Dedicated hosting offers the benefit of owning your own server without the hassle of dealing with the hardware. Clients rent an entire server which is not shared with any other organization. Dedicated Hosting is more flexible than a Virtual Private Server, as clients have full control over their server including: Operating System, Hardware, RAM, Hard Disks and RAID, Backup, etc.
Q: What is the setup process and how long will it take?
Nethosting's automated install system and experienced Tech Support will provide the initial install and configuration. Once installation is complete, the client is responsible for the administration of the server.
The standard hosting packages will be completed within 10 minutes. Dedicated Hosting including a Windows Operating System will take no longer than 20 minutes.
Q: What are clients able to do with a Dedicated Hosting server?
Dedicated Hosting is beneficial for clients needing to run a high availability website or custom software. The client does not share the hardware with any other client. Clients have complete freedom as to what software and applications are installed. Clients may host as many domains as their hardware allows and have full access to the core functions of the server.
Q: Is Support included with the standard Dedicated Hosting service?
The reliable Nethosting.com Tech Support team ensures that the hardware is working properly 24x7x365. We will immediately repair of replace any faulty hardware components. Additionally, the clients are able to install software, run services, and utilize the server. We're happy to help with configuration and software support for our regular billable rates.
A Virtual Private Server is a method of partitioning a physical server into multiple servers. Each server has the appearance and capabilities of running on its own dedicated machine including dedicated RAM, CPU and Disk Resources. Virtual Private Servers bridge the gap between a shared Virtual Hosting service and a Dedicated Hosting service. Virtual Private Servers offer clients independence from other clients on the VPS at a lesser cost than a Dedicated Server. VPS services offer clients an operating system to configure as they need. Each VPS runs as its own Virtual Machine.
Q: How does a Virtual Private Server differ from a Virtual Server?
VPS is useful when a customer needs more flexibility and performance than Virtual Hosting accounts provide. This allows customers to configure the Operating System (OS) with custom extensions or software that will not run or cannot be installed in the Virtual Hosting environment.
Q: Are there limitations on a Virtual Private Server?
Not Really. Pick the size that best suits your needs and you will be amazed at the performance.
Virtual Hosting consists of shared website and email hosting on one physical server. Multiple users host their websites and email on the same server. It provides customers a low cost alternative to dedicated website hosting. It also includes an easy to use interface and included system monitoring by our administration staff to ensure the reliability of the server hardware and systems. For many customers this is an ideal product because of the low cost, high reliability, ease of use, and because it eliminates the complexity of some dedicated hosting platforms.
Q: Who should use Virtual Hosting?
A Virtual Hosting account can be useful to anyone who wants to host a basic to moderately complex web page or wants a complete email hosting solution.
Q: How do I know if a Virtual Server is the right fit for my company?
For many organizations, Virtual Hosting is the ideal platform. With full featured web and email hosting and database integration, it is a great fit for hosting your company's blog, e-commerce store and much more.
