Dedicated servers
With a dedicated server solution you will have an exclusive server, devoted only to your Web site(s) or web application(s), increasing performance and security.
A dedicated server is the best solution for:
- High traffic web sites (portal websites, etc...)
- CPU intensive web applications (i.e. online shopping, database backend, etc..)
- Extra sensitive information storage (medical, financial, etc...)
- Custom hardware and software needs
Dedicated servers can be collocated, full managed or self managed
Collocated dedicated server (Collocation Only)
You bring your own server and use our datacenter to benefit from security, power backup and fast internet connection. You are the owner of the hardware. UniWeb is responsible for the power supply, cooling, switches, routers and bandwidth.
Collocation starts at 95 EUR/month. Read more.
Self managed dedicated server
UniWeb is responsible for the server hardware, connectivity, bandwidth, redundant power, cooling, shared firewall, switches and routers. You are in charge of the operating system and all installed applications. You are allowed 'root' or 'admin' access to the server.
If you accidentally or otherwise damage the Operating System or any other installed applications, you can fix it or we can fix it for you for a fee.
Full Managed dedicated server
We take care of everything except the data. You are not allowed 'root' or 'admin' access to the server. Your access is limited to either FTP or authoring tools such as Dreamweaver, Flash, Visual Interdev, FrontPage,... If the operating system (OS), any installed software or hardware fail, we fix it for free.
We are responsible for the OS, all installed applications, security patches, service packs, server hardware, redundant power, cooling, switches, routers and bandwidth.
In addition, all our managed hosting solutions include our Network Backup Service, which has a value of 9 per month.

Managed services that we offer are:
Network/Server Monitoring
Your server will be monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Monitored services includes FTP, HTTP, MySQL, POP and SMTP.
Software Installation
Server side software will be kept up-to-date. We will install any extra software requested by the client, such as Perl modules, upon request.
Security
We also install security patches as soon as they are released to keep your servers protected from hackers.
Backups
Daily backups are conducted on all of our servers to prevent data loss. We can offer daily incrementals with weekly full backups or daily full backups
Server collocation
Collocation is a cost effective way to benefit from an affordable fast ethernet connection in a professional and highly secured environment with power backup and access control.
Collocation means that you rent rack space and connectivity and house your own servers in our secure data center. You are fully responsible for managing the collocated servers however and any additional interventions by UniWeb will be charged with an extra cost. You are the sole responsible for the hardware and the software used on the collocated server(s).
When you have your own servers and maintenance personnel, collocation is recommended over locating the servers within your company because it gives you the additional advantage of high speed connectivity, power and a firewall for a lower price. It is therefore more cost-effective to colocate your servers.
