Bluehost Dedicated Server Specifications And Support

By Carmella Watts


There has been a lot of pre-launch buzz surrounding the Bluehost dedicated server, and it only seems to be growing after the launch. Let's take a look at what customers are in store for. After all, it was only a few months ago that Bluehost was looked upon as a respectable shared hosting provider. Suddenly they're the hottest new thing on the market, offering VPS and dedicated machines backed up by what they say is an unmatched level of IT infrastructure and support.

Bluehost engineers assemble these servers in-house using the best available parts, including industrial grade processors. The company has also developed its own linux kernel, and the servers are loaded with the cutting-edge OS and other server management and web-hosting tools without any outside assistance from a third-party provider. The machines are housed in their own data center, which is located in Utah.

Upgrades and other hardware enhancements are made seamlessly using interfaced cloud-based systems which ensure zero disruption as far as customers and their clients are concerned. The data center and the servers in it are kept operational 24/7 by a crack team of support staff, aided by everything from diesel generators to their own nationwide fiber network. Bluehost offers multiple 10 GB fiber connections at most major locations across the world.

Everything from fiber to support, hardware and the data center is directly under the control of Bluehost. Dedicated server customers can therefore resolve all issues through just one contact, instead of having to deal with multiple contractors as often happens when web hosts outsource functions. On average, customer calls are taken in less 30 seconds.

The managed hosting control panel has been enhanced so that it can facilitate both server management and all the web-hosting tools that are typically used by shared hosting clients. But the best part is at the beginning when a new customer signs up. Instant provisioning has the account up and running within seconds. There are no delays, and the administrator gets full root access and ability to use the control panel and other tools immediately.

The customer data in a machine is safeguarded using a mirrored RAID configuration. The enormous bandwidths available can easily handle a flood of visitors during network peak times. User management is vastly improved with the help of a single log-in used for all administrative access.

The machine configuration includes quad or dual core processors, depending on the package chosen. RAM on the machines can likewise vary from 4-16 GB, and it will have two HDDs with storage capacities of 500-1000 GB each. If necessary, storage space can be upgraded in packages ranging from 500 GB to 2 TB. Bandwidth included in the packages ranges from 5-15 TB per month.

Bluehost dedicated server packages also include three to five dedicated IP addresses, one free domain name for a year, and KVM for virtualization. Customers can choose from amongst three separate packages. Payments can be made every month, once per quarter, twice a year, or on an annual basis. The company is offering 50 percent off for the initial month on all packages, and they also have a money back guarantee during this first month if the customer is not happy.
