West Michigan Web Design and Website Dedicated Hosting Servers

Why Dedicated Servers?
• Admin access: Install and run virtually anything on the server.
• Manage multiple Web sites: Host multiple Web sites on one server account.
• Versatility: A dedicated server/virtual dedicated server can be used for a wide variety of purposes, including gaming, virtual (i.e., shared) hosting, and hosting of traffic-intensive Web sites.

What is a virtual dedicated server?

Unlike normal hosting plans, which put many customers' accounts on a single server, a dedicated server is reserved exclusively for the account and usage of a single customer. This means that the dedicated server customer has exclusive rights to their server's bandwidth, memory, and storage space, and performance is not affected by traffic and the usage patterns of other customers.

When you purchase a dedicated server, you are actually leasing a server box that is configured and set up according to your preferences, but remains at our data center. A dedicated server account provides you with a dedicated IP address and full control of server usage and software installation, with admin (root) access to the server.

You can use a dedicated server for a wide variety of purposes, including gaming servers, database management, and traffic-intensive websites. Dedicated servers are particularly useful for companies and individuals who run very-high-traffic websites or applications and who need the bandwidth, versatility, and consistent performance of a dedicated box.

What is Assisted Service Plan for My Dedicated Server?

Assisted Service Plan is a dedicated server option that shifts the responsibility of set up, monitoring, maintenance, security, and patching of your dedicated server to our server support team. With Assisted Service Plan, custom support services are also available for an hourly rate. Assisted Service Plan dedicated servers remove your root/system-level access but allow control over all other aspects of your dedicated server.

Assisted Service Plan dedicated servers use Plesk control panel. Windows servers run the Windows Server 2003 Standard or Web Edition operating systems. Linux servers run Fedora 7, CentOS 4 or CentOS 5 operating systems. Assisted Service Plan can be purchased with or added to a dedicated server.

What Software is Installed on my Linux Dedicated Server?

The contents of your dedicated Linux server depends on what kind of Linux distribution you are using: CentOS 4, CentOS 5, Fedora 2, Fedora 4, Fedora 6, Fedora 7 or Red Hat Enterprise 4. Below is an overview of the packages deployed with your server, prior to optional control panel installation.

Dedicated servers with Plesk installed will have different configurations. For more information, see the SWSOFT Plesk datasheet below.
