UK Dedicated Servers
For those of you who have not noticed, we have launched a new range of dedicated servers that are proving very popular indeed! As always we strive to provide the best possible service to our customers, and for this reason we decided to go with the Dell Poweredge range of dedicated servers connected to our Cisco powered backbone. All our dedicated servers are built to order within 24 hours meaning all our customers can benefit from fully bespoke systems without the high costs and setup times usually associated. We have four base packages to choose from, and they are based around the Poweredge R200, R300 and 1950 range of servers.
EX-DED 1 - Dual Core Intel Xeon, 1GB RAM, 1 x 160GB SATA HDD
EX-DED 2 - Quad Core Intel Xeon, 2GB RAM, 2 x 250GB SATA HDD
EX-DED 3 - Quad Core Intel Xeon, 4GB RAM, 2 x 500GB SATA HDD, Hardware RAID
EX-DED 4 - 2 x Quad Core Intel Xeon, 8GB RAM, 2 x 500GB SATA HDD, Hardware RAID
These are our 4 main base packages, however we have many upgrade options available including HD upgrades to higher capacity drives or SAS drives, memory upgrades, and CDP Backup options.
All the servers come with 24/7 KVM over IP and Remote Reboot as standard. These two important features ensure that you have full control over your server, just as if you were standing in front of it, they provide a backdoor into the server should there be a problem. For example, if for some reason your server becomes unresponsive, you would usually have to open a support ticket and request a reboot, with the remote reboot port simply login to the interface and push the power cycle button! Similarly if you have made a mistake in your network configuration, you can simply login via the KVM over IP (Keyboard, Video, Mouse over Internet Protocol) and modify the settings as if its your local machine. These two features make sure you are never locked out of your server! These features are available through our VPN service ensuring that these tools are kept safe and away from hackers.
Of course as always cPanel is available for an additional fee, but if you prefer something simpler we can offer Webmin which is a free control panel. If you are a Windows fan, we can offer you Windows Server 2003 Standard with our dedicated servers. All prices shown are for unmanaged servers, however for an additional £50.00pm we can offer a fully managed service where we take full control of your server so you don’t have to worry about patches, security updates, software issues, software installs, monitoring and all the worries that come with a dedicated server!
These servers are currently only available at our BlueSquare datacentre, however we have plans to expand to a docklands datacentre (TBA) in the near future, giving customers a choice in where they want the equipment located.
As always if you have any questions, just open a support ticket!
Happy Hosting!
