Dedicated Server Deals

Renting a dedicated server gives you full power and total control over your server infrastructure. Built on the latest technology with enterprise-grade hardware, Dedicated Server hosting gives your projects the highest levels of performance. Pick from the latest Intel Xeon processors and choose the resource levels for your project's demands. And with root access you have free choice of Windows and Linux operating systems.

A UK Dedicated Server is just like having your own on-premises hardware in an office or server room. You can easily log in as an administrator, install software and manage data. If you just want to get going quickly with standard functions like hosting websites or email, it’s simple to add a server management tool like Plesk Obsidian.

For any project that needs a little more power behind it, a Dedicated Server will do just fine. You might be setting up a gaming server, doing some database management, managing multiple websites or simply handling high traffic. For more details on the uses of a Dedicated Server, head over to our in-depth blog post.

There’s a number of reasons why you might need to upgrade to a Dedicated Server. Maybe you’ve noticed that your website performance is running a little bit slower recently or you might be gaining clients and adding their websites to your own server. Perhaps, business is going great and your website traffic has gone through the roof. All of these reasons mean it could be time for an upgrade.

Your choice of dedicated server operating system will most likely come down to which tools you prefer to use. For example, if you want to build websites with WordPress or you need to use advanced scripting like Ruby or Python, Linux is usually the best option. But if your project requires ASP.NET or other Microsoft-based technologies, you should probably select Windows.

ECC stands for error-correcting code. ECC RAM is a specialised type of memory that fixes common errors that can potentially lead to corrupted data or system crashes. This makes ECC RAM an excellent choice for dedicated web hosting that runs business-critical applications.

Hard disk drives, or HDDs, are traditional storage devices that use spinning disks to house data.

Solid-state drives, or SSDs, store data on microchips instead, so they can load that data much quicker. Our storage servers allow you to hold large amounts of data without hard disk drives.

NVMe stands for Non-Volatile Memory Express and is the latest, fastest technology that SSDs use to access data. If you need faster data read and write speeds, you should choose SSD storage, perhaps with NVMe for the very best performance. If, however, overall data capacity is a higher priority, a HDD server can still offer outstanding performance and value.

RAID stands for ‘redundant array of independent disks’. It’s a technology that distributes data across multiple storage devices to provide improved reliability. RAID 1 is a commonly implemented RAID level that mirrors data across two separate storage drives to ensure redundancy – so if one disk fails, the data remains available. Software RAID uses the host operating system to manage the RAID process, while hardware RAID uses its own dedicated hardware.
