Everything you need to deploy and manage bare metal servers with RAW.

Getting Started

Go from zero to a running server in under 60 seconds.

1. Sign up

Create your account using the CLI or the REST API.

CLI

$ npm install -g rawhq
$ raw init
  Email: you@company.com
  ✓ Signed in. Region auto-set to eu.

cURL

curl -X POST https://api.rawhq.io/signup \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email": "you@company.com"}'

2. Deploy a server

Pick a server type and region, then deploy. Your server is live in seconds.

CLI

$ raw deploy --type raw-5 --region eu
  ✓ Server live: 49.13.xx.xx (13s)
  ✓ SSH ready — root access enabled
  $5/mo · Cancel anytime

cURL

curl -X POST https://api.rawhq.io/deploy \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"type": "raw-5", "region": "eu"}'

3. Connect

SSH into your server with the CLI or any SSH client.

CLI

$ raw ssh my-server
root@my-server:~#

SSH

$ ssh root@49.13.xx.xx

Or use npx rawhq deploy without installing the CLI globally.
