Who should choose a Dedicated Server?

Dedicated Servers are designed for companies that have the in-house capability to manage a web server but need enhanced network capacity and performance. Dedicated Servers eliminate the need to design and build a private infrastructure while providing you with direct backbone connectivity, redundancy and network monitoring.

Why choose Dedicated Server Hosting instead of Virtual or Shared Hosting?

In the Internet business world, a Web site is only as good as the server it's hosted on. Many high-profile businesses with technologically complex Web sites fall into the dark hole of a "virtual server," only to realize that they are stuck with its limited capabilities due to the shared environment. While we keep our virtual servers lightly loaded, a Dedicated solution will offer unrivaled control and flexibility.

What can I do with a Dedicated Server?

You can deploy sophisticated applications, like databases, streaming media servers, hi-end email solutions and more. You also have the ability to host multiple sites and domains on one machine creating an instant virtual hosting company.

A Dedicated Server allows for faster access to your information and services and provides you with greater flexibility in adding advanced web, database, and e-commerce applications. Other applications such as e-mail servers, message boards, chat software, and streaming services can be easily installed on your own server.
