If you need a dedicated platform to develop a large application, we can provide all the performance, reliability and security you need. You'll get a dedicated server with mirrored or RAID drives, nightly backup, redundant UPS battery and generator backup and full 24x7 monitoring. We'll install either Windows 2008 running IIS or Linux (Apache web server). MySQL, Firebird, SQL server, Joomla and other applications are optional.

We can also configure geographically distributed, redundant servers that are appropriate for large applications that get millions of hits a day. Contact us for details.

If all you need is space on a web server and bandwidth, we offer several hosting packages that will suit your needs. These packages are designed for customers who have the in-house technical skills to operate and maintain their own website, and develop their own applications, databases and scripts.

Scenario One: a dedicated web, database and email server. In this scenario, we would provide a server on a month to month rate that could be used to host your website, a product database and your email. We would take care of OS patches, backups, hardware maintenance and monitoring. You would have remote admin access to manage the server, or you could let us take care of software installation and maintenance.

Scenario Two: Colocated Server. In this scenario, you would purchase the server, or relocate your existing server to our data center. We can manage it for you, or you can have remote access. We can take care of hardware maintenance, or allow escorted access to you in the event that hardware maintenance is required.

Scenario Three: One or more dedicated servers with a stand-alone network. In this scenario, you need to additional security and isolation, and possibly a VPN connection to your servers. We can setup a dedicated firewall and block of IP addresses that will isolate your servers to a separate LAN.

Call us with your requirements - we will customize a solution for you.

In all of the above scenarios, we can provide the software and operating system, or you can buy your own software licenses. In the case of Microsoft licenses, as a service provider, we are required to use their SPLA (Service Provider License Agreement) which is more like a monthly rental. This applies to all Microsoft products, including Windows Server, MSSQL, Exchange and CRM.
