configurations on request, with appropriate cooling and power. Single-GPU and multi-GPU builds are both supported.
How does private networking between servers work?
Every dedicated server can join a free 10G private VLAN. You can connect multiple servers within a rack, across racks, or even between Tallinn and Amsterdam over our private backbone.
What kind of remote hands support do you offer?
Standard remote hands (reboots, cable swaps, KVM access, simple part replacements) is included. Complex interventions like rebuilds or hardware migrations are scheduled with a senior engineer, usually within hours.
Are dedicated servers fully managed too?
Yes, same model as our VPS. We patch the OS, harden it, run monitoring and backups, and respond to incidents 24/7. You can also opt for unmanaged if you want only the hardware.
What's the contract length and cancellation policy?
Monthly contracts with no minimum term. Annual prepayment unlocks a discount. Cancel any time with 30 days' notice, we'll help offboard your data.
Is the hardware sourced and hosted in Europe?
Yes. All servers are racked in the Tier III data centers we use in Tallinn and Amsterdam, and operated by EU staff under EU jurisdiction. Hostander is independent of US hyperscalers, no AWS, Google Cloud or Azure under the hood.
Still comparing us to a €60 unmanaged box?
Tell us what you're running today. We'll tell you, honestly, whether managed dedicated is worth it for your case, and which build fits.
