If you’re looking for a bit more power, resources all to yourself and some seriously impressive hardware, a dedicated server might be exactly what you’re looking for.
We’ve got a range of dedicated servers to suit whatever your business or project needs – Intel or AMD servers, depending on your preference, and storage servers for those larger projects, all stacked with features to keep your business/project going.
But it’s not just about choosing the right server. You’ve got to make sure your hosting provider gives you all the features and more, like top-of-the-line security, reliability and performance that won’t let you down.
In this blog, we’ll take a look at everything we have as a hosting provider, to help you decide for yourself whether we’re the right choice for you.
Select a provider who’s always on hand
Imagine this. It’s 3am, your server has just crashed and no one on your team is awake to help. Revenue is lost, customers/users are frustrated. What do you do? Would you rather try and talk to a chatbot to solve your problem, or a human expert who will sort it out and make sure you’re up and running again quickly?
Having a real person to talk to when everything goes wrong is vital in these situations. You’re likely already very frustrated and trying to communicate with an emotionless robot in the middle of the night isn’t going to help that. Equally, waiting on hold for hours with that tedious music slowly driving you mad also won’t improve your mood. Or a customer service line that shuts at 5pm. It’s not realistic to assume that every person clocks off at 5pm, shuts their laptop down and that’s it until tomorrow. So having support around the clock is so important in today’s working world.
At Fasthosts, we’ve got experts on hand 24/7 to chat, provide support and fix whatever might be going on with your server or website. Whatever your question, whenever you’re working, there’s always someone there. You can give our team a call on 0800 0612 153, message via live chat or send us an email at sales@fasthosts.com.
Know where your data is kept
Your data security should be as important to your server provider as it is to you. That’s why the data centre your server is kept in should have all the best security features, both physical and virtual. Plus, you should know exactly where your data is stored as well, to give you the best performance and uptime possible.
Our data centres are all over the world, in the UK, USA, Germany and Spain, so no matter where you’re located you’ll have somewhere to rely on. And they’re full of security, performance and sustainability features.
For example, our data centre in Worcester is Tier IV certified, which is the highest certification for data centres. This means it’s rated top in security and performance. Not only that, but take a look at these other great features of this data centre:
- Powered by 100% renewable energy
- 99.999% availability
- Two diverse supplies from the grid
- Perimeter protection and complete CCTV coverage
- Certified security and fire rated doors
- ISO 27001 certified for information security
- ISO 50001 certified for energy management
Help you scale
The last thing you want to be doing after buying a server is running around trying to find out how to manage it. You’ll want it all in one place, so you can see what resources you have and make any decisions about scaling. We’ve already thought of that.
Our Control Panel gives you access to all your products, all under one roof. From servers to online marketing tools, you’ve got complete control over your products and can manage them whenever, wherever. Plus, of course, support is always available if something goes wrong or if you’ve got a question.
As well as this, you could become a Fasthosts Partner, or even a Reseller. Becoming a Partner means you get exclusive discounts on our products and the ability to manage all your clients in one account, without having multiple logins.
Or if being a Reseller sounds more like your thing, you can make money selling our products, with discounts for yourself, unlimited UK web space, email accounts and that all important 24/7 support.
Another few things to mention is that when you buy a dedicated server with us, you get Acronis Cyber Protect for free with any package, as well as full root access, unlimited traffic and no setup fees.
