Dedicated Server

Nibs Solutions are leading providers of web hosting UK services. With so many companies offering web hosting UK deals, it can be difficult deciding who can deliver what you need, so here is our guide to our web hosting services.

Under a Managed Hosting, or dedicated server hosting deal, Nibs Solutions becomes the systems administrator for your dedicated server.

As a top web hosting UK company, our dedicated servers are defined as the exclusive rental of a computer including a web server, related software, and Internet connection, located on-site, within our premises. Usually, for sites which develop considerable traffic, a dedicated server is needed and most cases, dedicated servers can be configured and operated remotely by us.

Dedicated servers are a single computer on our web hosting UK network, leased or rented, and dedicated to just one customer. As your service provider, we will monitor the computer's hardware, network connectivity, and routing equipment, while the customer generally controls and maintains the server software. Our Dedicated servers are usually used for web sites which have outgrown the basic standard web hosting account. Larger companies who need separate systems for mail, web, and database servers also use dedicated servers. At Nibs Solutions, we have our sites spread over several dedicated servers. Our dedicated servers are kept inside data centres, where we can fully monitor them at all times.

Internet business owners generally outsource dedicated servers, due to their technical nature, which is where Nibs Solutions come in. Dedicated server providers use great amounts of bandwidth, and can obtain lower volume costs, including multi-providers. Generally, the cost of developing a single network is not feasible for many web hosting companies but Nibs Solutions can cover all your web hosting needs.

So many things are involved in running a dedicated server successfully: website reporting and monitoring; load balancing; security; storage and backup; ensuring the applications are running well; ensuring the network is performing at its best. If any of these aspects needs 'tuning up', you really count on Nibs Solutions as your web hosting company for comprehensive services.

Bear in mind that, in some cases, a dedicated server can reduce overheads and offer a greater return on investment. Although dedicated servers are most often housed in data centres similar to colocation facilities, the dedicated server hardware is owned by us, your Managed Hosting providers and we provide support for your operating system and applications.

One way to decide which type of Nibs Solutions web hosting to go for is to consider a few basic questions.

Is your website your main source of revenue, and are your Internet applications critical? Do you need highly responsive 24/7 support, and guaranteed uptime?

Do your current resources from your existing web hosting plan give you enough support on all hardware, software, and network functionalities? Does the web hosting you use allow you to focus on business issues and keep your dedicated servers running? Can you afford to hire, train, and retain staff to maintain your web presence under your current web hosting deal?

Managed Hosting

If you answered 'yes' to the first two questions, and 'no' to the last three - Nibs Solutions Managed Hosting may be the ideal web hosting set-up for you. Under Managed Hosting, we will assume the role of systems administrator for your dedicated server and keep your site functional.

With Managed Hosting, Nibs Solutions monitor and maintain all of the infrastructure issues integral in web hosting. Under our Managed Hosting deal, we procure, configure, install and maintain the necessary dedicated servers, firewalls, and other devices, including the operating system and any backend database and supplies dedicated server support to keep the site functional.

Once configured, under Managed Hosting, we connect the dedicated server to the web via its own network, and monitor the dedicated servers round the clock. Essentially, Managed Hosting means we maintain your infrastructure: if a hard drive fails, Nibs Solutions replaces it; if a dedicated server dies, Managed Hosting means that we swap it; if there’s a spike in traffic, under Managed Hosting the bandwidth is automatically increased.

We would be more than happy to discuss our Managed Hosting services to help find exactly the right support for your web hosting requirements.



Managed Hosting Benefits

Compared to handling infrastructure demands in-house, Nibs Solutions Managed Hosting allows you to take full advantage of our Managed Hosting processes and our experience to implement solutions more quickly and cheaply, and with higher reliability than other web hosting methods. Colocation and dedicated web hosting plans only provide the physical space, power, and network connections for customer equipment. Anything extra means an extra cost - which can become prohibitive if you need to reconfigure your dedicated servers frequently, or add multiple applications. While many dedicated and co-located web hosting deals claim to offer additional services, these are usually provided by a third party, cost more and can interrupt performance. These deals cannot offer the reliability and adaptability that Nibs Solutions Managed Hosting does.

It is true that there are many web hosting UK service providers. However they certainly don't all offer the same high levels of service as Nibs Solutions. An advantage of opting for a web hosting UK service such as ours is that you will be billed in sterling. Our web hosting UK support team are in the same country and time zone as you and can always be contacted.

There are various advantages to going for a web hosting UK service. If you are located in Great Britain, you may find it more convenient to be billed in sterling. Also by choosing a web hosting UK provider, you can deliver to your visitors with the best response times in the UK. The UK's outstanding connectivity also makes it a good starting point for serving most European countries, and is another good reason for going for a web hosting UK provider.

In particular, our web hosting organisation prides itself on our reliability, the strength of our round-the clock support, and the great value of our web hosting services.

Colocation Hosting

As your business grows so, too, does your reliance on your computer system - staff, equipment and location.

Having your own data centre is often a too expensive option to consider, but colocation allows you to keep your server(s) in our high specification data centres, using our expertise if required, to ensure you are online to your company and clients 24/7/365.

You always have physical or remote access to your server, which you know will be housed in one of the most secure sites available - see technology for more details.

You can think of this as a 5-star hotel for your servers, where every possible assistance can be provided, should you require it - at any time of the day or night.

With a wide range of plans, competitive pricing, easy-access location and unrivalled levels of service, Nibs Solutions is happy to discuss your colocation requirements in more detail.
