Nocix is a budget-tier US bare metal provider rooted in Kansas City. Cheap dedicated servers, high bandwidth, low frills. Noded is a different product entirely — a network-first bare metal provider built around its own AS60982, RPKI-valid address space, BYOIP and BGP sessions, always-on DDoS protection, and engineer-led support. Both ship physical servers. Beyond that, they're not really competing for the same customer.
Why Noded Wins for Production Workloads
- Our own network, AS60982, with IP transit from an upstream carrier — bring your own ASN and announce your /24 to us over a BGP session; see our multi-homing guide.
- RPKI ROAs on every prefix we announce — all eight AS60982 /24s are RPKI-valid.
- Always-on DDoS protection at the network edge, included by default.
- Engineer-led support — the person reading your ticket understands BGP and RPKI.
- Unmetered ports — no 95th percentile billing: dedicated servers take a guaranteed 1–200 Gbps port depending on the chassis, at a flat monthly price.
Where Nocix Sits
Nocix has built its reputation on aggressive pricing for dedicated servers and bandwidth. That's a real value for hosting resellers and budget operators. But aggressive pricing comes with predictable trade-offs: cost-optimized network design, generic ticket support, and DDoS protection that varies by tier. For workloads where those things don't matter, Nocix is fine. For production, those are the exact things that matter most.

Migrating to Noded
Moving from Nocix to Noded works like any server move. Noded servers are unmanaged, so you run the data migration and DNS cutover; if you hold your own /24, we announce it from AS60982 on a dedicated server once you provide a signed LOA and an RPKI ROA or IRR route object. Talk to us if you have questions about the network side.
