Comparison · Vultr
Server Room is a Vultr alternative for bare metal: dedicated servers on unmetered ports in New York, Miami, San Francisco, Amsterdam and Bucharest, so traffic never turns into a second bill. Vultr Bare Metal plans include 5 or 10 TB of outgoing transfer, and every GB past that costs $0.01.
Below: how the allowance works, three of our servers set against the Vultr plan nearest to each, Vultr's full bare metal price list, and the cases where Vultr is the better buy.
Bandwidth
Every Vultr Bare Metal plan carries a monthly transfer allowance: 5 TB on the two cheapest, 10 TB on the rest. The allowance builds up hour by hour through the month and is pooled across your whole account, with 2 TB of free outgoing transfer added per account. Inbound traffic is free. Outgoing traffic past the pool is billed at $0.01 per GB.
Our dedicated servers have no allowance at all. The port has a speed, and the speed is the only limit. Send a TB or send what the port can carry for the whole month: the invoice is the same.
The included 10 TB, plus the account's 2 TB, is under 4% of what a 1 Gbps port can move in a month. The rest is billed by the GB.
The full line rate is yours, every hour of the month, with no meter on it.
Hardware and price

Our prices are in US dollars, for the exact parts listed, with one IPv4 address included. A configured build pays the one-time setup fee shown; paying 3, 6 or 12 months ahead lowers the monthly price. Two differences favour Vultr: the E-2388G runs at a higher clock than our Silver 4110, and its 1.92 TB drives are NVMe where ours are SATA SSD. Vultr figures are from its public plans API, read on 3 October 2026.

Overage
Take one Vultr plan with a 10 TB allowance, add the account's 2 TB, and bill the rest at $0.01 per GB. Our matched builds come with a 1 Gbps port that is never metered, so the traffic line on our invoice stays at zero.
A 1 Gbps port held at line rate for a month moves about 324 TB. On the metered plan that is $3,117.60 of overage on top of the server. Need more than 1 Gbps? Our 10 Gbps port is $529 a month, also unmetered.
| Outgoing traffic a month | Vultr overage, 10 TB plan | Server Room, 1 Gbps port |
|---|---|---|
| 10 TB | $0 | $0 |
| 25 TB | $127.60 | $0 |
| 50 TB | $377.60 | $0 |
| 100 TB | $877.60 | $0 |
| 324 TB* | $3,117.60 | $0 |
* 1 Gbps held for 30 days: 125 MB per second for 2,592,000 seconds. The Vultr column counts one server on the account; its 2 TB account bonus is shared by every server you run there. More on fast ports at 10 Gbps dedicated servers.
Beyond the hardware
The server is one line on the invoice. These are the others that decide the move.
The other side
Some workloads belong at Vultr. If yours is one of these, stay.
Vultr runs 33 regions, including Asia, Australia, South America and Africa. We run five cities in the US and Europe.
Vultr's cloud instances and bare metal share one account, one API and one transfer pool. We sell dedicated machines first; our cloud servers are a separate line.
If you send well under 10 TB a month and want the newest EPYC parts, the allowance never bites and the meter costs you nothing.
Moving
Run both servers side by side until the new one passes every check. The old one stays your rollback.
Match cores, memory and disks to what the Vultr server actually uses. Check last month's transfer on its bandwidth page: that is the bill you are leaving.
Install the same OS, pull your data across, and test on the new IP while the old server keeps serving. Inbound transfer to us is not metered either.
Drop the TTL a day ahead, run a last sync, switch the records, then destroy the Vultr instance. Our server migration plan covers each step and what we help with at no charge.
Answers
Yes. Every Server Room dedicated server runs on an unmetered port, at speeds up to 100 Gbps on our Xeon Silver and Gold line. There is no transfer allowance and no overage price. Vultr Bare Metal includes 5 or 10 TB a month and bills $0.01 per GB after that.
On 3 October 2026, Vultr listed bare metal from $120 a month for a 4-core Xeon E3-1270 up to $1,450 for a 32-core EPYC 9354P, among plans in stock. The 24-core EPYC 7443P with 256 GB was $725. Outgoing transfer past the plan's allowance is extra.
The vbm-4c-32gb: a 4-core Intel Xeon E3-1270, 32 GB of memory and two 240 GB SSDs, with 5 TB of transfer, at $120 a month. On 3 October 2026 it was stocked only in New Jersey, Los Angeles, Silicon Valley and Miami. Our smallest machine is in the panel at the top of this page, with its live price.
Yes, for outgoing traffic past the allowance. Each plan includes 5 or 10 TB a month, accrued hourly and pooled across the account, plus 2 TB free per account. Beyond that, outgoing transfer is $0.01 per GB. Inbound traffic is free. Our ports are unmetered in both directions.
Yes. On our order form you pick the processor, memory, disks, RAID controller and port speed, and the price updates as you go. A ready server is live about 30 minutes after payment is approved; a machine built to your list takes 4 to 24 hours.
Yes, every dedicated server comes with one IPv4 address, and more can be added on the order form.
