Linux server plans
Our dedicated server packages are outlined below; for futher information or customised specifications, you can contact us online or by calling 0808 222 2221.
Monthly bandwidth (non-contended)
In order to avoid the confusion of ambiguous "Acceptable Usage Policy" statements, we do not offer "unlimited bandwidth". Our policy of allocating a specific volume of monthly uncontended bandwidth is your guarantee of network performance when you require it.
Should you require larger volumes of bandwidth, our Tier 1 network can accommodate your requirements; we can either provide dedicated Mbits/sec bandwidth at £45.00 per Mbit/sec (Mbps) or additional gigabyte transfer per month is available at £1.00 per Gb per month. Please contact us to find out more.
Your choice of Operating System
We will install a 64-bit (32-bit on request) version of your preferred Linux operating system from the choice of distributions below:
- CentOS: version 4 or 5
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux: version 4 or 5
- Fedora Core: version 6, 7 or 8
- Ubuntu: version 6.06, 7.10 or 8.04
- Debian: version 4
Please note that if you require the Ensim / Parallels Pro control panel, your operating system choices are CentOS 4/5, RHEL 4/5, or Fedora Core 6.
Remote power included
All of our server solutions come with access to a remote power switch as standard. This means that wherever you happen to be, 24/7/365, you can instantly power-cycle your server without having to log a support call, reducing potential downtime to a minimum.
Real time network monitoring
MRTG (Multi Router Traffic Grapher) gives you a constant visual representation of network traffic in and out of your server. Accessed via a secure webpage, use MRTG to monitor bandwidth volumes and identify hourly patterns of traffic activity:

Parallels Pro control panel
Parallels Pro (formerly Ensim Pro) is a leading server management control panel, designed to simplify day to day server administration tasks. Quickly and easily add, configure and remove hosting accounts, create POP email accounts and manage various web services.
Please note that if you require the Parallels Pro control panel, your operating system choices are CentOS 4/5, RHEL 4/5, or Fedora Core 6.
