What is a snapSERVER? A snapSERVER is a dynamically provisioned server that you can get up and running in minutes! snapSERVER provides a lot of power for the buck by streamling the provisioning process. 100% guaranteed network uptime with 24/7/365 network support. Helpdesk support is available for an additional fee. If you don't have a competent technical team or are looking for a managed server, we recommend Pro Managed Hosting. snapSERVER includes full access to a dedicated server of your own, to install software, configure, reboot, however you want. You can choose your operating system and control panel. You control the server just as you would if it were sitting on your desk. You can upgrade applications, re-compile applications, tweak configuration settings, install third-party applications and more. Basically, anything you want or can imagine to do, you can do. snapSERVER is far more powerful and flexible than competitive low-cost shared hosting offerings. Is a snapSERVER a dedicated server or VPS? snapSERVERs are functionally equivalent to dedicated servers in all external respects. In fact, for many reasons, they are far superior to dedicated servers. Although similar technologically to VPS, snapSERVERs utilize VMware Infrastructure technology and are much more powerful and robust than typical VPS servers. For starters, snapSERVERs guarantee resources. Other services on the same core server do not affect your snapSERVERs' performance. Plus, you benefit from the superior attributes of enterprise computing, like redundant power, redundant teamed networking, hardware RAID and much more. This all adds up to superior performance and reliability. The future of hosting, grid computing, cloud computing, is in the intelligent use of virtualized hosting.
