Overview

Dedicated Servers in London - What to Expect

Dedicated Servers in London from Glitch Servers provides full bare-metal performance with no virtualisation overhead - backed by AMD Ryzen hardware, NVMe Gen4 storage, and UK-native routing through AS212868. When your application outgrows shared resources or requires predictable, consistent compute, a dedicated server eliminates the variables. Our London dedicated servers are housed in Telehouse North in Docklands, the same facility that hosts some of the UK's most demanding financial and media workloads. You get exclusive access to the full hardware - Intel Xeon 7003 series or Intel Xeon and AMD Ryzen processors, DDR4/DDR4 ECC RAM from 32GB to 1TB, and NVMe SSD RAID arrays delivering sustained read performance above 6,000 MB/s. 100G uplinks with BGP failover ensure your server stays connected regardless of carrier-level events.

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).

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What round-trip latency can a London business expect connecting to a Glitch dedicated server?

London-based clients connecting to a Glitch dedicated server route via AS212868 with LINX peering, typically seeing 8–18ms round-trip times. For database-backed applications, batch processing pipelines, and API services, this is well within acceptable parameters. Absolute minimum-latency applications - algorithmic trading, HFT infrastructure - require colocation at an exchange-connected facility rather than any hosted server arrangement, regardless of provider geography.

Are bare-metal dedicated servers suitable for London media and broadcast post-production workflows?

Yes. Video transcoding, AI-assisted colour grading, and CGI rendering are CPU-intensive, I/O-heavy tasks that benefit from dedicated hardware - no CPU contention from neighbouring tenants, no shared IOPS budget. Glitch dedicated servers include Intel Xeon and AMD Ryzen options with NVMe Gen4 storage, delivering the consistent throughput that London's post-production, advertising, and broadcast sectors need. Assets transfer over high-bandwidth connections to local edit suites while heavy compute runs remotely.

Is there a dedicated server tier suited to a London startup's limited initial budget?

Entry-level dedicated servers start from £49/month with a single AMD Ryzen processor, 32 GB RAM, and 1 TB NVMe storage - a performance step-up from shared VPS at a fraction of the cost of AWS bare metal (m5.metal runs ~£1,800/month). For London startups on seed or Series A funding, dedicated hardware provides a predictable monthly cost for financial modelling, with a performance floor substantially higher than any shared cloud instance at the same price point.
