FiberState Dedicated Servers: Bare Metal from $34.95/mo, Instant Deploy, No-Nonsense Pricing

So here's how it usually goes when you're shopping for a dedicated server: you find a provider, get excited about the specs page, then spend 45 minutes clicking through a sales funnel before realizing the "starting from" price requires a three-year contract and a blood oath. Fun stuff.

FiberState is a bit different. And I say that not as someone who's paid to say it, but as someone who's spent way too long comparing bare metal hosting options and keeps landing back on the same conclusion.

What FiberState Actually Is

FiberState is a carrier-neutral data center operator based in Salt Lake City, Utah — and they actually own the building. Not "we partner with a facility," not "our servers are colocated at a third-party DC." Their own building, their own fiber, their own staff walking around at 3am if something goes sideways.

They've expanded to Los Angeles and New York too, so if latency to the West Coast or the East Coast matters to you (and for most production workloads, it does), you've got options.

The core services are dedicated/bare metal servers, colocation, and IP transit. No shared hosting, no WordPress-for-grandma packages. This is for people who actually need a real machine.

The Pricing That Made People Do a Double-Take

When FiberState first started showing up on forums like LowEndTalk and Web Hosting Talk, the response was basically "wait, is this real?" The entry-level Intel Xeon E3-1240v5 package — 32GB DDR4, 1TB NVMe, 1Gbps unlimited bandwidth, IPMI included — comes in at $34.95/month.

That's a complete bare metal server with full root access and remote management, for less than what some providers charge for a mid-tier VPS.

The lineup goes from there:

AMD Ryzen 7 5700G — 64GB DDR4, 1TB NVMe, 1Gbps unlimited — $49.95/mo

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (16 cores / 32 threads) — 128GB DDR5, 2TB NVMe, 1Gbps unlimited — $119.95/mo (SLC) or $149.95/mo (Los Angeles)

AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (16 cores / 32 threads) — 128GB DDR5, 2TB NVMe, 1Gbps unlimited — $179.95/mo (Salt Lake City), $199.95/mo (LA or New York)

Every plan includes a full IPv4 address, IPMI (so you can reboot, reinstall, and access the console remotely without calling anyone), and most include IPv6 as well.

Prepay and Save

If you're not on a month-to-month budget, FiberState offers two prepayment discounts that are quietly one of the better deals in the space:

• 6 months upfront: 5% off server + options

• 12 months upfront: 10% off server + options

On a $179.95/mo Ryzen 9 9950X, that's a savings of roughly $215 over the year if you pay annually. Not nothing.

The "Instant Deploy" Thing is Actually Instant

FiberState separates their catalog into "Instant Deploy" and "Customizable" servers. The instant deploy packages — the E3 and Ryzen 7 5700G at the entry level — go live within 15 minutes of payment. They're not lying about this. The OS installs itself, you get an email, you SSH in.

The customizable packages (everything with upgradeable options) take 24-48 hours for deployment since they're building to spec. Still fast, but worth planning around.

What Real Users Actually Said

One user on Web Hosting Talk who migrated from VPS to FiberState's $35/mo entry server put it this way: the price is great, the connection has been 99.9% stable, and it's "honestly the best server I experienced."

HostCram, a company that's been colocating custom hardware at FiberState since late 2023, wrote a detailed review describing the experience as one of their best vendor relationships ever — noting that the support team helped them physically configure a Juniper QFX switch, set up custom VLANs, and walked them through BGP sessions. Remote hands for small quick tasks were often handled at no charge.

Another user on LowEndTalk who runs a real-time online game (where even tiny ping spikes are immediately visible to players) said performance has been rock solid and keeps improving.

The most common complaint: popular configurations sell out. If you see the config you want, don't sit on it.

The Infrastructure Behind It

FiberState runs a carrier-neutral facility, which means they're not locked into one upstream provider and they're not playing favorites. On-site carriers include Cogent, Zayo, Lumen, GTT, and Hurricane Electric. Their network capacity exceeds 1 terabit, with port speeds available up to 100Gbps.

The facility in Draper/Salt Lake City has N+1 UPS battery protection, automatic standby generators, redundant Liebert HVAC systems, biometric access control, 24/7/365 on-site engineers, and on-site solar power integration. It's also positioned as a strong choice for AI and machine learning workloads — high-density power, custom cooling options, and the ability to run your own ASN with BGP routing directly from your server.

They operate under ASN AS26042 and have dark fiber assets to nearby facilities, plus private DWDM networking for the low-latency crowd.

Who This Is For

FiberState works well if you're a developer or small-to-medium tech business that needs actual hardware, not a shared environment. Game server operators, hosting resellers, companies running intensive compute tasks, anyone doing web scraping at scale, media transcoding, database-heavy applications — bare metal is the right call, and FiberState is the right price point for bare metal.

It's not managed hosting. You're getting root access and a real machine; what you do with it is on you. If you've never administered a Linux server, this isn't the place to start learning. But if you have basic-to-intermediate sysadmin skills, you're going to get a lot of server for the money.

Reseller discounts are also available if you're running a larger operation — contact FiberState directly via their client portal.
