That's fair but I believe you're getting too into the semantics of the word vs related expectation.
Dedicated/dedi is already accepted as "guaranteed resources". Dedicated Server is usually accepted as similar to or equivalent to bare-metal, but realistically usually means with the expectation that the resources are dedicated to you and it's the entire server whereas bare-metal means "installed on the metal" aka, includes the expectation the software stack doesn't include a hypervisor in-between.
Like I get the reason why people are so stuck on this "virtual vs bare-metal" and it makes sense if you're only looking at it from the surface. But once you actually get under the hood based on userbase, expectations, and just Incognet's actual business operations then what you find is that it doesn't really matter. The attraction of Incognet (and their entire market sector) is a focus on privacy, but based on the structure of the business, operations, and minimal data collected on you as the client in order to service your needs. If you're a new client, sure you might complain that dedicated should equal bare metal, all clients have, to some extent, already accepted the technical risks associated with virtualization it just doesn't really matter.
A little bit of Necromancy, sorry!
I am just curious what OP @MannDude has decided to do.
Are they scrapping the idea or have they been working on it? I haven't seen anymore discussion past this thread, else I just haven't been paying attention.
These past several months, I am sure it's made some progress if they are still working on it.
Scrapped it, basically.
Focus is now on VPN stuff and preparation for our Kansas City expansion.
I think virtual dedicated severs are great.
I think for an amateur in virtualization like me, would've preferred using it.
No need to config from scratch, cheaper prices (relatively)
There'll be always buyer if you sell it in a right markets
