IP-Projects - Dedicated Server / Rootserver offers overview

Quality hardware

Ever since our company was founded, we have been testing different manufacturers of hardware in terms of performance and service life. Especially with hard drives, we have the experience that to well-behaved hard drives usually have only a small life expectancy in continuous operation and thus it often leads to interference and possibly data loss. For this reason, we only use Western-Digital premium Harddisks with our Root-Server products. Our customers can choose between different Harddisks when ordering. By default, we recommend using WD Red or WD SE hard drives.

New Server

Our customers do not receive any already used server hardware without their knowledge. We only rent the used server systems as remant dedicated server or explicitly point to used rootserver hardware. Every new server ordered through our website is completely factory-fresh hardware that has not been used before. This procedure should ensure that as few hardware defects as possible occur within the first months after the server has been deployed.

Operating Systems

To keep our customers up to date with the latest software, our root server installation images are always kept up to date. So are recent kernel versions or operating system versions such. CentOS 7, Debian 8 or Ubuntu 14.04 always available in the Rootserver for installation within a very short time. The Operating Systems can be installed on the server system using a VNC installation, over SSH installation or automated by the software installer. The automated installation method also includes the automatic configuration of a software RAID 1. We offer the operating system Windows Server Standard and Windows Server Datacenter as a flexible VNC installation. With the help of the VNC installation, e.g. individual partitions are performed freely.

Modern Webinterface

Our server web interface offers you extensive administration options of your root server. In addition to common functions such as reinstalling or resetting the server, you can also use a large number of statistics tools to check the generated traffic. You can also create and manage co-users in which you can limit the administration rights as required.

Rescue systems

If you make a mistake when configuring the root server or suspect a hardware defect, you can use our Debian Rescue Consoles, which boot a full Debian installation into the server's memory via the network. On the other hand we offer a SysrescueCD, which offers a large amount of system tools for error analysis and error checking of the hardware. The SysrescueCD is also booted over the network into the main server's RAM.

IPv6 Ready

Each of our root server products is IPv6 Ready. Upon request, our customers will receive a free / IPv6 IPv6 network as well as an access via which the corresponding PTR / R-DNS records can be recorded. Because IPv6 addresses are available in almost unlimited quantities, our customers receive this service for free. The IPv6 addresses can also be used across servers within a V-LAN.

Server Administration

Various interfaces are available for managing the rental servers. One of the most popular interfaces is Plesk. Plesk provides administration of the root server using a graphical interface. For example, you can manage domains or e-mail addresses. Those who shy away from Plesk's license costs can also work with the free administration interface I-MSCP. Although it does not offer the same functionality as Plesk, it is ideal for managing simple web pages on the root servers.

Free hardware Change

As a provider, we are responsible for the maintenance of the hardware. For these maintenance measures, we have an extensive hardware warehouse, which always has enough spare parts in place to exchange defective server components at any time. The exchange of individual server components is thus always possible free of charge. The datacenter is staffed for this server 24/7/365 and can respond flexibly to fault messages within a very short time.

Remote consoles

If an extensive initial installation of a server is required that does not have its own KVM over IP card, we can connect a KVM over IP remote administration console to the root server free of charge when the server is provided. These KVM over IP remote consoles can easily load ISO images from their own Harddisk or from a central network storage. If a customer does not have their own storage, we are happy to provide a network storage for a KVM over IP installation.

No IP-MAC binding

To simplify the virtualization on our premium root servers, we do not perform any IP-MAC binding in our network. Therefore, IP addresses can be distributed between different servers or freely used for virtualization, without having to set up complicated bridged network setups. If you want to operate your own firewall, we are happy to provide you with an internal IP address network for this purpose free of charge.

Loadbalance / Failover IP

Since we do not have an IP Addresses MAC binding, any IP address can be used without restrictions for load balancing or failover purposes, for example using hardbeat, at no extra cost. This can also be set up on request from our customer support using our own virtual network (V-LAN) in order to be independent of the influence of other customers.

Webspace administration

For the management of web pages on our own root server, we offer various installation and licensing management interfaces. As a free web space administration interface we recommend the software I-MSCP. As a fee-based administration interface, we as Odin Silver Partner, offer the interface Plesk. Both administrative areas are characterized by their clarity and large scope of administration
