Overview

Dedicated Servers in Slough - What to Expect

Dedicated servers in Slough give you bare-metal performance - no hypervisor overhead, no shared CPU, no virtualisation tax. Traffic reaches Slough from our Newcastle datacenter via AS212868 and direct LINX peering - keeping domestic traffic on domestic paths. Servers are available with Intel Xeon and AMD Ryzen processors, up to 512GB DDR4 ECC RAM, and NVMe Gen4 storage in RAID-10 configuration. IPMI out-of-band management is included on every server, so remote reboots and OS reinstalls don't require an engineer visit.

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).
