Colocation Hosting

What is Colocation?

Supply us with your own server, and we supply the data center and connection. We provide a location to keep your server secure, with automated backup, air conditioning and a fast, reliable connection to the internet. Space is priced by the size of the server the smallest being around 1u (this is the height) and the largest being around 10u.

What is Rack Space?

Very much the same as colo (above) but instead of one or two single servers, a certain amount of the complete rack(s) is leased. Either a half rack (minimum 22u) or a complete rack (minimum 44u) is available.

What is a Dedicated Server?

A dedicated server is an individual machine that is used solely by a single customer. This should not be confused with a virtual dedicated server which uses software to allow multiple customers to control a portion of the machine.

We have discovered that quite a few customers have been misled by previous providers. Customers have assumed that use of an administrator panel provided access to a dedicated server, when in all actuality, this has proven to be an interface to a shared server. Dedicated server pricing has declined over the years, making this option much more appealing.

Why Choose Managed Hosting?

Hosting your servers in a colocated facility is a cost effective and reliable way, for any business, to be up and running fast!! As your business and your competition grows, dealing with the complexities involved in maintaining your own network infrastructure can become a costly and time consuming activity.

This gives you the time and resources to focus on what's most important — growing your business!!

Complete Control

We build and maintain your server in our data center. Complete software and application control can be maintained by your technical team. We will manage the hardware and network infrastructure so you don't have to.

Rapid Deployment

We provide the server, Operating System software, and all necessary infrastructure to deploy a high-performance server for your particular application or business need.

Virtual IT Staff

We are responsible for the network operations and hardware maintenance. If your server experiences a hardware failure, we correct the problem and return your server to full operational status.

24 x 7 x 365 Support

Our Network Operations Center (NOC) is manned around the clock, 365 days a year. All dedicated servers are monitored by our NOC 24 x 7. Any hardware failures or network problems are immediately detected and responded to. Ping monitoring in 3-minute intervals is included. More comprehensive monitoring services are available.

Financial Benefits

In the end, the up-front costs are lower compared to time and labor involved in deploying your own server and network infrastructure. A dedicated server is a non-taxable service and expense, rather than an asset.
