What makes you think it’s a “baremetal physical machine”? This description sounds very cloud-y to me.

I can KVM into it with a Lantronix Spider. I have dozens of them, and none of them have shown to be anything other than a physical machine; I can set up RAID myself, all the hardware data is passed through (there are no hypervisor layers in between).

I would be incredibly impressed if it was not baremetal.

I do have one dislike, which is how harshly they enforce mac addresses (so spinning up new VMs and bridging them into the network gets that mac blocked until you register it in the API or panel). And I guess the other dislike is that they're only in Europe, which is 200ms from me.
