Dedicated and colocated hosting
UNIQUE HOSTING OPTIONS
What is dedicated/colocated hosting?
With this type of hosting, you purchase/rent your own server. Since you are the sole user of the server, you have complete freedom to configure it as you wish (you can, of course, have CARD Solutions handle this for you). With this type of hosting, CARD Solutions is responsible for the hardware (the server), and you are responsible for the software (the operating system and any applications). This means you must have experience with server administration. You are responsible for maintaining, repairing, and updating the software. If you would like CARD Solutions to handle this for you, that is certainly possible.
If you rent or purchase a dedicated server, it usually comes with an operating system and pre-installed software. The price of this hosting depends on the server’s specifications and the desired hosting options. If you rent, CARD Solutions ensures the continuity of the hardware. If you purchase, you are responsible for the continuity of the hardware. If you’d like CARD Solutions to handle this for you, that’s certainly possible.
This type of hosting is ideal for large websites or specific software applications, such as Claris FileMaker. Complete freedom with regard to server management is often essential.
