See the Dedicated Configuration Tool in action

ServerNetSource has completed our new dedicated server configuration tool and has added it to our website. The new tool allows customers to build their own dedicated server with fully custom specifications. The tool allows for a truly “build your own server” approach to dedicated hosting. NetSource customers can build hundreds of different server configurations ranging from low cost to enterprise and fully managed dedicated hosting solutions.

The new tool will allow customers to select one of up to 25 different CPUs for their base server. Customers can then add many additional features to make it their own. Items like ram, hard disk, raid, or IP space can easily be added. While most other dedicated hosting providers have limited selections, NetSource has a wide range of different hard drive and ram configurations across all the server cores. This makes building a high end dedicated server for tasks like virtualization much easier. The configuration tool will also allow customers to add managed services to the servers and get real-time quotes. For example, you can add backup or firewall services and have NetSource fully manage the server for you.

NetSource also has some of the lowest pricing on our high-end dedicated hosting packages. This is unusual because NetSource is not in the commodity hosting business like many larger companies in the industry. NetSource owns and operates our own datacenter located in Naperville, IL just outside of Chicago. NetSource’s core business is providing SAS70 Type II colocation hosting to small, medium, and a number of Fortune 500 clients. The NetSource datacenter also has one of the highest documented uptime statistics in the Chicago region with a 99.997% uptime. Since NetSource’s datacenter is local to many Chicago businesses we provide hosting for, we allow our dedicated hosting customers to visit the datacenter by appointment. This is very unique in the dedicated hosting world where many hosts won’t allow you to see the environment the servers are in. NetSource is proud of our datacenter and will provide you a tour per your request.

Finally, the icing on the cake is based on the equipment NetSource uses. NetSource will purchase brand new hardware for each new client which ensures the client they are getting a quality server. The standard in the industry is to recycle equipment and NetSource feels that approach is more prone to hardware issues and downtime.
