Dedicated Servers in Perth, Australia

Bare-metal dedicated servers from our Dell R620 fleet in Osborne Park. Australian-owned, Australian-located hardware with sub-10ms latency for Perth-metro workloads.

Hosted on Green Racks infrastructure in Osborne Park, WA.

What you get

  • The whole physical machine — every core, every byte of RAM, every NVMe channel. No hypervisor neighbours.
  • Choice of Ubuntu LTS, Debian stable, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, or Windows Server, pre-imaged from our templates.
  • Out-of-band iDRAC access for power control, console, and ISO virtual media — useful when SSH is the problem you are trying to fix.
  • 10 GbE uplink, dedicated /29 IPv4 + /64 IPv6, plus reverse DNS you control.
  • Optional managed layer: OS patching, monitoring, log retention, and incident response by our engineers.
  • Daily backup-to-rack option, with retention to match your RPO target.

Server configurations

All builds are full-host Dell PowerEdge R620 systems — Xeon E5-26xx v2 sockets, ECC DDR3, hot-swap NVMe-capable bays. Custom mixes are available on request.

If “bare-metal server” is new terminology, the short version is: you are the only tenant on the physical machine.

How it works

From purchase order to ssh-into-it.

Provisioning

Standard configs ship inside one AWST business day. We image the chosen OS, hand you SSH or RDP credentials and iDRAC access, and confirm reachable IPv4 + IPv6.

Hardware

Dell PowerEdge R620 chassis. Xeon E5-26xx v2 sockets, ECC DDR3, NVMe-capable backplane, dual PSU into independent power feeds.

Network

10 GbE uplink per host into our internal fabric. Multi-homed transit, Telstra carrier handoff via Commscope termination, optional Cloudflare front-end.

Performance baseline

Dedicated hardware removes noisy-neighbour variability, so sustained CPU and disk throughput is stable. That same stability shows up in web-vitals metrics for any front-end you put in front of it.

Who this is for

High-throughput database hosts

Postgres or MySQL primary nodes that need predictable NVMe latency and full CPU access. The Memory-optimized build keeps working sets entirely in RAM.

Self-managed Kubernetes

Bare-metal worker nodes for a self-managed k3s or kubeadm cluster, with consistent per-pod performance and no cloud-vendor lock-in.

Single-tenant WordPress at scale

A high-traffic WordPress that has outgrown shared hosting tiers — same stack as our managed WordPress hosting, but on a dedicated host with no co-tenants.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can you provision a dedicated server?

Standard configurations from our R620 fleet are usually online within one business day in AWST. Custom builds — non-standard RAM, additional NVMe, or specific OS images — take 2 to 3 business days depending on parts on the shelf.

Can I choose my operating system?

Yes. We ship pre-built templates for Ubuntu LTS, Debian stable, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, and Windows Server. Bring-your-own ISO is supported via iDRAC virtual media for less common OS choices.

What hardware do you actually use?

The current fleet is Dell PowerEdge R620 — two-socket Intel Xeon E5 systems with up to 24 physical cores, up to 768 GB ECC RAM, NVMe-capable storage, and dual hot-swap PSUs. Hardware is named in our customer-facing material; we do not rebrand reseller stock.

Do you offer managed dedicated servers?

Yes, as an optional layer on top. The default is unmanaged: you get root or Administrator and we keep the hardware alive. Managed adds OS patching, monitoring, log retention, and incident response from our engineers.

How is this different from a cloud VM?

You get the entire physical machine — all cores, all RAM, all I/O — with no neighbours competing for the host. That makes a noticeable difference for sustained CPU work, NVMe-heavy databases, and any workload where p99 latency matters more than average. The trade-off is that scaling up means physical hardware changes, not an API call.

Can I upgrade my server later?

Yes. RAM, disk, and OS changes are scheduled during a maintenance window. Moving to a different chassis class — for example from a Standard to a Memory-optimized build — is handled as a migration with our engineers, usually completed in a single AWST evening.
