Out-of-band access

Remote management with iLO & IPMI.

Locked yourself out with a firewall rule or a failed kernel update? ZapX opens a time-boxed session to the server's BMC - iLO or IPMI - through a secure gateway, with temporary credentials and a fixed expiry instead of a management interface exposed to the internet.

BMC gateway

Reach the hardware even when the OS is down.

Secure access in three steps

Switch it on when you need it

Request out-of-band access in the panel only when recovery work calls for it.

Temporary credentials

Gateway-protected

Connect through ZapX instead of leaving the management interface open on the public internet.

Out-of-band management through the server's own BMC: depending on the hardware, that's HP iLO, IPMI or an equivalent interface.

Use cases

When the whole machine has to be yours.

Bare-metal hosting pays off when a workload needs sustained performance, physical isolation and headroom to grow - without sharing the host with anyone.

High-traffic platforms

Busy web platforms, APIs, stores and SaaS backends get exclusive CPU and a 10 Gbit/s or 25 Gbit/s uplink, depending on the hardware class - predictable even through traffic spikes.

Dedicated server vs VPS

VPS or dedicated server - which one do you need?

Both come with root access and the ZapX panel. The difference is isolation and hardware class: a VPS gives you a guaranteed slice of a shared host for less, a dedicated server gives you the entire machine and all of its performance.

Feature

Dedicated

Intel Xeon or AMD Ryzen 9000 bare metal

Best when you need full isolation, the whole CPU and a 10 or 25 Gbit/s uplink on one machine.

VPS Hosting

Guaranteed slice on powerful server CPUs

Best for flexible self-hosting when you don't need a whole machine yet.

Lower entry price via resource slice

FAQ

Dedicated server hosting FAQ

What to know before you rent a dedicated server: cost, hardware classes, setup time, DDoS protection, location and how Lifetime works.

You get an entire physical machine - bare metal - that nobody else shares.

With dedicated server hosting at ZAP-Hosting, CPU, RAM and storage belong to you alone: no virtualization layer and no other customers on the host. Unlike a KVM VPS, you get the full hardware, root access and iLO/IPMI remote management, with Intel Xeon classes on 10 Gbit/s and SATA SSD (Xeon Gold also NVMe) or AMD Ryzen 9000 with DDR5, NVMe SSD and up to 25 Gbit/s.

The price depends on the hardware class, storage, uplink, runtime and any extra IPv4 addresses - the pricing cards on this page show the current amount.

The main price drivers are the hardware class (Intel Xeon E5, Intel Xeon Gold or AMD Ryzen 9000), the RAM and storage configuration, the uplink (10 or 25 Gbit/s), the runtime and additional IPv4 addresses. The pricing cards on this page load live prices straight from the shop, so you always see the current dedicated server price. The Intel Xeon E5 entry class with SATA SSD and 10 Gbit/s is the low-cost option and still includes DDoS protection and iLO access. Runtimes range from 3 days to 1 year, and you see the full amount before checkout.

The traffic quota and included IP addresses are shown per server in the shop; extra traffic and additional IPv4 addresses are booked in the panel.

The shop shows which IP addresses are included with each server. In the ZapX panel, the network tool shows your IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, reverse DNS and your traffic against the package quota. If the quota is not enough, you order traffic packs directly in the panel, and you adjust the number of IPv4 addresses there as well. The exact amounts depend on the processor and location you choose.

Yes - flexible runtimes from 3 days to 1 year, cancel anytime; the cancellation takes effect at the end of the booked runtime.

You choose a runtime of 3, 30, 90 or 180 days or 1 year where available, and you can cancel anytime. A rented dedicated server keeps running until the end of the runtime you've booked, and you can undo the cancellation before then. Once that runtime ends, the server and its data are deleted, so back up anything you need beforehand. Lifetime servers work differently: they are locked while they aren't covered by your ZapX Pass, and your lifetime entitlement stays.

You can buy a dedicated server once with Lifetime and an active ZapX Pass - it isn't rent-to-own, the hardware stays with ZAP-Hosting.

