Methodology

BareMetalIndex compares dedicated/bare-metal providers with emphasis on network capacity, provisioning model, and pricing transparency.

Scoring dimensions

• Network profile (bandwidth model and geography)
• Provisioning speed and operational fit
• Pricing clarity (public plans vs quote-led)
• Use-case fit (enterprise vs cost-sensitive workloads)

Data is periodically re-verified; always confirm final pricing on provider checkout pages.
