Dedicated Servers in Perth: the step up from VPS
When one workload needs the whole machine. A bare-metal Dell R620-class server in our Osborne Park data centre: every core, every gigabyte of RAM and every disk is yours. No hypervisor, no neighbours.
Hosted on Green Racks infrastructure in Osborne Park, WA. All prices monthly.
Where dedicated fits: VPS, then Dedicated, then Managed Colo
Most customers start on a Perth VPS. When a workload outgrows its slice, we move it to a dedicated server. When you would rather own the hardware, bring it in and we manage it for you in our racks.
Step 1: start here
Perth VPS
From $39/mo*
Your own slice of a server: guaranteed vCPU and RAM, full root access, daily backups.
Step 2: the upgrade · you are here
Dedicated Server
From $199/mo*
A whole physical Dell R620-class machine. No neighbours, every core is yours.
Step 3: your own kit
Managed Colocation
From $200/mo* per server
Bring your own hardware. We rack it, power it and manage it.
What you get
- The whole physical machine. No hypervisor layer and no noisy neighbours, so CPU and disk performance stay consistent.
- Dell PowerEdge R620-class hardware. Dual-socket Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2, ECC DDR3 memory and dual power supplies on our 2N UPS.
- Your choice of operating system. Ubuntu LTS, Debian, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux or Windows Server, pre-imaged from our templates. Windows Server licensing is available on request and billed separately.
- Out-of-band iDRAC access. Console, power control and virtual media, for when SSH is the thing that is broken.
- Dedicated IP addresses. IPv4 and IPv6 addresses available on request.
- Optional backups and management. Daily backups to our Proxmox Backup Server, plus OS patching and monitoring by our engineers if you want them.
Server configurations

Bandwidth sized to your workload: talk to us and we will match the plan to your use case. Exact CPU models vary by chassis and are confirmed when you order.
These are previous-generation Xeon E5 v2 (Ivy Bridge) servers: lots of cores and memory for the money, but per-core speed is well below current-generation CPUs.
All prices monthly, in AUD. Entry configuration from $199/month*. Internet connectivity is a dedicated 500/500 Mbps service today, with an upgrade in progress.
How it works
- Provisioning. We image your chosen OS and hand over credentials and iDRAC access. Lead time is confirmed when you order.
- Hardware. We own the server and hold spares, so a failed disk or power supply is our problem, not yours.
- Network. Each host connects to our internal switching fabric. Internet connectivity is a dedicated 500/500 Mbps service today, with an upgrade in progress.
- Facility. 2N UPS, N+1 precision cooling and NOVEC 1230 fire suppression in our Osborne Park data centre. On-site generator coming soon.
Who it is for

Single-tenant compliance
Workloads where clients or auditors prefer you are the only tenant on the hardware, in WA.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a VPS and a dedicated server?
A VPS is a guaranteed slice of a larger server, shared with other customers at the hardware level. A dedicated server is the whole machine, used only by you.
Can I move from a VPS to a dedicated server later?
Yes. That is the usual path. Tell us what you are running and we will size the dedicated server and plan the cutover with you.
Do you manage dedicated servers?
You can manage it yourself or add our managed layer.
Where is the server?
In our data centre in Osborne Park, Perth, Western Australia, operated by Green Racks, an Australian-owned company (ABN 23 696 631 071).
