New Server Configurations

OK, I had said in a previous post that we'd soon be announcing some new changes to our server offerings, so now I'm announcing them. First of all, ALL servers will use Supermicro motherboards and Supermicro cases with hot swap drive bays. Second, ALL new servers will be put on a gigabit internal network, with access to the backup servers. Then the higher end systems, Core 2 Duo E6600 (which is not currently in stock on the new configuration) or better, will be put on a gigabit network port by default and have IPMI, which will offer KVM over IP capabilities.

We are also changing the standard hardware specs. The Sempron 3000+ is being replaced by the Celeron 430 at $109.95 a month, the Athlon64 3500+ is being replaced by the Core 2 Duo E4500 at $149.95 a month, and the Dual Clovertown 5335 is being replaced by the Dual Harpertown 5410 at $439.95 a month. All of those should offer performance upgrades for the same price.

You can order the new servers on the dedicated servers page of our web site.
