Hardware

As with choosing the operating system or software for your dedicated server, hardware requirements depend on your website's current and future needs. The highest quality server hardware not only ensures a stable and reliable hosting platform, it ensures a piece of mind. NetDepot goes through rigorous testing of its hardware to make sure it is at peak performance.

Memory

Having a large amount of Memory is important to any web hosting server but especially to any dedicated server hosting plan. RAM (or Random Access Memory) is basically computer data storage that allows a user to access any "memory" on the server. The more RAM, the faster your server is going to run and the quicker your website will load.

RAID

RAID protects you and your data from drive failures. The easiest way to protect your server and your data from hard drive failure is by mirroring the drive(s). The process is simple: one drive has the exact same information as the other, and if one fails, the other is still up and running. NetDepot offers multiple RAID solutions that best suits you.

Storage

Your mission-critical data is the heartbeat of your business. Effective data storage and back-up procedures are imperative for business stamina. NetDepot several fast and high-performing types of hard drives including: SCSI, SATA and SSD. SATA drives are best for high bandwidth, fast processors and large Web site storage. SCSI drives are best for multi-user systems, heavy database usage and gaming Web sites. SSDs are excellent for caching tiers needed for large data set processing.

Various types of hard drives sizes are available. Prices vary based on the product ordered.

Network

NetDepot's network infrastructure provides customers with reliable connectivity and unmatched performance. It includes around-the-clock monitoring, notification and reporting. With multiple redundancies in the flow of information to and from the data center and separate entry points into the data center for every fiber carrier, NetDepot provides a 100% network uptime guarantee.

Bandwidth

All of NetDepot's dedicated servers come with 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps burstable bandwidth*. Burstable dedicated servers do not restrict the amount of bandwidth that you are permitted to use in a month, thereby allowing your website to grow as massive as needed without costing you an arm and a leg. Bandwidth overages are a thing of the past, and now you can focus on your core business.

Firewall

Firewalls carve a division between the public internet and your dedicated servers in order to protect your hosting environment from malicious or unwanted traffic. NetDepot proudly offers Cisco ASA firewalls for their delivery of consistent and reliable, best-in-breed performance.

IP Addresses

Think of IP addresses as address numbers for the web. They tell the world who you are and how to find you. NetDepot dedicated servers come with up to five IP addresses free of charge. Host as many sites as you want on one IP, but there might be reasons you need more. NetDepot gives you the option to purchase additional IP addresses at any time. This allows you the flexibility of having more addresses available for virtualization, SSL certificates and other needs which cannot share an IP address.

Load Balancer

Slow response times can make or break a company. Server load balancing spreads the work of your dedicated server among two or more server, ensures near 100% high availability & reliability and increases network performance. Load balancing can be used for inbound Web site visits, inbound e-mail or any TCP or UDP protocol. NetDepot's load balancing option is a critical component to safeguarding your dedicated server's availability.
