Busy databases
MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQL Server with write-heavy loads get the full disk throughput of NVMe in RAID, with no other tenant competing for it.

Bare Metal Server India
Quick answer
A bare metal server is a physical machine leased to one customer with no provider hypervisor, so every core, ECC RAM module and disk serves your workload alone. WebJi® bare metal starts at ₹4,999 a month plus GST for a Xeon E3/E5 class machine with 32 GB RAM, RAID, a gigabit uplink and IPMI.
For teams running busy databases, game servers, their own hypervisor or per-core licensed software, where steady performance matters more than instant scaling.

What is a bare metal server?
A bare metal server is one physical machine leased to one customer, with no provider hypervisor between your operating system and the hardware. Every CPU core, every gigabyte of ECC RAM and the full speed of the disks belong to your workload, which is why performance stays the same at 3 a.m. and at peak hour.
At WebJi® bare metal sits inside the dedicated server line: the same single-tenant hardware, handed over with root or Administrator access, a static IPv4 address, RAID storage and IPMI. This page explains when the “no hypervisor” part matters; the dedicated server page covers the full catalogue.
Bare metal vs VPS vs cloud: what actually changes?
The difference is what sits under your operating system: nothing on bare metal, a KVM hypervisor shared with other customers on a VPS, and a pooled, elastic platform on cloud. That one layer decides consistency, scaling speed and price.
| Factor | Bare metal | VPS | Cloud |
|---|---|---|---|
| Virtualisation | None — your hardware | KVM slice of a shared host | Pooled, elastic |
| Neighbour noise | None | Isolated, but the host is shared | Isolated, multi-tenant |
| CPU | Whole physical cores | vCPU shares | vCPU shares |
| Scaling | Re-provision hardware | Resize with a reboot | Add capacity quickly |
| Own hypervisor | Yes — Proxmox VE, KVM or Hyper-V | No | No |
| Best for | Databases, game servers, licensed software | Apps and dev stacks | Spiky web traffic |
If a fixed virtual slice is enough, start on VPS hosting; if traffic swings sharply, cloud hosting scales faster than any physical box.
Which workloads need bare metal?
Bare metal pays off when variance costs money: a database whose query times must stay flat, a game server whose tick rate drops on a busy host, or software licensed by physical core or socket. If none of those apply, a VPS is cheaper and easier to resize.
Game servers
Steady single-core speed keeps tick rates stable; the game server hosting page covers specific titles.
Your own private cloud
Install Proxmox VE or another hypervisor and split the machine into your own virtual servers, as described under private cloud hosting.
Licensed and audited software
Per-core licences are easier to count on known physical hardware, and single tenancy simplifies isolation questions in audits.
Machine-learning training that needs GPUs is a separate line on GPU server hosting.
How much does a bare metal server cost in India?
WebJi® dedicated hardware starts at ₹4,999 a month plus GST for a Xeon E3/E5 class machine with 32 GB RAM, RAID storage, a gigabit uplink and IPMI. Over a year that entry machine costs ₹59,988 before tax (₹4,999 × 12). Larger bare metal builds are quoted per requirement, in INR, with 18% GST on the invoice.
| Sample | Hardware | Suits | Order |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS-Entry | Xeon E-series · 16 GB ECC · 2×480 GB SSD (RAID-1) · 1 Gbps | Single heavy app or database | Get Custom Quote → |
| DS-Business | Xeon Silver · 32 GB ECC · 2×1 TB NVMe (RAID-1) · 1 Gbps | High-traffic e-commerce | Get Custom Quote → |
| DS-Pro | Dual Xeon · 64 GB ECC · 4×1 TB NVMe (RAID-10) · IPMI | Your own hypervisor, clusters | Get Custom Quote → |
Exact CPU generation, storage mix and price are confirmed in the quote before you pay. Linux is the default; Windows Server changes the quote. There is no dollar price converted at checkout.
What do you control on a bare metal server?
You control the whole software stack from the kernel up, and IPMI gives you an out-of-band console that reaches the machine even when the operating system will not boot. That makes reinstalls, BIOS-level checks and kernel tuning possible without opening a ticket.
- Operating system: any Linux distribution or Windows Server; see Linux dedicated servers for the default stack.
- Storage layout: RAID-1 mirrors two disks; RAID-10 stripes across mirrored pairs for speed and capacity. RAID is not a backup — the RAID storage guide explains why.
- Location: server orders can choose India, Singapore, US East or West, Germany or the UK; see server locations.
- Management: self-managed by default; patching and monitoring can be handed over on a managed dedicated server.
How to order a bare metal server
Ordering is quote-first: describe the workload or pick a sample row, approve the INR figure, and the machine is provisioned with RAID and your chosen operating system. Email support@webji.services, answered 24/7 in Hindi and English with an average first reply under 60 minutes.
- Send the workload, expected database size, operating system and preferred location.
- Receive the configuration and INR price, before 18% GST, and approve it.
- Log in with the root or Administrator credentials and confirm IPMI access.
- Set up backups to a separate system before moving production data.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is bare metal the same as a dedicated server?
In practice, yes: both mean a single-tenant physical machine. “Bare metal” stresses that no provider hypervisor sits on it. At WebJi® both are sold through the dedicated server line, with the same root access, RAID and IPMI.
Can I install Proxmox on a WebJi® bare metal server?
Yes. With no provider hypervisor present, you can install Proxmox VE, KVM or Hyper-V and carve the machine into your own virtual servers. A dual-Xeon build with RAID-10, like the DS-Pro sample, is the usual starting point.
What uplink speed does the server get?
The published entry and sample configurations come with a gigabit (1 Gbps) uplink. If your workload needs more, state the expected traffic in your request and the quote will confirm what can be provided before you pay.
When should I stay on a VPS instead?
When the workload fits comfortably inside a virtual slice, response times are already stable, and you value resizing with a reboot. Move to bare metal when neighbour noise, disk throughput or per-core licensing becomes the constraint.
What does a bare metal server cost per year?
The entry machine is ₹59,988 a year before GST: ₹4,999 a month multiplied by twelve. Larger configurations are quoted per requirement in INR, and 18% GST is added on the invoice.
