Nortonhost bare metal hosts give your hypervisor the whole machine. Spin up Proxmox, KVM, VMware, or Hyper-V, carve out as many VMs or containers as you need, and run a private cloud-style platform with predictable, dedicated resources. Near-zero virtualization overhead, zero vendor lock-in, hourly billing, and round-the-clock support from real engineers, not bots. Crypto payments welcome.
"Support is very fast, making it reassuring to rent a server. The option to pay per hour allows for flexible server usage, making it easy to test and evaluate different setups."

Provision a host that fits your hypervisor and your scaling plan from day one.
Each host runs on current-generation AMD EPYC and Ryzen processors for dense compute and low latency. Direct hardware access means you control performance tuning, isolation, and how resources are carved up. A natural fit for large VM fleets, hypervisor evaluation, and containerized application stacks.
Shape the infrastructure around your virtualization stack instead of the other way around. Add CPU cores, scale RAM up to 1TB, and pair it with fast NVMe SSDs. Bare metal lets you install the OS or hypervisor you prefer and tune the hardware right down to the BIOS.
Virtualizing on dedicated bare metal lifts both throughput and value: resources are yours alone, utilization stays high, and operational costs stay lean. Ideal for teams that need dependable, high-performance virtual environments.
Take full ownership of your virtualization environment on dedicated hardware. Nortonhost makes it simple to deploy and manage virtual machines sized to each workload, with strong isolation, consistent performance, transparent pricing, and architecture that scales as you grow—the upside of cloud without the lock-in.
Broad choice of CPU, RAM, and storage configurations
High-throughput private networking
100TB free outbound, unmetered inbound traffic
Run containerized workloads straight on dedicated bare metal. Full hardware access and minimal overhead deliver predictable performance, tighter security, and complete say over your OS and orchestration layer. Whether you run Docker, Kubernetes, or something else, your containers stay efficient and scale dependably.
Full OS-level access to install Docker, Kubernetes, or custom orchestration stacks
Tailored memory and CPU configurations for container tuning
100TB free outbound, unmetered inbound traffic
With bare metal virtualization, a type 1 (bare metal) hypervisor sits directly on the physical server. It drives the hardware itself and lets you launch many virtual machines, each with its own operating system and workload.
Performance: Little to no overhead, because the hypervisor speaks straight to the hardware.
Full control: Built for advanced users who want to tailor their virtualization environment.
Security isolation: Every VM stays separated from the rest—ideal for segmented workloads.
Scalability: Add, remove, or clone VMs as your infrastructure expands.
Bring your own operating system (Linux, Windows, and more).
Every server ships with an isolated private VLAN whose unmetered bandwidth mirrors your public uplink, keeping virtualized workloads fast and efficient. Add private subnets, floating IPs, or DDoS-protected IPs whenever you need them.
Bare metal gives you dedicated, isolated resources—CPU, memory, storage, and network—so every workload gets peak performance and complete control, with none of the shared-host overhead.
Without a provider-managed hypervisor in the way, you get raw access and far less complexity. Well suited to sensitive workloads, large-scale VM fleets, and container-orchestration testing.
Automate the whole stack through our REST API and DevOps integrations. Drive provisioning and VM lifecycle management from the Client Portal, API, CLI, SDKs, Ansible, or Terraform.
Run the hypervisor of your choice: Proxmox, VMware, KVM, Xen, or Hyper-V.
Deploy in the United States or Hong Kong—positioned for fast, low-latency reach across North America and the Asia-Pacific region.
Our technical support always comes from real engineers, with no tiered queues to climb. A personal account manager is included at no extra cost. Reach us on Live Chat in under 15 seconds, or via email, phone, Telegram, or Discord.
Up to 100TB of free monthly egress is included, with any overage from just $0.5/TB and unlimited inbound traffic.
Hourly billing lets you test or scale virtualization workloads with no long-term commitment. Pay with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, or use PayPal, credit card, and other flexible methods.

Server virtualization partitions a single physical machine into multiple isolated virtual servers, each running its own operating system and applications side by side. A hypervisor allocates the host's CPU, memory, and storage across those guests so workloads stay separated yet efficient.
Bare metal virtualization runs a type 1 (bare metal) hypervisor directly on a physical server, with no shared host layer in between. This gives you complete control over the hardware when deploying your own virtualization platform such as Proxmox, KVM, VMware, or Hyper-V.
Absolutely. Nortonhost servers provide full hardware-level access, so they work equally well as virtualization hosts or as nodes for containerized infrastructure.
Yes. Every Nortonhost server ships with full root access, letting you install and configure your own OS, hypervisor, or orchestration platform exactly as you need.
Each account includes up to 100TB/month of free outbound traffic plus unlimited inbound, pooled across all your servers. Any additional egress is charged from just $0.5/TB.
Yes. Live human support is included with every plan, 24/7, with typical response times under 15 seconds via live chat, email, phone, Telegram, or Discord. You also get a dedicated account manager at no extra cost.
You can prepay your balance or settle invoices on renewal, with both manual and automatic payments supported. Choose hourly or fixed-term billing, plus spot billing on select plans, and pay using any of 20+ supported payment methods backed by a 99.99% Network Uptime SLA.
