*📜 Plan description
Balanced Intro is presented as an entry-level balanced dedicated server option focused on straightforward single-tenant performance.
CPU: Intel Xeon E-2234
RAM: 8GB DDR4 2666MHz
Storage: 1TB SATA plus 240GB SSD (capacity drive plus an SSD volume typically used for OS, caching, or hot data)
Traffic and uplink: traffic is shown as 5TB with an alternative 100TB option, and uplink choices are listed as 1/3/5/10Gbits
IP addressing: 1 IPv4 and a /64 IPv6 allocation
This configuration suits lighter application hosting, small service stacks, development environments, or entry storage and backup tasks where dedicated resources and predictable behavior are more important than high memory.
Dedicated servers are described as enterprise class machines reserved exclusively for one customer, placed in secure and environmentally controlled Tier 3 data centres.
The provider positions itself as owning and managing the hardware on the customer's behalf, while still giving remote access so teams can configure, operate, and administer the server without sharing resources with other tenants.
Standard specifications are presented as available with a fast turnaround, and the service is framed for hosting applications, software services, backups, and storage workloads where isolation and consistent performance matter.
Connectivity messaging highlights a UK and European network footprint and access to additional services around connectivity, security, and cloud.
Support is presented as available 24/7 via published support phone contacts.
The same page includes a broad data-centre footprint list spanning multiple countries, which is relevant when selecting a region for latency-sensitive deployments and resiliency planning.

📄 Editorial Review
M247 (including the M247 Global brand) is a connectivity-driven cloud and hosting provider that has grown from a UK-based host into a genuinely international infrastructure player. The company traces its roots back to around 2000 in Manchester and has expanded through acquisitions and mergers (including Metronet UK) into a larger group that combines network connectivity, cloud hosting, bare-metal servers and colocation. The target audience is clearly organisations that care about performance, uptime and reach rather than low-end shared hosting.Instead of simple shared hosting plans, M247 focuses on infrastructure and network services:
- Dedicated servers and GPU/ARM servers – Bare-metal machines in Tier III-grade data centres around the world, aimed at SaaS platforms, database clusters, virtualisation stacks, video streaming, gaming and AI/LLM workloads. Configurations can include NVMe storage, 10 Gbit/s connectivity and GPU-accelerated nodes.
- Cloud hosting (public, private, hybrid) – VMware-based cloud clusters with integrated backup and disaster recovery, delivered from Tier III-compliant facilities with a 99.99% uptime SLA, DDoS protection, encryption and layered security. Resources can be scaled across dozens of data centres and cities on multiple continents, with up to 10 Gbit/s connectivity into the platform.
- Colocation – Rack space and cages in Tier III-certified or Tier III-equivalent sites, with redundant power, cooling and high-capacity connectivity. A core footprint includes two privately owned data centres in Bucharest, facilities in the UK (notably Manchester) and a wider global network of partner data centres.
- Connectivity services – Business fibre and wireless leased lines, IP transit, data transport, MPLS/VPN, and cloud-connect into major hyperscalers. The backbone is built as a high-capacity network with very large aggregate bandwidth, extensive peering and a published 99.99% network uptime goal.
- Security and continuity – Managed DDoS protection, managed firewalls, Backup-as-a-Service and DRaaS built on top of the same network and data-centre footprint, so customers can keep infrastructure and security under one roof.
M247 is a single partner for connectivity, hosting, cloud and security. Typical customers include SaaS providers, gaming and gambling platforms, media and streaming companies, financial institutions, telcos and enterprises with multi-site networks and latency-sensitive applications. The whole setup feels like enterprise infrastructure, not commodity web hosting with small shared plans.
Web portals and documentation are available in English and Romanian, and services are generally requested via quote forms and account managers rather than instant checkout.
