root server / informations
which advantages does a root server have?
security
root servers offer a maximum of security to your data and services. Because of the fact that only you maintain your root server and setup the configuration of the system, the occurance of incidents induced by other customerse or users of the root server is totally excluded.
performance
All root server ressources are available to you. In difference to virtual servers you do not share your cpu time, or memory and disk io with other users. Your applications are not disturbed by other scripts or applications which other users may run as it would be possible within a vserver
controlling and security
You decide which software you use on your dedicated root server and so you can install any software that you require to fullfill your needs. You can decide which users are granted access to your root server and you can setup your own policies to make sure your data is secure!
scalability
If you have chosen a dedicated root server and you are determining that you need more
resources this is not a big issue. We can upgrade the server to satisfy your growing demands and upgrade
the root server with additional hardware to please your requirements.
If your application demands it, we can configure multiple root servers to act as a cluster
with software like openmosix and others, to provide a scalabe and flexible solution to your applications
requirement.
total cost of ownership
A big advantage of renting dedicated root servers is the low price and the small total
cost of ownership. If you plan to setup a high-end website, you will need one or more high performance
servers, a fast connection to the internet with a lot of bandwidth and the staff to guarantee a smoothly
running service which includes high running costs.
If you outsource your applications to us, you can benefit from our expertise and location and save money,
because you only pay a small monthly price. Additional costs are only billed if you exceed the contracted
free traffic limits.
