What is a bare metal server?

• Bare metal indicates virtual hosting. The metal
  refers to the hardware of the hosting which is
  bare, that is, clean and without any software or
  operating system installed on it. This is
  different from other kinds of web hostings which
  run on operating system and connections to public
  cloud.
• The bare metal server can thus be directly
  installed on any virtual machine and used. Bare
  metal allows full customization and complete
  isolation.

How does the bare metal environment operate?

• The bare metal doesnt have the operating system
  on it. Thus the website runs directly on the
  hardware. Thus only the website is run on the
  hardware and no other tasks are performed on the
  hardware. There are several benefits to the
  website from a bare metal server. They are
• Customization Using bare metal is very
  liberating. Since no operating system is
  involved, the hardware can be customised the way
  you want to. You can allocate all the resources
  only to one task or distribute it equally to all
  the tasks. You can customise the whole hosting
  the way you want to.

• High security The bare metal server runs only on
  the hardware and thus no other software or
  application runs on it, there are no chances that
  the website data can be harmed by any other
  program. The website is extremely secure and
  doesnt have any threat from any external
  malware.
• Cost effective The virtual server, dedicated
  server or shared hosting might appear to be cost
  effective, but it is not. The resources get
  exhausted in running other programs on it. One
  data transfer from the website to the data centre
  and back to the website has to go through a lot
  of step while on the bare metal server, the
  communication is extremely direct. This reduces
  the time and the cost that goes in the
  operational part of the website.
