How to Choose a Dedicated Hosting Service

Organizations in need of dedicated hosting have many options to choose from. When evaluating dedicated hosting providers and making a selection, it’s helpful to think in terms of two broad criteria:

• How the dedicated hosting service is delivered. Is the service easy to purchase and easy to use, and are the dedicated hosting solutions flexible enough to meet all your needs?
• The quality of the data center. Will the dedicated hosting provider’s data center deliver the uptime, the scalability, and the security that you require?

StrataScale^® Dedicated Hosting Solutions

StrataScale is a premier provider of enterprise-class dedicated hosting solutions. We offer several types of dedicated hosting service:

• Automated Managed Hosting. StrataScale’s Automated Managed Hosting takes managed hosting services to new levels of convenience, control, and flexibility. Through the powerful StrataScale web portal you can provision your dedicated servers with pre-licensed operating systems and enterprise applications, assign storage volumes, and configure ACLs and other firewall policies – in just a few minutes, with just a few clicks. You can just as easily take system snapshots, perform upgrades and rollbacks, and move servers between development, testing, and production environments. Our advanced automation technologies set StrataScale apart from other hosting providers.
• Cloud hosting services. StrataScale leverages the latest virtualization technologies to offer a full suite of highly elastic cloud server hosting solutions, including Public Cloud (virtual server hosting on shared physical resources), Private Cloud (virtual servers on dedicated physical resources), and Hybrid Cloud (a networked combination of Automated Managed Hosting, Public Cloud, and Private Cloud assets). Cloud computing companies seldom offer such a range of cloud types.
• Unmanaged dedicated hosting. If you want your hosted servers to be administered by your own sys admins, StrataScale offers low cost unmanaged dedicated hosting.
