About This Feature
Xeon Dedicated Server UK hosting from Glitch Servers is built around the Intel Xeon E3-1240 v6 - a quad-core, eight-thread processor with a 3.7GHz base clock and 4.1GHz turbo frequency, making it one of the strongest single-threaded performers in the E3 v6 generation. At £49 per month, this server provides 32GB DDR4 RAM, a 500GB NVMe data drive, and a 128GB OS SSD, with IPMI out-of-band access included as standard. The E3-1240 v6 is a mature, proven platform well suited to workloads that benefit from high clock speed rather than large core counts - including game servers, web applications, and relational databases. Intel's E3 v6 generation uses the Kaby Lake microarchitecture, manufactured on a 14nm process, with full support for ECC memory - an important feature for production workloads where silent data corruption would be problematic. ECC RAM is included in the 32GB DDR4 specification, providing memory error detection and correction at the hardware level. IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) gives you hardware-level remote access independent of the operating system - useful for remote OS reinstalls, BIOS changes, and diagnosing kernel panics without raising a support ticket. Glitch Servers routes Xeon dedicated server traffic through AS212868 with a 1Gbps unmetered uplink and direct LINX peering, keeping domestic UK traffic on low-latency paths. A 10Gbps burst port upgrade is available for £10/mo. Always-on DDoS protection and UK data centre residency are included, making this a capable and cost-effective option for any workload that needs Xeon-class single-threaded performance in a UK-hosted environment.
Key Benefits
Every plan includes these capabilities as standard - no tier-gating, no hidden extras.
Strong single-threaded performance for game servers, databases, and web applications that depend on clock speed
32GB ECC DDR4 detects and corrects memory errors silently - critical for production database and application workloads
Full virtualisation support - run Proxmox, ESXi, or KVM to create isolated VMs on the same physical hardware
Hardware-level remote management independent of the OS - reinstall, reboot, and diagnose without support tickets
Technical Specifications
Real specs on real hardware - not marketing numbers.
Intel Xeon E3-1240 v6 - 4C/8T, 3.7GHz base, 4.1GHz turbo, 8MB L3 cache
32GB DDR4 ECC RAM - hardware error correction, no overcommit
