Fully Managed Bare-Metal Linux Servers — Full Root Access, No Windows Licensing to Pay For
Location: India Tier IV Datacentre — Delhi NCR · Mumbai · Pune
Bare-metal servers in Tier IV datacentres at Delhi NCR, Mumbai and Pune — running AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Ubuntu, Debian or CloudLinux, with full root access and no Windows licensing to pay for. Our team handles OS setup, patching, monitoring and hardware. You get the machine and the root password; we keep it running.
eWebGuru has been hosting Linux servers out of Indian datacentres since 2007, and every plan on this page is fully managed. That covers the initial build, RAID configuration, kernel and sysctl tuning, your web and database stack, security patching, proactive hardware monitoring and physical intervention at the rack — the part you cannot do from Noida or Nagpur at 2 a.m.
You keep full SSH root access throughout. Managed does not mean restricted — it means you are not the only person responsible when something breaks at 3 a.m. If you need .NET, MSSQL or Windows-native software instead, our Windows dedicated servers run the identical hardware.
Hardware is only part of your monthly cost. On identical hardware, the operating system is a separate recurring line item.
| Operating System | Monthly Licence Cost with eWebGuru |
|---|---|
| AlmaLinux / Rocky Linux / CentOS Stream | Free |
| Ubuntu | Free |
| Debian | Free |
| Any other Linux distro you request | Free |
| Windows Server 2019 / 2022 / 2025 (1 CPU) | ₹ 2,000 |
| Windows Server 2019 / 2022 / 2025 (2 CPU) | ₹ 4,000 |
On a dual-socket machine, choosing Linux saves you ₹4,000 every month — ₹48,000 a year — before you have run a single query. If your setup does not need cPanel, Webmin/Virtualmin, CentOS Web Panel or a panel-free build removes a commercial licence from the bill as well.
That is the practical case for Linux on bare metal in India: the same EPYC or Xeon silicon, the same rack, the same support team, at a lower recurring bill. If you need .NET, MSSQL or Windows-native software, our Windows dedicated servers run the identical hardware — the choice is purely about your application stack.
We install and manage every distribution below at no additional cost. When a release approaches end of life, our team flags it and works out the upgrade or migration path with you.
The default choice for cPanel/WHM and DirectAdmin environments, and the natural landing point if you are moving off CentOS. Binary-compatible with RHEL, with a ten-year support lifecycle.
| AlmaLinux 10.2 | Supported |
| AlmaLinux 9.8 | Supported |
| AlmaLinux 8.10 | Supported |
The other RHEL-compatible option we deploy. For most hosting workloads it comes down to which one your administrators already know — both carry the same long support lifecycle and the same control panel support.
| Rocky Linux 10.x | Supported |
| Rocky Linux 9.x | Supported |
| Rocky Linux 8.x | Supported |
Stream 10 and Stream 9 are supported. Stream 8 is end-of-life and we will not deploy it on a new build. If you are still running CentOS 7 or 8 anywhere, we will cross-grade you to AlmaLinux during migration at no charge.
| CentOS Stream 10 | Supported |
| CentOS Stream 9 | Supported |
| CentOS Stream 8 | End of Life |
| CentOS 7 / CentOS 8 | End of Life |
The right pick for Docker, Kubernetes, Node.js, Python and most cloud-native stacks. We deploy LTS releases only unless you specifically ask otherwise — the interim releases move too fast for production hosting.
| Ubuntu 26.04 LTS | Supported |
| Ubuntu 25.10 | End of Life |
| Ubuntu 25.04 | End of Life |
Minimal footprint, long release cycles, and the usual choice for hand-tuned LEMP builds and appliance-style deployments. Note that Debian 11 reaches LTS end-of-life on 31 August 2026 — plan accordingly.
| Debian 13 (Trixie) | Supported |
| Debian 12 (Bookworm) | Supported |
| Debian 11 (Bullseye) | LTS ends 31 Aug 2026 |
If you are running a shared-hosting or reseller business on this server, CloudLinux LVE gives you per-account CPU, memory, I/O and process limits, so one bad account cannot take down the node. Licensed separately.
| CloudLinux 10 | Supported |
| CloudLinux 9 | Supported |
| CloudLinux 8 | Supported |
Not Linux, but we support it — and it still has a loyal following for firewall, storage and mail workloads. ZFS, jails and pf remain compelling reasons to pick BSD over a Linux distribution for those specific jobs.
