Server Room · New York · Miami · San Francisco · Amsterdam · Bucharest
Dedicated server provider since 2004.This server room is ours.
Server Room is a dedicated server provider: you rent a whole physical server by the month, in New York, Miami, San Francisco, Amsterdam or Bucharest, from rooms we operate ourselves on our own network, AS19624. One tenant per machine, an unmetered port on every one, and engineers on call 24/7.
-
Stop 1 · The door
We own the servers and the network they run on.
Every machine 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. Anyone can check the holder of that number in under a minute.
-
Stop 2 · Row C, unit 14
One machine, one tenant, and the root password is yours.
You rent the whole physical box, not a slice of somebody else’s. Your operating system, your disks, nobody else’s work on them. 33 operating systems install in one click: Ubuntu 14.04 to 26.04, Debian, AlmaLinux, Windows Server 2008 R2 to 2025, Proxmox VE 9 and VMware vSphere Hypervisor.
-
Stop 3 · The uplink
Nothing back here counts your traffic.
Every server comes with an unmetered port: 1 Gbps as standard, up to 100 Gbps if you choose it. There is no transfer allowance and no overage line on the invoice. You pick the port speed once, and that is the bill.
-
Stop 4 · 3 a.m.
You can always reach your own 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. Engineers are on shift 24/7, and the SLA credits you once downtime passes 15 minutes.

What you can rent
Rent a dedicated server, a virtual server or a CDN
A dedicated server is the core of what we rent. We also rent GPU machines and virtual servers and run a video CDN, so each job can sit on hardware of the size it needs.
- Whole machineDedicated serversDedicated server hosting on Intel, AMD and ARM machines, from one socket to four, with NVMe or SATA disks.
- In stockReady serversMachines already racked and wired, live about 30 minutes after your order is approved.
- To orderCustom buildsChoose the processor, memory, disks and port. We build it in 4 to 24 hours.
- No hypervisorBare metalBare metal server hosting delivered the way a cloud server is: reinstall, power and console from the panel.
- AcceleratedGPU serversA dedicated GPU passed through to your own operating system, for training, inference and rendering.
- VirtualVirtual serversKVM virtual machines on our OpenStack cloud in New York, for jobs too small for a whole machine.
- DeliveryVideo CDNA managed content delivery network for live video, with an on-demand library on the paid plans.
- BroadcastStreamingInternet radio and live video: Shoutcast, Icecast, AutoDJ, video on demand and transcoding.
Server rental, step by step
How renting a server works here
- Choose. Take a machine that is already racked, or describe one and we build it.
- Approval. We verify the payment. That usually takes about two hours, but about one order in ten takes a few days, so order early if your date is fixed.
- Delivery. A racked server is live about 30 minutes after approval. A custom build takes 4 to 24 hours.
- Run it. You get root, the out-of-band console and the control panel. The term is monthly, and you can leave at the end of any month.
The monthly price you sign up at is the price you renew at: no introductory rate and no step-up later. 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 has 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 probably reading about.
Choosing
Describe the job. We point at the 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 choose.
A drawing, not a photo. It changes to match what you choose below.
That is roughly a 1-socket machine with 32 GB of memory and NVMe storage, on an unmetered port.
It also needs a GPU, so only machines with one are searched.
A server with many drives is usually built to order; the machine shown is the closest one already racked.
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 can pay by card, PayPal or bank transfer. Everything in stock.
The fleet
Older hardware stays on sale, 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 other hosts have retired, so we keep those machines on the price list.
Where
Five data center cities, measured from your browser.
The figures below are round trips from your connection to each 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.
Facilities, carriers and peering for each city are on the data centers page.
Support
An AI chat that answers in seconds. A person when you ask.
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 every change, and you can ask for a person at any point, 24/7.
Answers
Questions people ask before they rent a server
What does a dedicated server provider do?
It rents you a whole physical server in its data center, so every core, all the memory and the disks work only for you. Server Room has done this since 2004, on machines and a network we own, in New York, Miami, San Francisco, Amsterdam and Bucharest.
How do I 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 and a custom build takes 4 to 24 hours. You get root access, an out-of-band console and the control panel.
How much does it cost to rent a server?
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 with its live price. Paying three, six or twelve months ahead costs less than paying monthly.
Is server rental monthly, or is there a contract?
Monthly. You can leave at the end of any month, and the price you sign up at does not step up at renewal. Longer terms are optional and only lower the price.
What is the 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. Choose 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 have 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 the plans and what each one includes.
Is your dedicated server hosting 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?
Yes. Every server has an unmetered port, 1 Gbps as standard and up to 100 Gbps. There is no transfer allowance and no overage charge at any port speed.
Which cities are your data centers in?
New York, Miami and San Francisco in the United States, and Amsterdam and Bucharest in Europe. All five run on our own network, AS19624.
How does 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 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.
