| Dedicated Server FAQ |
|
What are the advantages of a dedicated server? |
| Although a dedicated server is more expensive than a shared hosting account, it provides several significant benefits. You can host potentially hundreds of websites with a dedicated server; this is especially advantageous to professionals like Web designers who can host their clients without having to pay additional monthly charges for each website. If you have a very large website, a dedicated server offers huge storage and bandwidth capabilities; all of the server's resources are allocated entirely to your application, enabling you to offer features and service levels that go beyond the standard power capabilities of a shared hosting account. |
Who handles system administration for the server? |
| You are responsible for server administration. Plesk 7 Reloaded control panels are included standard on all dedicated servers, and can handle most server administration tasks through an easy-to-use Web-based interface. Certified support technicians are available for advanced tasks at reasonable hourly rates. |
Will I be able to install my own software? |
| Yes, you will have full command-line access to the server and can compile and install your own software. |
What happens if I exceed my allotted monthly data transfer? |
| Additional data transfer is $2 per GB, with volume discounts available. |
Can you install additional RAM or hard disks in the server? |
| Yes. Contact us for details. |
How long does it take to get set up? |
| Set up typically takes 24-48 hours, and is subject to availability. |
