Why go dedicated the truth..

Why go dedicated very key things

- Think about a Server as a big lake to drink water from.
the more people drinking from it the less water you can drink
the more you will suffer. The less people the better for you.
same way goes with a dedicated server


-Only your domains in the whole box, maximum
performance to each domain versus sharing it with
many other users

- Full root access to server

- The ability to sell reseller plans just like we
do, imagine selling 5 reseller plans at $30 each
that ITSELF will pay for the server and 5 resellers
will not even fill up 25% of the box, great
investment you can not go wrong.

-24x7 emergency reboot, no need to send tickets,
your server is down? Call us ( Phone # will be provided in welcome email ) someone will always
answer, but please only use for emergency, this
number is not published and only given to dedicated
server clients

-Stability we have track records of 99.99999% uptime
on people who have dedicated servers due to the
lower risk factors of other users on the domains are
not on the server to create overloads.


-Ability to restart apache mysql, even reboot the
server remotely, total control, your server, you
install whatever you want on it.

- Managed solution, don't know much about servers?
Don't worry we manage it completely so don't worry
about that.

- You get 1,000 gigabytes of bandwidth, full 80,0000
MB of space!!

- Ever in Orlando area and want to work on your
server? Be our guest stop by our data center, 111
north orange Ave, Orlando, FL 32801

- No more downtime due to other users on server,
money well invested to give the best service to your
clients.


We have migrated many resellers to dedicated servers and have outlined below what we do and so far everything has worked out well, so FYI:

1. We get your server up, configure everything cpanel, dns etc



2. We have the ability to have both servers talk to each other, grab all your domains and image them, zip them and unzip them on your dedicated server. This moves all email accounts, settings, files etc.



3. You will do the last step to update your custom name servers with the two ips we assign them on your dedicated server, any domain using those custom name servers will propagate over to your new server without any floss



4. We will keep your old account active for 4 days to allow full propagation around the world. In a sense your sites will be very redundant because if on japan the dns propagated but in california it didn't yet, the site will still be up on the old server

Isn't drinking from a lake unsafe? :sick:

No, don't reboot it. Linux isn't windows, and you only reboot in critical situations or for certain system changes you make (kernel upgrades mainly).
