Dedicated servers
A dedicated server gives you complete control over your server without the hassle of buying your own hardware. You get root access, we take care of the hardware.
With rising data centre power prices, power consumption is everything. We've carefully selected a range of energy efficient servers that we can offer at extremely competitive prices. Our entry-level servers are available for just over £18 per month, with prices for servers with hot-swap hardware RAID and 8GB RAM starting at £100 per month (prices quoted exclusive of VAT, and based on annual payment)
Use our Server Configuration Page to get an immediate price for a server to your specification, or read on for more information on the service we provide.
Features
Our dedicated servers come with a range of features that many other providers charge extra for -- if they offer them at all.
- Instant, unlimited power cycles. All of our servers are connected to remote reboot switches. If you need to power cycle your server, simply log into our control panel, press the button and it's done. No delays waiting for an engineer to get to your machine, and you can press it as many times as you need to!
- Server recovery. All of our servers come with a server recovery mechanism that allows you to recover your server even if it looses network connectivity or becomes unbootable. On our high-end servers, this is a serial console, whereas our entry-level servers are provided with a net-boot recovery mode.
- Email and SMS server monitoring. Our dedicated server packages include ping monitoring of your server with SMS and email alerts in the event of a failure.
