Virtual Dedicated Server

The QWK.net QWKxen Virtual Dedicated Servers (VDS Hosting) are uniquely engineered servers that not only bridge the gap between shared hosting and dedicated servers but they can also scale to exceed single dedicated server performance.

This unique ability comes from the use of Citrix Xen Clustering technology. From the entry level VDS with 1 processor and 512mb of RAM, to servers with over 8 processors and 64gig of RAM, QWKxen technology can scale as server needs change. This way, upgrades are simple and convenient without the need to reload and rebuild operating systems as server needs grow.

Entry level VDS servers share a server via hardware virtualization. Although using the same computer, each customer works independently from the other and even uses a separate operating system. All QWKxen servers are empowered by QWK.net’s state-of-the-art data centers.

VDS hosting provides 99% of the flexibility of a dedicated server at a fraction of the cost.

The QWK.net dedicated virtual dedicated server plans are sustained by the QWK.net data center, which boasts the following highlights:

Data Center Ownership

Data Center Ownership

We own and maintain our own data centers so we can engineer our technology with the highest level of expertise to best meet the needs of business.

Redundant Backbone Carriers

Redundant Backbone Carriers

We are contracted with multiple Internet backbone carriers that provide diversely redundant paths used for back-up in the unlikely case of widespread carrier outage.

Pure Bandwidth

Pure Bandwidth

Only high-performance bandwidth is utilized with unshared and unadulterated data which provides optimal high-speed connectivity.

60% Utilization Policy

60% Utilization Policy

By QWK.net policy, as our bandwidth usage increases, additional bandwidth capacity will be added. Anytime the bandwidth utilization load exceeds 60% of the capacity, we add more capacity to ensure fast, reliable speeds and response times.

Low Risk Location

Low Risk Location

Our data centers are all located in low risk areas which are far from areas prone to natural disaster, terrorist threat, or high crime locations. The data centers are unpublicized and unidentifiable to keep servers and data safe.

24/7/365 Monitoring

24/7/365 Monitoring

All facets of the data center are electronically monitored to insure each system is properly functioning. Any abnormalities are immediately communicated so proactive measures can be made to prevent outages and maintain consistent services and uptime.

High-Level Security

High-Level Security

Access is guarded by double authenticated encrypted token. By policy, only specified senior employees are allowed entrance. Customers may enter after a non-disclosure is signed and only with QWK.net escort.

Double Inverted 3-Phase Conditioned Power

Double Inverted 3-Phase Conditioned Power

Our power sources are the cleanest available which is ideal for electronic equipment like servers, routers and switches. It will keep equipment running smoother and lasting longer.

N+1 Power Redundancy

N+1 Power Redundancy

In the case of primary power source failure, we have an instantaneous back-up power supply will initiate. If the outage extends, our natural gas powered generator will provide power as long as is needed without interrupting service.

Super-Green Power

Super-Green Power

The QWK.net datacenters are powered by the clean energy of Snake River Hydroelectric Power Plant. This is super-green power source that is environmentally friendly.

Precision Climate Control

Precision Climate Control

Temperatures in the data centers are optimally maintained at cool temperatures with appropriate air filtering and humidity monitoring which is all ideal to extend the life of a servers, routers and switches.

Carrier & Server Grade Hardware

Carrier & Server Grade Hardware

Only carrier grade routing equipment and high-end servers and switches from major manufactures are utilized in the QWK.net data centers to ensure stability, quick response times and reliability.
