10Gbps Dedicated Server Hosting

This depends on the edge data center location you request and the specific 10Gbps server configuration you require. For most of our datacenter locations, it takes up to 1 hour to install your dedicated server and send the login credentials as a welcome email in your account and to the email address registered in your account. More specifically:

• During business hours (9:00 am - 5:00 pm local time) 30 minutes - 2 hours server delivery time
• Outside the business hours (5:00 pm - 9:00 am local time): 2 hours - 9 hours server delivery time (with an average delivery time of 4 hours)
• Weekends: 1 hour - 24 hours server delivery time (with an average delivery time of 8 hours)

The lowest average server delivery time applies to 10Gbps dedicated servers running a standard Linux operating system (OS) such as Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, or virtualization platforms such as ProxMox or VMware, with the CPU, RAM, and disk space listed in the server plan, and with default IPv4 and IPv4 address settings.

HostColor (HC) provides 10Gbps dedicated server and cloud hosting services from Tier 3 and Tier 4 data center facilities that meet the highest possible standards set by the IT telecommunications industry. The data centers we use have various certifications depending on the country in which they are located. In general, most of our U.S. data centers are ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, and SSAE16 SOC I, SOC II, or SOC III certified. All are HIPAA compliant and PCI-DSS compliant. Our data centers in the European Union are also EN 50600 certified.

Yes, the 10Gbps dedicated servers are perfect for remote work. There are various use case scenarios for both individual users, such as freelancers, or organizations that can increase productivity and create a secure technology environment with a dedicated server hosting service.
High Availability of workflows: When some workflows are moved to a 10Gbps dedicated server hosted in any data center, this offloads the personal computer resources used. The business workloads are not interrupted upon any temporary suspension of the desktop or personal computers or outside the standard business hours.
Secure uniformed OS and software environment: When an organization uses a 10 GE dedicated server to host most of its internal workflows, it applies a custom security and access policy. The users cannot modify the operating system (OS) and applications. The system administrator defines the security and privacy settings per the organization's policy. No malicious software could be installed by accident.
Secure digital communications: All incoming emails and files are filtered to apply the organization's custom security policy.
Improved effectiveness and reduced management time effort: When all the data and applications used by the organization are hosted in one location, the users save time on access, file management, and various other use cases.
Optimized data usage and management: The organization as a whole and its employees save a significant amount of data transfer on an internal document flow.
Data leak prevention: Using a uniform technology environment for the internal distribution of files and documents reduces the risk of accidental data leaks and other unwanted exposure of sensitive business information.
Data Loss Prevention: Unlike desktops and personal computers, servers offer multiple, customizable data storage scenarios and a redundant array of disks, which reduces the risk and prevents data loss. A dedicated server hosting service could use two separate dedicated servers that operate as a High Availability (HA) Cluster. Such a configuration de facto guarantees 100% retention of the data and 100% availability of the applications and business workflows.
Here are some of the many use cases for resource-demanding workloads to host on a dedicated server:
- Secure Business Email servers
- 2D and 3D design software
- Video, and audio rendering applications
- Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems
- Customer Relationship Management applications
- Supply Chain Management systems
- Real-time data analytics platforms
- Inventory management software
- Financial Management and Accounting software
- Human Resources Management systems
- Event Management platform software
- Collaboration and communication systems for internal business communications
- Media streaming services
Overall, the use of 10 Gbps dedicated server hosting, either in the form of a business collaboration server for multiple users or as a single user Remote Desktop, is a solid technology solution that improves overall security and productivity.

There are "officially supported operating systems" on our Linux servers hosted in selected Edge data centers. These are Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 20.04, Rocky Linux 9, Rocky Linux 8, Debian 12, RHEL (BYOL) 9.3, RHEL (BYOL) 9.0, RHEL (BYOL) 8.5, and RHEL (BYOL) 7.9. If you need to use virtual server environments on your 10 Gbps Edge Server, you can install the Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) virtualization technology in Ubuntu 20 (or Ubuntu 22) OS. VMM provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for creating and running virtual machines with Linux or Windows operating systems.
All other 10Gbps dedicated servers can use a wide range of Linux distributions, Windows OS, and virtualization technologies such as Proxmox VE and VMware ESXi, etc.

Yes, RAM upgrades vary depending on the processor model, motherboard, and hardware configuration selected.
10Gbps Dedicated Server configurations listed with 16GB or 32GB of RAM are typically upgradeable to 64GB of RAM.
All servers listed with 32 GB of RAM or 64 GB of RAM are typically upgradeable to 128 GB of RAM, and in some cases to 256 GB of RAM.
Servers listed with 128 GB RAM can be upgraded to 512 GB RAM or even 1024 GB RAM.

This depends on the hardware configuration of your 10Gbps Dedicated Server. If you feel that you need to increase the storage capacity that you use on the road, we suggest that you speak to the HC team about the possibility of leasing a server that has spare HDD bays that can be upgraded with the storage of your choice. In general, all 10Gbps dedicated servers that are provisioned with one (1x) storage drive - either NMVe, SSD or HDD - can be upgraded.

Yes. If you are using one of our Linux-based Edge servers, you can use the Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) virtualization technology in the Ubuntu 20 (or Ubuntu 22) operating system (OS) to create, run, and manage virtual machines with Linux or Windows operating systems. On other 10Gbps server configurations, you can use Linux or Windows operating systems, or you can use Proxmox VE, VMware ESXi, Linux Containers, VirtualBox, OpenVZ, Kubernetes, Docker, or any other virtualization platform.

If you need a Cloud PC with a Microsoft Windows operating system, we will provide you with a 10Gbps server with Proxmox VE virtualization platform. It will allow you to have multiple Cloud PCs (aka Remote Desktops), each running Microsoft Windows 10 or Windows 11. They can be accessed securely via Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
If you want to use a Linux-based Cloud PC, we recommend Peppermint OS. It is based on the Debian/Devuan repositories.

Each Linux-based Edge serve is assigned its own IPv4 subnet that varies from /29 (8 IP addresses) to /24 (256 IPs). The first three IP addresses are used for the networking service of your server as follows: 1st IP address is for the router default gateway; 2nd IP address is reserved for router1; 3rd IP is reserved for router2. The 4th IP address is the main IP of your Edge Dedicated Server. Any additional IP addresses can be ordered from Accounts.HostColor.com and can be used for various services on your server.
Clients of other 10 Gbps dedicated servers are assigned 1 usable IP address and can add more IPs at any time.

Yes, we allow our customers to use up to one /24 IPv4 block (256 IP addresses) on a dedicated physical server, for compliant use only. Please note that the sending of bulk, unsolicited mail of any kind is not allowed on any of HostColor's networks.

Once payment is made, the billing month for your Semi-Managed 10 Gbps Dedicated Server starts from the moment we send you the login credentials. By default, all 10Gbps dedicated hosting services are set to month-to-month contracts to provide maximum flexibility.
You can choose between month-to-month, 3-month, 6-month, and annual contracts. If you opt for an annual contract, you will receive a lower monthly service fee. However, you will need to prepay the full contract (all 12 service fees). Please note that your 10Gbps Server on a month-to-month contract must be canceled properly and terminated before we stop billing you. The 10Gbps Edge servers, like other dedicated hosting services, require a 30-day cancellation notice. In some cases, we may allow early cancellations. To qualify for an early cancellation, you must submit a cancellation request from your Account 5 business days before the beginning of the new billing cycle.
