Ubiquity Servers Review

admin — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 01:05:07 +0000

I’ve been using Ubiquity servers for years. Since theplanet was acquired by softlayer, their servers became too expensive and most small business or individual users can’t afford it. Then i found Ubiquity servers. Their data centers are fast and the servers are 99.9% uptime. Most of all, they have good customer service.

Top 4 important aspects to choose a dedicated server

1. Support
If you don’t want to regret, you must choose a famous dedicated server provide company which have

"Live chat" "7*24 hours" "Ticket" and "Free Telephone" Support.

If not, you’ll be frustrated when your server has problems and you can’t get support in time. "Time is Money", so please don’t take the risk to choose a dedicated server provider company without the above 4 support methods.

2. Reliability

Don’t beleive the 100% uptime advertisement! No server is 100% uptime, but there is some server which can keep on 99.99% uptime. We don’t know exactly the uptime, but we do know famous dedicated server provider has better management and higher uptime rate. My suggestion is to select a reputable dedicated server company such as The Planet or iWeb.

3. Speed

If you want a high speed, choose the nearer dedicated server data center, some companies have several data center, so you’d better ask them and choose the nearest data center to get a higher transfer speed.

4. Price

Don’t beleive the low price such as $39/m or $49/m from some dedicated server providers. Low price from them means worse service and support. So, be careful! If you care about price, please choos the special offer from iWeb and The planet.

What is a Dedicated Server?

A dedicated hosting service, dedicated server, or managed hosting service is a type of Internet hosting where the client leases an entire server not shared with anyone. This is more flexible than shared hosting, as organizations have full control over the server(s), including choice of operating system, hardware, etc. Server administration can usually be provided by the hosting company as an add-on service. In some cases a dedicated server can offer less overhead and a larger return on investment. Dedicated servers are most often housed in data centers, similar to colocation facilities, providing redundant power sources and HVAC systems. In contrast to collocation, the server hardware is owned by the provider and in some cases they will provide support for your operating system or applications. Read Wikipedia’s article about dedicated hosting for more information.

A dedicated server includes an operating system (mostly some variants of Linux or Windows) a Web server, related software (such as a SQL server, Control Panel and much more) and connection to the Internet, housed in the Web hosting company’s premises. It is typically required for a Web site or a group of related company sites that may develop a substantial amount of traffic. The server can usually be configured and operated remotely from the client company and you can customize the server to your own needs. It can be assigned to function only as a resource server and cannot be used as a client. The server is owned by the web host and you don’t have physical access to the server.

A dedicated web hosting is beneficial while developing a complex business or a high-end e-commerce site as you will need more space and security – a web server dedicated to your business. It is purchased by a company when they want more control of their server. They purchase or rent the hardware from the hosting company who then normally support and manage it. Internet connectivity is provided to the server, in many cases over 10 or 100 Mbit/s Ethernet. Dedicated servers are most often housed in data centres, similar to co-location facilities, providing redundant power sources and HVAC systems. You do not need a large initial investment to set it up.

Managed dedicated server and unmanaged dedicated server.

Commonly, unmanaged hosting plans include hardware, operating system, web server and Internet connection. Managed plans however include the basics and pretty much everything else that the only thing you need to worry about is your web site and content.

A dedicated server could also be a computer that manages printer resources. However, it is important to note that not all servers are dedicated. In some networks, it is possible for a computer to act as a server and perform other functions as well.

If you are looking for dedicated server hosting you should be careful while choosing the right specification and package. Things to consider are operating system, data backup and monitoring service, hardware options, space, bandwidth and technical support. Ask the hosting providers to give you a few website for references, read hosting reviews before you sign up and be sure that the price is affordable. We know that the dedicated servers on this site are the one that will give you the most reliability and flexibility for your money.
