Since 2004 in New York · Miami · San Francisco · Amsterdam · Bucharest

Your own dedicated server provider since 2004.The whole machine, live in minutes.

Rent a physical server by the month in New York, Miami, San Francisco, Amsterdam or Bucharest. These rooms are ours, and so is the network, AS19624. One tenant per machine, an unmetered port on each, and engineers awake around the clock.

  1. The door

    We own the racks and the network under them.

    Every box in this room was bought, racked and wired by Server Room, the trading name of Data Room, Inc. of Long Island City, New York, with Data Room SRL in Bucharest. We announce our own address space from AS19624, so no reseller sits between your server and the internet, and anyone can check who holds that number in under a minute.

  2. The rack

    One machine, one tenant, and the root password is yours alone.

    You rent the whole box, not a slice of somebody else’s. Your operating system, your disks, and nobody else’s work on them. 33 operating systems install in one click: Ubuntu 14.04 to 26.04, Debian or AlmaLinux, Windows Server 2008 R2 to 2025, Proxmox VE 9 and VMware vSphere Hypervisor.

  3. The port

    Nothing here counts your traffic.

    Every server comes with an unmetered port: 1 Gbps as standard, up to 100 Gbps if you want it. There is no transfer allowance and no overage line on the invoice. You pick the port speed once, and that is the bill.

  4. The crash cart, 3 a.m.

    You can always reach your machine.

    A hung kernel or a firewall rule that locked you out is a console login here, not a ticket. Every dedicated server has an out-of-band controller: the console before the operating system boots, virtual media, power and sensors. Our engineers are awake 24/7, and the SLA credits you once downtime passes 15 minutes.

Server rental, four steps

How you rent a server here

  1. Choose. Take a machine already racked, or describe one and we build it.
  2. Approval. We verify the payment. That usually takes around two hours, but about one order in ten takes a few days, so order early if your date is fixed.
  3. Delivery. A racked server is yours about 30 minutes after approval. A custom build takes 4 to 24 hours.
  4. Run it. You get root, the out-of-band console and the control panel. The term is monthly: leave at the end of any month.

The monthly price you sign up at is the price you renew at: no introductory rate, no step-up later. The one exception is a ready server’s discount, which covers the first month only; from the second invoice it bills its list price.

Paying three, six or twelve months ahead costs less than paying monthly. A ready server ordered as it stands has no setup fee; any other configuration carries a one-time setup fee, shown on the order page before you pay. Every plan is on the pricing page.

Moving a live server from another host? We plan the move with you at no charge, and the migration page sets out the cutover step by step. Still comparing providers? The comparisons put us side by side with the hosts you are likely reading about.

Pick one

Describe the job and we point out a machine.

Tell the panel what the server will do, not which parts it needs. It answers with the shape of machine that fits and, if one is in stock right now, that exact server. The drawing rebuilds as you go.

  • Management port
  • Unmetered ports
  • Drive bays, yours

A drawing, not a photo. It rebuilds to match what you choose beneath it.

What will it do? The job, not the spec
How busy, roughly?
Where are its users? Skip if unsure

That is roughly a 1-socket machine with 32 GB of memory and NVMe storage, on an unmetered port.

Closest server in stock right now

A suggestion from live stock, not a quote. The next page shows the price beside this server’s exact specification. You pay by card, PayPal or bank transfer. Everything that is in stock.

Still in service

Old hardware stays on sale here, on purpose.

A warm standby spends most of its life idle. A staging box has to match production, and faster hardware gives you the wrong numbers. Software licensed per core costs less on fewer, faster cores. A DNS secondary or a jump host should be small, cheap and permanent. Each of these runs well on a processor that other hosts have retired, so we keep those machines on the price list.

Latency

Five data center cities, timed live in your browser.

The figures below are round trips from your connection to every city, measured while you read this page, with the nearest marked. Until a measurement arrives, the dash stays: no estimate is shown in its place.

Each city’s facility, carriers and peering are found on the data centers page.

Support

An AI chat that answers in seconds. A person when you ask, even at 3 in the morning.

Open the chat at any hour and the answer comes back in seconds. It can check your account and your servers: describe the problem in your own words, and it reads the logs, finds the cause and tells you what it found before it changes anything. It asks before it signs in, one of our engineers approves each change, and you can ask for a person at any point, 24/7.

Answers

Questions people ask before renting a server here

What does a dedicated server provider actually do?

It rents you a whole physical server in its data center, so every core, all the memory and every disk work only for you. Server Room has done this since 2004, on machines and a network of our own, in New York, Miami, San Francisco, Amsterdam and Bucharest.

How do you rent a dedicated server?

Pick a server that is in stock or describe the one you want, then order it. Once the payment is approved a racked server is live in about 30 minutes; a custom build takes 4 to 24 hours. You get root access, an out-of-band console and a control panel.

How much does a server cost to rent?

It depends on the machine, so each price sits beside the specification it belongs to. The pricing page lists every plan, and the ready servers page shows what is in stock at its live price. Paying three, six or twelve months ahead costs less than paying monthly.

Is the server rental monthly, or is there a contract?

Monthly. You can leave at the end of any month, and the list price does not step up at renewal; a ready-server discount is for the first month only. Longer terms are optional, and they only lower the price.

What is the real difference between a dedicated server and a virtual server?

A dedicated server is a whole physical machine for one customer. A virtual server is a share of a physical machine, divided by a hypervisor. Ours run on KVM under OpenStack in New York. Pick a virtual server for a small or short-lived job, and a dedicated server when the work needs steady performance, its own disks or a GPU.

Do you offer a CDN?

Yes. We run a managed video CDN for live streams, and the paid plans add a library for video on demand. The CDN page lists every plan and what each one includes.

Is your dedicated server hosting truly bare metal?

Yes. Nothing sits between your operating system and the hardware unless you install it yourself, for example Proxmox VE or VMware vSphere Hypervisor, both available in one click.

Is the bandwidth unmetered at every speed?

Yes. Each server has an unmetered port, 1 Gbps standard and up to 100 Gbps. There is no transfer allowance and no overage charge at any port speed.

Which cities are your five data centers in?

New York, Miami and San Francisco in the United States, and Amsterdam and Bucharest in Europe. Every one runs on our own network, AS19624.

How does the support work?

Start in the chat. Our AI assistant answers in seconds, at any hour, and can check your account and your servers. Ask for a person at any point and one of our engineers takes over. The SLA credits you once downtime passes 15 minutes.

Who is behind Server Room?

Server Room is the trading name of Data Room, Inc. of Long Island City, New York, with Data Room SRL in Bucharest, Romania. We have hosted servers since 2004.
