*📜 Plan description
Small is a preconfigured bare metal server on a 1-year term at $199.80 per month. It uses 1X Intel Xeon D-2141I with 8C/16T at 2.2/3.0GHz, 128GB of RAM, and 3.2TB NVMe plus 256GB boot disk. The networking profile is 20Gbps private bandwidth with 1Gbps public bandwidth. This hardware profile makes it a practical fit for compact service nodes, development environments, edge services, gateways, and lightweight dedicated workloads. This model is shown only in the US catalog.
Built on the same bare metal platform, the catalog includes up to 20Gbps private networking at no extra charge, public egress handled with generous included allotments and fair 95th-percentile billing above the bundled level, monthly billing with pricing that can be locked for multi-year agreements, and IPMI access for power control, BIOS work, remote console sessions, and custom OS loading. DDoS filtering is included for up to 10 Gbps per IP, the base network SLA is 99.96%, and actual network performance is stated as above 99.99% in recent years. OpenMetal also backs the service with a 30-day money-back guarantee, and the operational side is tied into its in-house OpenMetal Central portal for ordering, budgeting, invoicing, visibility, and support. Support access spans email, ticketing or helpdesk workflows, live chat, and 24x7 emergency coverage. XL and XXL systems are positioned for SGX or TDX-capable deployments, and every server can run as a standalone dedicated node or sit beside an OpenMetal private cloud on shared VLANs for hybrid deployments. The fleet is hosted in Tier III facilities in Ashburn and Los Angeles in the US, Amsterdam in the Netherlands, and Singapore, with redundant power and cooling, carrier-neutral connectivity, strong compliance posture, and low-latency reach into major regional markets. The platform emphasizes fixed monthly costs, direct engineer engagement, custom quoting for larger rollouts, and delivery commitments where servers are scheduled on time or the first month is free.

📄 Editorial Review
OpenMetal (est. 2021) is a serious infrastructure provider built around open-source private cloud rather than low-end mass-market hosting. The business was originally created by InMotion Hosting, and the whole platform is shaped around giving customers a practical alternative to hyperscale public cloud bills. The leadership is visible, with Todd Robinson serving as co-founder and president, and the technical direction is clearly centered on making OpenStack and Ceph easier to consume in production without forcing customers to buy and maintain their own hardware.The product range is broader than a normal hosting company, but it remains focused on infrastructure, not shared hosting for simple websites. Their main catalog includes Hosted Private Cloud, On-Demand Private Cloud powered by OpenStack, Bare Metal Dedicated Servers, Ceph Storage Clusters, GPU Servers & Clusters, Cloud Expansion Nodes, Spot Hardware, and Managed / Assisted Private Cloud options. That makes the platform much more relevant for SaaS companies, cloud providers, MSPs, Kubernetes-heavy teams, storage-intensive projects, AI workloads, and organizations trying to move away from AWS, Azure, or GCP than for beginners who only need a basic cPanel account.
The strongest point is the architecture philosophy. OpenMetal gives customers full root access, production-ready deployment in about 45 seconds, dedicated hardware, and a cloud stack based on OpenStack + Ceph instead of proprietary lock-in. The core private cloud starts as a 3-node hyperconverged cluster, which is a meaningful difference from VPS-style products that start tiny and scale later. This also explains why OpenMetal feels more like an IaaS platform than a traditional hosting shop.
