UK2.net and Midphase make dedicated server hosting an option for small businesses
Higher specification servers available at value prices to help UK and US businesses make the most of the web
LONDON, 17 MARCH 2015 – UK and US small and medium-sized businesses can now power their online businesses using hosted dedicated servers from as little as £49 +VAT/month (UK) or $79/month (US) without compromising on performance. This is thanks to the new 2015 dedicated server range launched today by web hosting experts UK2.net and Midphase, part of UK2 Group.
Designed to offer the performance and flexibility sole traders and small business users demand, the new dedicated server options all offer standard 1Gbps connectivity to meet a range of needs. Business requirements for HDD capacity, bandwidth and RAM differ depending on the application, and the new 2015 range has been expanded to six servers as a result. This flexibility means businesses simply looking to power their website can choose the specifications needed to offer a great experience without overpaying for unnecessary extras, while e-commerce or video streaming businesses can up their server specifications at low prices.
John Morris, COO for UK2 Group said: “Our new hosted dedicated server options mean dedicated hosted servers are now a viable option for all sole traders and small- and medium-sized businesses. Our mission is to help people make the most of the web and our new servers make this as easy and inexpensive as possible.”
High performance at value pricing without contract lock-in
Built and housed in fully owned data centres with high performance networks, UK2.net and Midphase hosted dedicated servers offer 99.9% uptime, meaning users need not worry about outages or tech issues. Customers who prefer to manage their server personally can take total control thanks to root/Admin and IPMI and market-leading automation which makes rebooting and re-imaging remotely easy and intuitive. Round-the-clock tech support 365 days a year gives added peace of mind, while users who prefer can elect for managed service support where UK2.net or Midphase technical staff take a more proactive role in managing the server.
Flexible contacts also mean businesses can choose monthly or annual subscriptions without complex contracts which lock them into multi-year deals.
Entry level hosted dedicated servers start from £49 +VAT/month (UK2.net) or $79/month (Midphase) for quad-core Intel® Xeon® 3.4GHz (E3-1230) CPU, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 1TB HDD, 1Gbps connectivity and 2TB bandwidth. Options are configurable up to £299.00 +VAT/month (UK2.net) or $455.00/month (Midphase) for a server offering two 10-core Intel® Xeon® 2.3GHz (E5-2650v3) processors, 64GB DDR4 RAM, four 4TB HDD (RAID), 1Gbps connectivity and 100TB bandwidth.
