Dedicated Server

Initial Setup

Here is what will happen when you place an order for a Dedicated Server. First, we must note that your server will come entirely configured along with the applications that you have selected. We are fully capable of installing and configuring MSSQL Express edition, MySQL server, IIS, DNS, MailEnable, cPanel, Apache, Nginx, Exim, LiteSpeed, xVarnish, Redis and much more at no additional cost for you. However, all third-party application installations are subject to review and may incur a reasonable fee depending on their complexity. Additionally, all our servers undergo a necessarily rigorous security hardening procedure, as well as coming with an immensely useful library of customized scripts that we can use to automate the most tedious of necessary tasks, such as log file rotation.

Ongoing Updates

We fully understand that our responsibility does not merely end with the initial setup of your server. Updating and maintaining the server is the utmost important task necessary for maintaining the security and integrity of your server. To keep your server secured and up-to-date, our team of experts will install OS updates and security patches on regular basis for managed clients and on-request for self managed clients. Regular patching of your servers can prevent you from known issues like defacing, spamming, phishing, malware attacks, DDos attacks, Content injection, Interception and much more. Website security updates can be frustrating to implement, but they ultimately prevent cyber criminals crow-barring their way into your online business and causing damage.

Expert Advice

In an always moving world, you may need support at any hour of the day (or night). Thus, our technicians are available 24/7/365 to provide you with expert advice regarding all server related issues or technical questions that you may have. We also have many domain-specific experts, who are technical wizards at managing installations of WordPress, Magento, Joomla, Drupal (and much more), which will ensure that there is no fuss in your hosting experience. Of course, we do not stop there: we are incredibly happy to put our knowledge to use in providing you with recommendations regarding a­nything from upgrades to performance improvements and third-party software. Just ask!

Hardware Replacement

Our servers run with some of the best hardware on the planet. That’s no small claim, but that also does not mean that hardware issues will never happen. Should they occur, however, then we will happily and dutifully repair or replace any defective elements and make sure to restore your server to perfect working order in the smallest amount of time possible. We consistently maintain an ample inventory of spare parts and servers, to ably deal with near any eventuality or hardware issue that may arise due to practically any uncertain or unforeseen circumstances.

Software Installs

Setting up the software is not necessarily simple - especially when dealing with the minutiae and complexity of a fully operational dedicated server. To aid you in this oft-complex procedure, we typically install most of the software packages for our clients at absolutely no additional charge. We can, for example, skillfully and correctly install MSSQL Express edition, MySQL server, IIS, DNS, Control Panel (excluding its license charge), MailEnable, Apache, Nginx, Exim, LiteSpeed, xVarnish, and Redis. Also, should you be looking farther afield at the immense array of third party applications, there is utterly no need to stress. We will diligently direct our best efforts to the installation of third-party applications for you. However, due to the potential complexity of several third-party apps, we always reserve the right to charge a reasonable one-time fee for their installation if deemed necessary.

Free Migration

Data is always on the move - and it truly pays to have experts on hand to migrate data when necessary professionally. We have performed countless server migrations, and we know from hard-won experience that any adequately executed server migration requires extensive planning, and many hours of conscientious and diligent work by expert server administrators to perform such a demanding task correctly. That is, to speak plainly: a good server migration is an immensely time-consuming project. Migration support is free for the first three (3) hours. However, if it takes longer, it will be billable at the reasonable rate of $30 USD/hour.
