Bluehost Dedicated Server Configuration And Features


by Carmella Watts


There's been a lot of hype about the new Bluehost dedicated server, so this might be a good time to open up the hood and take a peek inside at the specs and support offered. Up until a few months ago, the company was well known as a major provider of shared hosting packages and services. Now they have added VPS and dedicated servers to their lineup, and claim to have rock-solid infrastructure and support systems for customers who want their own private servers.

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.

Since the hardware, OS, data center, fiber network and support are all directly provided by Bluehost, dedicated server customers do not have to deal with a whole bunch of companies and contractors. Any issue or need can be sorted out quickly with a single point of contact. Hold times for customers who call for support are less than 30 seconds on average.

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.

RAID mirrors ensure integrity of customer data on the machine. Network peaks don't slowdown performance since huge amounts of bandwidths are made available. Administrative users can use the same login ID to access all tools and protected areas, which makes user management a lot easier and more secure.

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.
