LiquidWeb

LiquidWeb Hosting providers rent out physical servers for clients who are, effectively, tenants. Some tenants have digital neighbors — that’s called shared hosting. For example, traditional cloud servers are shared spaces where each tenant has their own storage and bandwidth allotted. This is good for cost savings but comes with drawbacks from the server’s resources shared between digital neighbors.But with a bare metal hosting provider, you get your own physical server where you don’t share computing resources with anyone. Furthermore, bare metal cloud servers don’t have a pre-installed virtualization layer (also known as a hypervisor). In other types of servers, these layers are used to create separate digital spaces for clients to use a fraction of the server’s resources — kind of like how an apartment is divided into rental units.

Since bare metal cloud servers are free from pre-installed virtualization layers, you get complete control of the underlying hardware. That’s a handy perk many other server types can’t claim.
