Somebody has to own
the hardware.We do.

Server Room buys the machines, runs the network they sit on, and rents them to you whole, from five regions we operate ourselves, on our own autonomous system — AS19624, announcing our own address space. Hosting since 2004.

  • Out-of-band controller
  • Unmetered port
  • Drive bays, all yours

Drawn, not photographed — and it rebuilds itself to match whatever you describe below.

What you are renting

One machine. One tenant. The root password.

Not a slice of somebody else’s server with a share of its memory and a promise about the rest. A physical machine in a rack, in a building, with your operating system on it and nobody else’s work competing for its disks. Whatever it does at three in the morning, it is doing for you.

That is the whole difference, and everything below follows from it: the port is yours so nothing counts your traffic, the controller is yours so you are never locked out, and the price is yours because nothing about it depends on how busy the machine next to it happens to be.

Roughly what it costs

Describe the job. We will find the machine.

Not the processor, not the core count — the work. The panel answers with the shape of machine that work belongs on, and, if one is on the shelf at this moment, that exact machine at that exact price.

What is it? — the job, not the parts
How much of it at once?
Where are the people using it? — optional

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

Closest machine on the shelf right now

An estimate from live stock, not a quote — the machine named above is the one the price belongs to. Every plan and price · everything racked.

The bill

The price does not move.

No setup fee on a standard build. No introductory rate that expires in three months. No renewal step-up. The figure you sign up on is the figure you keep, and the only thing that changes it is choosing to pay up front — three, six or twelve months each cost less than paying monthly.

And nothing counts your traffic. There is no allowance to exceed and no overage line on the invoice, at any port speed from 1 Gbps to 100 Gbps. Capacity is a decision you make once at the start, not a number you discover at the end of the month.

When it goes wrong

You are never locked out of your own machine.

A hung kernel. A bad line in fstab. A firewall rule that shut the door behind you. On somebody else’s virtual machine every one of those is a support ticket and a wait. Here it is a login: every dedicated server has an out-of-band controller, and it is yours.

A console that works before the operating system boots, virtual media so you can mount an ISO over the network, power control, and the sensor readings our own engineers watch. Support is staffed 24/7 by people who can reach the rack, on a 99.9% contractual SLA.

The fleet

We still run what everyone else retired.

Eighty-seven processors are on our price list, and most of them are older than the ones our competitors advertise. That is the product, not an oversight.

A warm standby spends its life idle. A staging box has to mirror production, and faster hardware lies to you about what production will do. Per-core-licensed software is cheaper on fewer, faster cores than on more of them. A DNS secondary, a jump host, a VPN endpoint want to be small, cheap and permanent. Newest is a good answer to exactly one question, and it is not usually the one you arrived with.

Thirty-three operating systems install in one click — from Ubuntu 14.04 and Windows Server 2008 R2 right up to Ubuntu 26.04 and Windows Server 2025, plus Proxmox VE and VMware vSphere Hypervisor with no license to chase. Reinstall to any of them yourself, at any hour, from the same panel.

Where

Five regions, one backbone.

The numbers below are real round trips from your connection to each of our points of presence, measured in your browser while you read this. Not a marketing map — the nearest one is marked.

Facilities, carriers and peering are on the data centers page.

How it arrives

Two ways, and the price is the same either way.

Already racked

Machines sitting in the racks, imaged and on the network. There is no build queue because there is nothing left to build, and no waiting on a part. The wait is the approval, not the hardware.

Browse what is in stock

Built to your specification

Tell us the shape of the thing you need — the parts, the racking, the wiring — and we build it, in four to twenty-four hours depending on the region.

Specify a build

Already running somewhere else? Moving a live server is a scheduling problem rather than a hardware one, and the migration page is the whole answer: the cutover sequence with measured timings, what it costs to switch, and what happens if it goes wrong. Still deciding? The comparisons put us side by side with the hosts you are probably also looking at.

The things people ask before they ask anything else

Plain answers, on the page, in the markup — not behind a script.

Who
Server Room is the trading name of Data Room, Inc. of Long Island City, New York, with Data Room SRL in Bucharest, Romania. Hosting since 2004. About the company.
What
We rent whole physical servers — dedicated, bare metal and GPU — with unmetered bandwidth, plus streaming and edge delivery on the same network. We own the hardware and the network. We are not a reseller.
Where
five regions: New York, Miami, San Francisco, Amsterdam and Bucharest. Facilities, carriers and peering.
How fast
A machine already racked is live about 30 minutes after your order is approved. One built to your specification takes four to twenty-four hours. What is racked right now.
Included
Out-of-band management on every dedicated server — remote console from before the operating system boots, virtual media, power control and sensor readings. A 1 Gbps unmetered port, one IPv4 and IPv6. See the control panel.
Network
Ours. We operate AS19624, an autonomous system registered to Data Room, Inc., and announce our own IPv4 and IPv6 address space from it — publicly verifiable. Your traffic does not cross a reseller’s account to reach the internet.
Bandwidth
Nothing counts your traffic. There is no allowance to exceed and no overage line, at any port speed from 1 Gbps to 100 Gbps. How the port is priced.
Software
Thirty-three operating systems install in one click, including Proxmox VE and VMware vSphere Hypervisor, Linux from Ubuntu 14.04 to Ubuntu 26.04, and Windows Server from Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2025. Reinstall to any of them yourself, at any time.
Old hardware
Deliberately, yes. Eighty-seven processors are on the price list and most of them are older than what our competitors advertise, because a warm standby, a staging box that has to mirror production, or a per-core-licensed database is cheaper and often better on one. The long-service range, which sets out all four.
Uptime
99.9% SLA, and support is staffed 24/7 by engineers who can reach the rack. Read the agreement (PDF).
Contract
Monthly, and you may leave at the end of any month. Paying three, six or twelve months up front takes up to 15% off. There is no setup fee on a standard build, no introductory rate and no renewal step-up — the figure you sign up on is the figure you keep.
Money
Every plan and price is on the pricing page. What is on the shelf right now, with live prices and the exact hardware in each machine, is on instant servers. Nothing on this page is a quote.
Paying
Card, PayPal, bank transfer and cryptocurrency, plus the local methods each country expects. Invoices, receipts and payment methods live in the client area.
Moving in
We do the infrastructure half and help plan the rest at no charge. The migration page is the whole answer — the cutover sequence with measured timings, what it costs to switch, and what happens if it goes wrong.
For machines
/api/llm/readyservers answers in plain English with live stock and real prices — no key, no signup. The same catalog over MCP is at /mcp, and the guide for agents is llms.txt.

Every page, in one place

If you came for something specific, it is in here.

Elsewhere

The same people, in the places you already read.

Pick a machine that already exists.

Or describe one that does not, and we will build it. Either way a person is on the other end of it.
