What servers.com does

servers.com is a global hybrid bare metal cloud infrastructure provider founded in 2014 by hosting industry veterans, offering dedicated single-tenant compute alongside cloud-ready services across 11 data centers in North America, Europe, South America, and Asia Pacific. The platform is anchored by three core compute products — Scalable Bare Metal (SBM) for hourly on-demand provisioning, Enterprise Bare Metal (EBM) for customizable long-term deployments, and AI Compute with GPU resources for AI/ML workloads — supported by Managed Kubernetes, load balancing, firewall, cloud servers, private cloud, Forex VPS, private racks, and cloud storage. The technology stack includes a self-service customer portal, a public REST API with an OpenAPI specification, and an official HashiCorp Terraform provider, all running on ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified facilities with multi-carrier connectivity. Customers are concentrated in performance-sensitive verticals including AdTech, fintech, gaming, iGaming, streaming, Web3, and SaaS, with named users such as Voiso, GeoSpot Media, nanocosmos, Bware Labs, VoiceInteraction, More Screens, FxGrow, MGID, and Nodecraft.

The business operates a sales-led, hybrid GTM combining self-service via portal/API with dedicated enterprise account managers offering 24/7 support and an average response time of under 15 minutes. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring subscriptions — pay-as-you-go hourly billing for SBM and multi-year contracts for EBM — across the four revenue streams of bare metal hosting, cloud services, managed services, and storage. Servers.com B.V. (Netherlands) is the primary legal entity, with additional entities in the US, UK, Cyprus, and Vietnam. In April 2026, the company was consolidated with Liquid Web and Nexcess into a unified cloud ecosystem under the Liquid Web by Nexcess brand, positioning Servers.com as the dedicated bare metal and global infrastructure arm of the combined platform.