| FreeBSD 15.1 | In Production |
Short support cycles make Fedora a development and CI/CD choice rather than a production one. We will deploy it if you ask — and we will also tell you why AlmaLinux is usually the better answer for anything customer-facing.
| Fedora Server 44 | Supported |
| Fedora Server 43 | Supported |
Send us the image and we will mount and install it through IPMI. Gentoo, Arch, Proxmox, a hardened in-house build, an appliance ISO — if it boots, we will install it. You also get IPMI/KVM access yourself for reboots, BIOS access and OS reloads.
| Send us your ISO | Free |
| Mount & install via IPMI | Handled by us |
| Self-service OS reload | IPMI/KVM included |
All plans are fully managed and include a free SSL certificate, free migration, IPMI/KVM access, 1 Gbps uplink and 10 TB monthly transfer. Billing available in INR or USD.
Included on every plan: free SSL certificate (worth $149), free migration from your current provider, IPMI/KVM access, 1 Gbps uplink and 10 TB monthly transfer. All plans are fully managed. Minimum commitment is 30 days.
Chassis options: 4-bay (RAID 1 or single/dual disk), 8-bay (RAID 5/10) and 12-bay for high-capacity database, backup and storage builds. RAID 1, RAID 5 and RAID 10 are supported.
Larger workloads: where you need more cores, memory bandwidth or I/O than the builds above, we provision higher-tier hardware — EPYC 9454P (48-core), Xeon 6741P, Xeon Gold 6787P (86-core), EPYC 9004 Genoa (96-core) and EPYC 9005 Turin (128-core) — up to ₹1,57,000/mo.

Not a stock photo. This is one of our live racks in a Tier IV CtrlS facility — the same hardware, cabling and cooling that your bare-metal server sits in from the day it is provisioned.
Single-tenant hardware, in India, with our engineers physically able to reach it. When a disk fails at 2 a.m., someone walks to the rack.
On dedicated hardware, components eventually fail. What matters is how quickly a person reaches the machine, and what happens to your data in the meantime.
A failed disk, bad memory or a dead board shows up either through our monitoring or through a ticket you raise. Either way it lands with the support team on shift.
Before anyone opens the rack, we confirm the fault is physical. Plenty of things that look like dying hardware turn out to be a full filesystem, a kernel panic or a runaway process, and those are fixed over SSH.
Our datacentre team accesses the rack physically, identifies the failed component and pulls a replacement from spares held on site at the facility.
Disk, RAM or motherboard is swapped and the server is brought back up and tested. Most replacements complete in around two hours; our outer limit is six.
When a hard disk fails, we do not simply remove it. We reattach the faulty disk to your server as a secondary drive so you can attempt to pull data off it yourself — which matters if your last backup is not current.
You get told what failed, what was replaced and whether anything on your side needs attention — a RAID array to rebuild, a service to restart, a backup schedule worth revisiting.
Step 5 is the one worth reading twice. A failed disk is usually not a dead disk — it is a disk that has thrown enough errors to be untrustworthy in production. Data is often still readable. Handing it back to you attached to the machine gives you a chance at recovery that you lose the moment it goes in the bin. It is not a substitute for backups, and we would rather you had current ones, but it has saved customers before.
Because you have full root access, the panel choice is yours: a commercial panel, a free one, or none. Current licence costs are below.
| cPanel/WHM — 5 Domains | ₹ 2,600 |
| cPanel/WHM — 30 Domains | ₹ 3,400 |
| cPanel/WHM — 50 Domains | ₹ 4,300 |
| cPanel/WHM — 100 Domains | ₹ 5,500 |
| Plesk — 10 Domains | ₹ 1,550 |
| Plesk — 30 Domains | ₹ 2,000 |
| Plesk — Unlimited Domains | ₹ 4,500 |
| DirectAdmin | ₹ 2,000 |
| Webmin / Virtualmin | Free |
| CentOS Web Panel | Free |
| No panel (pure SSH) | Free |
If you are hosting client sites and need per-account isolation, cPanel/WHM on AlmaLinux with CloudLinux is the combination we deploy most often.
If you are running a single application — a Laravel API, a Django app, a Node service — skip the panel entirely. A panel-free NGINX or LiteSpeed build gives you more RAM for the application and one less attack surface to patch. We provide fully managed support on servers with no control panel at all.
A physical Linux server in an Indian Tier IV datacentre with full root access, your choice of supported distribution and managed support, from ₹8,500 per month. Migration from your current provider is included.
