About This Feature

10Gbps Dedicated Servers in the UK

10Gbps dedicated servers suit bandwidth-intensive workloads that have outgrown 1G connectivity: media streaming, large-scale backups, CDN origin servers, high-frequency trading infrastructure, and HPC clusters that need fast cross-server data transfer. Our UK 10G dedicated servers provide a 10Gbps network port as standard alongside Intel Xeon and AMD Ryzen processors, NVMe SSD storage, and DDoS protection on the 10G uplink.

Hardware on Glitch dedicated server plans includes Intel Xeon and AMD Ryzen options with DDR4 ECC RAM configurations up to 512 GB and NVMe Gen4 storage in RAID configurations. Each server ships with a 1Gbps unmetered port as standard, with a 10Gbps burst port available as an upgrade for transfer-heavy workloads.

The network operates through AS212868 with direct LINX and LONAP peering and NTT/GTT Tier-1 transit, delivering consistent low-latency paths to UK ISPs and international destinations. Corero Smartwall inline DDoS mitigation protects every server at the network edge without requiring a separate scrubbing appliance or additional monthly charge.

Managed and unmanaged configurations are available. Unmanaged servers ship with a base OS install and full root access. Managed plans add proactive monitoring, OS patching, and 24/7 emergency response. Full hardware specifications and pricing are on the dedicated servers page.

External resources: LINX (London Internet Exchange) and RIPE NCC (European IP registry).

Use Cases

Who This Is For

This feature is particularly well suited to these workloads and teams.

1

Content Distribution Origins

CDN origin servers, software mirrors, and large file distribution services where 10Gbps burst port option sustains simultaneous high-throughput transfers to edge nodes and end users.

2

Large-Scale API Backends

High-request-rate API gateways and web platforms that sustain tens of thousands of concurrent connections - the 10Gbps burst port lifts the NIC ceiling that 1Gbps servers hit during traffic spikes.

3

Network Testing & Research

Organisations running network performance testing, traffic simulation, or security research that need burst capacity beyond 1Gbps for reproducible benchmarks.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The 10G option is a burst port rather than a committed 10Gbps rate - it lets transfers peak well above the standard 1Gbps port, but throughput depends on network conditions and routing, and sustained 10Gbps is not guaranteed.
The 10Gbps burst port is a flat £10/mo add-on to the unmetered 1Gbps port, with no per-GB charges. It is burst capacity for peaks rather than a committed 10Gbps line - recommended for CDN, streaming, and backup workloads with spiky transfer patterns.
Yes. Install KVM, Proxmox, or VMware ESXi on your dedicated server and provision multiple VMs. The 10G port can be bridged or bonded across multiple VMs using Linux bridges or Open vSwitch.
