Dedicated servers allow clients to have a full server which is not shared with other clients allowing for more customisation and resources. All servers are fully managed with additional management elements available for those who prefer to use the server as a large multiple domain hosting account.
These packages are suited to clients who:
- have websites which require more power/resources than our shared hosting can provide
- wish to customise their hosting environment
- are web hosting providers and wish to provide their own reseller packages
- do not wish to be hosted on the same physical machine as other clients
The server specifications below can be used as a base for customisation according to your requirements. Save money - take advantage of our current promotion!

|---|---|---|---|
| Chassis | HP Blade (half-height) | HP Blade (half-height) | HP Blade (full-height) |
|
We purchase server grade hardware from HP based on their revolutionary Bladesystem technology. |
|||
| CPU | 1x Intel Xeon E5420 | 2x Intel Xeon E5420 | 2x Intel Xeon E5420 |
|
We use quad core Intel Xeon CPU's in our servers which have shown this superiority over their AMD rivals in the role of web hosting server tasks. |
|||
| RAM | 4 GB | 6 GB | 8 GB |
|
RAM is a core component to servers and allows applications to be executed at full speed without any bottlenecks. |
|||
| Hardware RAID | Yes | Yes | Yes |
|
RAID allows multiple physical hard drives to run as one storage device where data is mirrored across multiple drives. Due to this, a hard drive can suffer a complete failure without any data loss or downtime. Servers with hotswap capability can have the drive swapped and RAID array rebuilt without any service interupption. |
|||
| Primary storage | 2x 146 GB SAS | 2x 300 GB SAS | 4x 300 GB SAS |
|
The primary storage is used for the operating system and all server files and settings. In a general web hosting environment we have found SAS drives in a hardware RAID array to be extremely high performance and capable or writing/reading data at very high speeds. |
|||
| Secondary storage | 80 GB NAS | 80 GB NAS | 160 GB NAS |
|
All servers come with a gigabit network link to our high capacity NAS server which allows backups to be stored outside of the server. Backups are taken daily with daily, weekly and monthly archives stored (space allowing). |
|||
| Data transfer | 1000 GB | 1000 GB | 2000 GB |
|
Data transfer is the amount of data that can enter or leave the server to/from the internet in general. We provide real time usage graphs to show the data transfer trends along with all usage figures. Note that our data transfer is calculated on an "in + out" basis. |
|||
| Setup fee | £300 | £300 | £600 |
|
The setup fee is a one off fee to cover initial hardware installation, software install and configuration and other tasks associated with putting a new server online. We are able to accept different payment schedules whereby the setup fee can be decreased in return for an increased monthly fee. |
