We offer many types of hosting \u2013 below is a discussion of some of our different offerings.\u00a0\u00a0 Remote desktop (terminal) server hosting can be installed on either a dedicated server or a virtual server.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Virtual Servers<\/strong><\/p>\n Our virtual server hosting offering is a great fit for companies needing a VM to host an application via remote desktop services (terminal services), for example, an Access Database, an operations or accounting application or other program.\u00a0 Our VMs provide a scalable, flexible approach to resources (RAM, CPU, disk space) which can be quickly increased as needed.\u00a0 This eliminates upfront capital investments and pay only for what you need through a fixed monthly payment.<\/p>\n Our virtual servers have the lowest price entry point ($90+) and are great for a lower number of users (up to 10 users). A single user application server is $39 per month. \u00a0\u00a0Our base price includes the Windows Server standard license and you can add-on items such as Office, Veeam full server image backup, etc.\u00a0 Our VMs come with a dedicated IP address.\u00a0 Our VMs provide good performance and disk space is fast SAS drives on enterprise SANs.\u00a0 See online pricing calculator to price with options:\u00a0http:\/\/www.riptidehosting.com\/Denver-Virtual-Server-Pricing.aspx<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>Dedicated Servers<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>A Dedicated Server can provide significantly more resources (CPU, RAM, disk space) than a VM and at a lower price.\u00a0\u00a0 Also, some programs or applications just run better on a physical CPU versus a virtual CPU.\u00a0 Although VMs have a cheaper entry point, there is a cross-over where a dedicated server becomes cheaper than as the resources needed increase.\u00a0 Another advantage with a dedicated server is that all resources are dedicated to you and the network connection is specific to your VLAN only.\u00a0 Our dedicated servers are often similar priced to VMs at other hosting providers and many clients have commented on the performance, speed and uptime of our dedicated servers versus their prior provider.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>With our dedicated server hosting, you get guaranteed uptime due to the premium blended bandwidth used, we maintain spare parts in case of any hardware failures, regulated temperature and humidity for an optimal environment in the datacenter, iDRAC enterprise remote KVM over IP and 24\/7 emergency support.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>Contact us to customize an environment to host your applications and use our online pricing calculator for popular servers.\u00a0 We can provide a 100% SLA for power and network availability, along with dedicated connectivity on a dedicated VLAN.\u00a0 Our dedicated servers all have capacity for 2 CPUs (8+ cores), 4 hard drives and lots of RAM.\u00a0 Dell AppAssure full server backup to a separate dedicated server is available as an add-on or you can use many other third party backup offerings.\u00a0 Server Price includes Windows Server Standard License (full Standard version \u2013 not Essentials).\u00a0 See online pricing calculator<\/span> <\/span>http:\/\/www.riptidehosting.com\/Denver-Dedicated-Server-Pricing.aspx<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>VMs on your own Dedicated Server (private cloud)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>Another approach is you can create multiple virtual servers on top of one of our dedicated servers.\u00a0 For example, you can sign up for our dedicated server hosting offering and then utilize the Microsoft Hyper-V role to create several VMs on the dedicated server.\u00a0 This could be advantageous if you have several applications\/roles that you wish to have isolated on separate VMs.\u00a0 A similar approach can be performed with other hypervisors such as vmware ESXi.\u00a0 Depending on your environment, you can setup backups, replication and\/or failover, all while increase uptime and providing cost savings.\u00a0 If the VMs are Windows Server based, you should consider licensing the underlying dedicated server (host) with Windows Server Datacenter which is more expensive but provides unlimited virtualization on the host.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>Colocation<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>Another option if you already own newer equipment is to utilize our server colocation services.\u00a0 With server colocation, you receive all the benefits of being in a datacenter for uptime including redundant power feeds, backup generator power, UPS batter backup, multiple internet connections (premium, blended bandwidth), regulated temperature\/humidity, and multiple levels of physical security.\u00a0 Not only does our blended bandwidth include multiple carriers (in fact, over 8 telecom carriers blended together), it allows for a larger pipe size than may be available at your office\/residence with single carrier dependency.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>With our colocation hosting, you are provided 3 IP address on a dedicated VLAN, dedicated network connection, remote KMV over IP devices available, remote hands for reboots, and optional services such as firewall add-on, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n
