Four, three, two, one\u2026 launch.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Heart Internet\u2019s new range of unmanaged dedicated servers<\/a> is now available.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0<\/span>DS 32, DS 64, DS 128 and DS 256<\/span>\u00a0are the most\u00a0<\/span>powerful<\/span>\u00a0dedicated servers Heart has offered to date.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this blog post we\u2019ll look a little more closely at what prompted Heart to create them, their technical specs and what they can do for you.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The thinking behind the new collection<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Heart\u2019s new selection of unmanaged dedicated servers were\u00a0<\/span>designed for\u00a0<\/span>web professionals.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They were made for\u00a0<\/span>those who need<\/span>\u00a0deep root access to their servers as well as total control over their server resources.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They were also\u00a0<\/span>created to be acutely tailorable \u2013\u00a0<\/span>we go into more detail about this below.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What sort of websites\/applications\u00a0<\/span><\/b>are these servers ideal for?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

These servers are especially suitable for\u2026\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Running high traffic websites\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Online gaming\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Running multiple applications \u2013 in fact,<\/span>our investigations have<\/span>found that the average dedicated server customer runs seven to eight applications on a server, on average.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Live media streaming\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Machine learning\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Custom applications\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Custom PHP\/HTML\/Javascriptwebsites\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Big data manipulation\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Now for the technical specifications<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Highlights of this new range of unmanaged servers include\u2026\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Bare metal access\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Customisation down to the kernel level \u2013 see below for more details<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Up to 256GB of RAM \u2013 that\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>up to double what<\/span>\u00a0we\u2019ve offered\u00a0<\/span>in the past<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • Up to 16 CPUs \u2013 32 threads – for scalable performance\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Unlimited traffic with 1GBit bandwidth\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Performance monitoring\u00a0<\/span>\u2013<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>you can\u00a0<\/span>turn on<\/span>\u00a0email alerts to get\u00a0<\/span>updates on<\/span>\u00a0high resource usage or any outages.\u00a0<\/span>In addition, you can<\/span>\u00a0monitor trends in elements like CPU and RAM by day, week, month and year.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Customisation: the details<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

        NVMe\u00a0SSDs or HDDS\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        Depending on your needs, you can choose<\/span>\u00a0to configure your server with either\u00a0NVMes<\/span>, for speed, or HDDS for greater storage.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        Windows\u00a0<\/span><\/b>or Linux<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        If you want to configure\u00a0<\/span>y<\/span>our server with Windows, you have the choice between Windows 2016 or 2019. If you opt for Linux,\u00a0<\/span>you can pick between Ubuntu 20.04 and CentOS 7 operating systems.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        Control panel\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        You may pre<\/span>fer\u00a0<\/span>to manage your server\u00a0<\/span>using the command line through SSH access. However, you do have the option<\/span>, should you require it,<\/span>\u00a0of adding a control panel<\/span>\u00a0like cPanel to your package.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        6<\/span><\/b>\u00a0of the most frequently asked questions about our new servers\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

        How do you describe these servers in a nutshell?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        These servers are p<\/span>owerful, high-performing,\u00a0<\/span>totally tailorable<\/span>, completely controllable.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        Will the introduction of these servers affect existing dedicated server customers?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        No. Customers who already have dedicated server packages with\u00a0<\/span>H<\/span>eart Internet will not have to migrate to these new servers. They will keep the specifications they originally signed up for.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        How do I know it\u2019s time to upgrade to a dedicated server?\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        Compared to other forms of hosting, these servers offer increased power<\/span>, more control and improved performance. If you feel like your existing hosting option is\u00a0<\/span>falling short in any of these areas, it\u2019s probably time to upgrade.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        Where can I\u00a0<\/span><\/b>get more details on these servers?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        Full technical specs<\/span>\u00a0and further information can be found on the unmanaged dedicated server pages of the Heart website.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        As these servers are unmanaged, what\u00a0<\/span><\/b>will my responsibilities be if I buy one?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        You\u2019re responsible for server software and performance, configuring hosting and email settings, securing your server, network configuration and the installation of third-party modules and plug-ins.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        Heart<\/span>\u00a0Internet, meanwhile,<\/span>\u00a0is<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>responsible for server hardware, power and network availability, manual reboot availability and control panel license availability.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        How technical do I need to be to be able to run on of these servers?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        These servers have been designed for the likes of sys admins and those who know their way around a server.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        If you\u2019re not experienced in this area, but need more power than shar<\/span>e<\/span>d hosting offers, you might want to consider a product such as Business Hosting, which\u00a0<\/span>allows you to use the intuitive cPanel control panel to manage server admin.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
