Dedicated Servers

Offering a single-customer environment and unrestricted use of resources, dedicated servers are the option of choice for resellers, enterprise, and websites with special requirements.

Main benefits of Dedicated Servers

  • Single-customer environment: one customer per server
  • Unrestricted use of storage, resources such as CPU unimpeded by other customers
  • Unlimited hosted websites
  • Unix or Windows Server with custom configuration available
  • Servers always built using latest hardware: no Celerons or other low-end components

Managed Server

The Managed Server is professionally administered and fully maintained by Korax. Offering the same hosting environment as the Net Image shared hosting package, but with the benefits of a dedicated server, the Managed Server provides a seamless, natural upgrade path from shared hosting.

Unmanaged Server

The Unmanaged Server is the platform of choice for power users who need complete control over their server. The Unmanaged Server is fully maintained by the customer, who handles operating system administration including updates, security patches, and software installation. Full details

Platform Choices

When ordering hosting services, you can choose either Windows Server or Unix as the platform on which your site will be hosted. In many cases, the choice isn't important. Sometimes, however, your specific needs will determine which platform to choose.

Remember that the platform of the server hosting your website is not related to the operating system of your personal computer.

Windows Server Korax uses Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Web Edition as its Windows hosting platform. You should select Windows Server if any of the following applies to your website:

  • You use Microsoft FrontPage, and require FrontPage server extensions
  • Your website has scripts or applications that use ASP or ASP.NET
  • Your website uses Access databases to store information
  • You want to use COM components in ASP scripts

  • You need access to a Unix shell using SSH
  • You want to use secure FTP over SSH (SFTP) to upload files
  • You need the features of the Apache web server, such as .htaccess files
  • Your website uses CGI scripts