With Lifetime you buy the server once instead of renting it, and an active ZapX Pass is required. The hardware stays in the data center and is assigned to you while your ZapX Pass covers it. If the server isn't covered by your ZapX Pass, or you deactivate it yourself, it is locked and powered off, but your lifetime entitlement stays. The hardware and your data are kept for a while, after that we release the hardware; you can see the exact dates in the customer panel. Once it is covered again, it unlocks automatically or is set up fresh on equivalent hardware. The IP address can change at that point. You can still add more IPv4 addresses later from the panel.

Intel Xeon (HP G9/G10) or AMD Ryzen 9000 with DDR5; the Xeon classes connect at 10 Gbit/s, all Ryzen offers at 25 Gbit/s.

There are three hardware classes: Intel Xeon E5 on HP G9 with SATA SSD, Intel Xeon Gold on HP G10 with NVMe or SATA SSD, and AMD Ryzen 9000 with DDR5, up to 5.7 GHz boost and NVMe SSD only. The Xeon classes connect at 10 Gbit/s, all Ryzen offers at 25 Gbit/s. CPU, RAM and storage type are shown for every processor in the shop.

A VPS costs less and shares a host; a dedicated server gives you the whole machine.

Start with a VPS for flexible self-hosting with guaranteed virtual resources. Choose a dedicated server once shared CPU or missing hardware access holds you back: the Xeon classes cover solid everyday workloads on 10 Gbit/s, while the Ryzen 9000 class with DDR5 and up to 25 Gbit/s suits compute-heavy and high-traffic projects.

Yes, when isolation, sustained CPU and RAM performance and full hardware control matter more than the entry price; renting also spares you the hardware, power and colocation costs.

A dedicated server costs more than a VPS because you rent the whole machine. It pays off for high-traffic platforms, databases, large gaming communities, virtualization labs and workloads that have outgrown shared host slices. Owning a server means paying for hardware, rack space, electricity, bandwidth and spare parts yourself; when you rent a dedicated server from ZAP-Hosting, all of that is covered by the price.

You administer the server yourself, with full root access and iLO/IPMI.

You control the OS, apps and updates with full root access, so the software stack is entirely in your hands. The panel covers power, OS installs, custom ISOs, rescue mode, remote management, IPs and DNS, and you put together CPU, RAM, storage and network yourself in the shop configurator.

Yes, install the operating system that fits your stack.

Dedicated servers support Linux and Windows installs straight from the panel, plus rescue mode and custom ISO workflows for advanced setups such as Proxmox.

Yes. Run one setup command once, then install apps with one click.

You find the setup command in the Apps tab of your dedicated server and run it once as root. It installs Coolify and sets up your own panel domain with SSL. After that you install apps like Nextcloud, n8n or WireGuard with one click in the ZAP panel. This works on Debian and Ubuntu, but not on a server you run as a Proxmox host. You keep full root access the whole time.

Yes - especially for large communities or several game servers on one machine.

A dedicated server for gaming gives you the whole machine for multiple game servers, voice, panels and your own tools, with game-specific DDoS filtering in front. If you only want to host one game without admin work, our managed game server hosting is the simpler choice.

Out-of-band remote management for power control and recovery, even when the operating system is offline.

Where the hardware supports it, ZapX opens a time-limited BMC, IPMI or iLO session from the panel, so you can manage the physical machine safely, for example to power-cycle it or repair a server that no longer boots.

In Frankfurt / Eygelshoven, our main EU location with dark fiber via Frankfurt and Amsterdam.

ZAP-Hosting has locations worldwide, and the dedicated hardware runs in Frankfurt / Eygelshoven. If you also need a presence in the US, our VPS and game servers are available in Ashburn, Dallas and Los Angeles.

Yes - PletX protects the Frankfurt / Eygelshoven region where our dedicated servers run.

In the Frankfurt / Eygelshoven region, PletX filters traffic with game-specific rules and up to 4 Tbit/s of capacity via Frankfurt and Amsterdam - always on and included. The DDoS Manager in the panel shows attacks, bandwidth and protection status for your server.

Builds with a machine ready now go online within minutes of payment; every other build shows its estimated delivery time in the shop before you order.

The shop labels the availability of every build. Recurring billing only starts once the server has been handed over to you, and until then you can cancel the order yourself from the order overview with a full refund.
