GorillaServers Review 2026: Bare Metal Power, Unmetered Bandwidth, Starting at $99/mo

You're shopping for a dedicated server. You've got a spreadsheet open with six different hosts, and every single one is promising "blazing fast performance" and "world-class support." It all starts to blur together.

Then you land on GorillaServers.

No flashy marketing copy. No stock photos of smiling IT guys. Just a list of servers, prices, and specs — and the prices are... surprisingly low. Low enough to make you squint and scroll back up to check you're reading it right.

So what's the deal? Is GorillaServers actually legit, or is this one of those "too good to be true" situations where the catch reveals itself three months later?

I dug in. Here's what I found.

Who Is GorillaServers?

GorillaServers, Inc. is a self-owned dedicated server provider that's been running since 2009. That's over 15 years in the hosting business — long enough to have survived multiple industry shake-ups, seen competitors come and go, and figured out what actually matters to customers.

They operate out of two primary locations: Ogden, Utah and Los Angeles, California. They own and manage their own infrastructure at both sites, which is a big deal — it means no middlemen, no blaming a third-party data center when something breaks, and more control over pricing.

The Ogden facility spans over 100,000 square feet of data center space. The LA location sits in Equinix LA3, optimized specifically for Asian and global network traffic. Between the two, they cover a solid range of geographic use cases.

Over the years, they've provided thousands of servers to more than 3,000 customers. Not a giant enterprise player, but absolutely not a fly-by-night operation either.

What Makes GorillaServers Different?

A few things stand out immediately when you look at their offering.

They own everything. Their network, hardware, and facilities are all self-managed. No reselling, no shared risk with a landlord host. This tends to translate into faster support response times and more predictable performance.

Unmetered bandwidth is the default. Almost all their servers come with unmetered bandwidth — meaning 24/7, 100% port usage with zero overages. For anyone running high-traffic workloads, media streaming, backups, or data-heavy SaaS apps, this is not a small thing.

Instant provisioning on most plans. Select their instant-deploy inventory and your server is live in roughly 15 minutes. No waiting a week for "custom configuration."

No setup fees, no contracts. Everything is month-to-month. You're not locked in.

Full out-of-band access. Every server includes IPMI/KVM, giving you remote power control, OS reloads, and console access even when the OS is completely unresponsive. This is something budget hosts often charge extra for — here it's included.

The Server Lineup (With Real Prices)

Let's get into the actual plans, because this is where GorillaServers gets interesting.

AMD Ryzen Dedicated Servers — Ogden

👉 See EPYC server plans and order now

That 10Gbps unmetered dual-EPYC config at $799/mo is the kind of hardware that would cost $2,000+ elsewhere. If you're running a private cloud, virtualization cluster, or high-frequency trading infrastructure, this is worth a very close look.

GPU & AI Dedicated Servers — Ogden

This is newer territory for GorillaServers, and honestly, a smart move. AI inference, model fine-tuning, rendering, and ML workloads need GPUs, and renting cloud GPU time is brutally expensive.

RTX 5060 Build

• AMD Ryzen 7950X (16C/32T)

• 96GB DDR5 RAM

• 960GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe

• RTX 5060 GPU

• 1Gbps Unmetered

• Starting at $229/mo

RTX 3090 Build

• AMD Ryzen 7950X (16C/32T)

• 64GB DDR5 RAM

• 4TB NVMe

• RTX 3090 GPU

• 1Gbps Unmetered + /29 IPv4

• Starting at $259/mo

RTX 5090 Build (Flagship)

• AMD Ryzen 7950X (16C/32T)

• 96GB DDR5 RAM

• 3.84TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe

• RTX 5090 GPU

• 1Gbps Unmetered

• Starting at $329/mo

👉 Grab a GPU dedicated server for AI workloads

An RTX 5090-equipped bare metal server for $329/mo is aggressive pricing. For context: a single month of comparable GPU cloud compute (say, an A100 instance) often runs $1,500–$3,000+ depending on the provider.

High Capacity Storage Servers — Ogden

If what you need isn't raw compute but raw storage — backups, archives, media libraries, NAS-style setups — this is where GorillaServers really carves out a niche.

Entry Storage

• Intel Xeon W-1250 (6C/12T)

• 64GB DDR4 ECC

• 960GB NVMe + 4 × 26TB HDD

• 1Gbps Port

• Starting at $129/mo

Mid Storage — 12 × 10TB SAS

• Dual Xeon E5-2630v4 (20C/40T)

• 128GB RAM

• 120TB raw (12 × 10TB) with HW RAID or JBOD

• Starting at $149/mo

Large Storage — 12 × 28TB SATA

• Dual Xeon E5-2630v4

• 336TB raw capacity

• Unmetered bandwidth

• Starting at $359/mo

Massive Storage — 36 × 28TB SATA

• Dual Xeon E5-2630v4

• Over 1 Petabyte raw

• Starting at $999/mo

👉 Explore the full storage server lineup

A petabyte of storage for under $1,000/mo on owned hardware. If you've ever priced out cloud object storage at that scale (spoiler: it's not pretty), you understand why this is a big deal.

Network Performance

GorillaServers runs its own AS (AS53850). The network is built with:

• 1Gbps to 10Gbps dedicated port options

• BGP routing with premium upstream providers

• Noction Intelligent Routing — real-time path optimization to minimize latency

• Free private networking between servers (useful for clusters)

• IPv6 /64 per server included on request

• IPv4 add-ons at $2 per usable address

The Ogden data center provides excellent US domestic performance and decent global reach. The LA facility at Equinix LA3 is specifically tuned for Asia-Pacific traffic — lower latency to Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore, and Hong Kong than you'd get from most central-US hosts.

What Real Users Say

Community feedback from Web Hosting Talk and LowEndTalk paints a fairly consistent picture.

One long-term customer on Web Hosting Talk noted they had been paying triple the price elsewhere for equivalent hardware before switching to GorillaServers, calling the hardware, network, and support at that price point "amazing." Another user on LowEndTalk reported solid uptime north of 99.8% and praised how quickly the team replaced faulty components.

The general consensus: support is in-house and responsive, hardware issues get resolved fast, and the pricing genuinely holds up — there's no hidden catch that surfaces a few months in.

Critical notes are rare but exist: the IPMI access being on public IPs (rather than a dedicated management network) has been flagged by some users as a security consideration worth planning around.

Who Should Look at GorillaServers?

GorillaServers hits a specific sweet spot: people or teams who need real bare metal performance, unmetered bandwidth, and full control — without the enterprise pricing.

That includes hosting resellers building out client infrastructure, developers who need a beefy box they can actually configure themselves, AI/ML teams that are tired of unpredictable cloud GPU bills, media companies with heavy storage needs, and small businesses that have outgrown shared or VPS hosting.

It's not the flashiest company in the space. There's no slick onboarding wizard or hand-holding. You're expected to know what you need and configure it yourself. But if you do, the value proposition is hard to beat.

Final Take

GorillaServers has been doing this for over 15 years. The pricing isn't low because they're cutting corners — it's low because they own their infrastructure outright and don't pay a middleman. The server inventory is real, updated regularly, and competitively specced with current-gen AMD hardware and even RTX 5090 GPU configurations.

The month-to-month model, zero setup fees, and included IPMI access make it easy to try without commitment.

If you've been comparing dedicated server hosts and keep getting sticker shock, GorillaServers is absolutely worth putting on the shortlist.
