Server Management
Operating System Updates
Hostek provides operating system updates for all VPS servers. These patches are automatically applied during night time hours. The scheduling of updates can be customized by contacting Support.
Application Updates
Updates for software applications that are installed by Hostek, such as MS SQL, MySQL, and ColdFusion, is performed upon request. Please contact Support for assistance.
Performance Monitoring
We routinely monitor all VPS or Virtual Dedicated servers for availability (uptime) and high resource utilization. If a problem arises we will act accordingly to restore services and contact you as necessary.
Premium VPS Management Services
As part of our Premium VPS Services add-on, we also provide answers or suggestions on how to properly manage or maintain you server. This includes analyzing your server usage/performance and making suggestions. This also includes proactive monitoring and upgrade/patching management.
Two hours of Premium Management Services is included with the Premium service add-on. Each support case is a 15 minute minimum. Additional time beyond two hours can be purchased at our current hourly rate.
NOTE: This is NOT a supplement for programming or development.
Disk Space (Storage)
What is High Performance Disk Space
By utilizing Dell's Compellent SAN, a true Enterprise grade storage solution, we have a unique high performance disk space solution. This "smart storage" forces all disk write activity to RAID 10, which is the fastest redundant storage configuration. Over a short period of time, data is then moved to RAID 5 storage for efficiency in disk read activity with a combination of higher storage capacity. This allows us to keep prices affordable while providing such a high performance disk solution.
What Makes Hostek's Private Cloud Different?
Every part of our disk storage is redundant. We not only have multiple primary SAN's (as described above), but we have invested heavily into secondary SAN's with live replication from the primary SAN—which ensures recovery in the event of a problem with the primary SAN. With little effort. we can recover your server from failure from the backup SAN.
Does The Operating System (OS) Use Part Of This Space?
Yes, as with any VPS or Server that can be completely customized, the OS uses part of the disk space.
Processor (CPU)
What Processor Is Used?
For those of you that like details... we use fast Xeon e5-2667 v2 3.30ghz processors. Many hosts use older/slower 2.4ghz and 2.7ghz. This CPU speed is important to your site's performance.
* 37.5% faster than 2.4 Ghz
* 22.2% faster than 2.7 Ghz
Scalable Processor
Additional processor cores can be added to your server if you have an application that requires additional processing power. In most cases, the packages we have devised are based on the needs of average customers. We realize however that there may be cases where you need additional processing capabilities. In these rare cases, our Support team members can schedule an upgrade to your server's hardware features upon request.
If you have MS SQL Web, Standard, or Enterprise Edition installed, the license only covers two processor cores, and you may be required to add an additional SQL Server license if the number of processor cores is increased. For performance and optimal resource usage, it is strongly recommended to host SQL Server instances on separate VPS servers.
For pricing, see the Optional Add-Ons section under the relevant VPS hosting plan.
Memory (RAM)
Scalable Memory
With our cloud infrastructure, your server's memory can be scaled quickly from 1GB to 256GB. In most cases, this upgrade can be performed within minutes and requires a simple reboot.
Guranteed RAM
The resources allocated to your VPS are guaranteed resources.
To request additional memory for your server, simply contact Support.
For pricing, see the Optional Add-Ons section under the relevant VPS hosting plan.
Bandwidth/Traffic
Network Port Speeds
Each of our virtual machine hosts are equipped with redundant 1Gb Links. Individual VPS servers are provisioned with 100Mbps connections.
Scalable Bandwidth
If required, server bandwidth can be scaled to accomodate the needs of your traffic.
Burstable Bandwidth
For abnormal network traffic patterns, burstable bandwidth allows your VPS to handle network requests without interruption.
Unlimited Bandwidth
Unlimited bandwidth means that there are no hard limits
placed on the amount of bandwidth, or network traffic, either
to or from your server.
Unlimited bandwidth applies to normal applications that are not primarily used for streaming of either audio or video.
Nightly Backups
Nightly Backups
We keep rolling backups. That means if you select 30 days then we will take nightly backups of your server and store them for 30 days. On the 31st day the oldest backup will be deleted and replaced with the current day's backup. These are full backups of both the entire file system and bare metal level server backups.
How A File, Folder Or Entire Site Can Be Restored
With our backups, individual files, folders or an entire server can be restored.
For VPS's, these restores can be completed within the Control Panel if on the Windows operating system. For Linux based operating systems, simply make the request to our support team.
VLAN Private Network
What is a VLAN?
A virtual local area network (VLAN) is a type of private network for a multi-server environment.
As an example, assume that you have a web server and a separate database server for performance purposes. This is a common setup to allow for a scalable solution. In order for the web server to quickly and efficiently get the data to or from the database server, a VLAN provides for fast and efficient communications between the two servers.
IP Addresses
Does my VPS have a static IP address?
Yes, the VPS will be assigned its own static IP address.
Can I order additional static IP addresses
Yes, if there is a specific/valid need for it. The cost is $3.
How do I test my site if I don't have a static IP address?
In your control panel, we do provide a link to a testing/pre-prop URL. Also, for most CMS's we recommend modifying your HOSTS file to test the website before you change the DNS. (Search community.hostek.com ) for instructions on how to change your HOSTS file.
Anti-Virus
Avast or ESET Server Security
Protecting your server from viruses, trojans, rootkits, and other malware is vital. That's why every VPS server is equipped with ESET Server Secrity or Avast Server Security no additional charge.
ESET Server Security (Recommended)
ESET Server Security is recommended over Avast primarily due to it's efficient use of server resources. Avast from time to time may consume a large amount of server RAM. ESET performs much better for business class servers.
Database Sizes
MySQL Databases
MySQL database sizes are limited only by the total amount of disk space available to your VPS.
MS SQL Databases
Express Edition
The limit for databases when using MS SQL Express Edition is 10GB for Express Edition 2012, 2014 and 2016.
Web Edition The limit for databases when using MS SQL Web 2012, 2014 or 2016 is limited only by the total amount of disk space available to your VPS.
PHP Versions
Using our custom-built Windows Control Panel, you can select specific version of PHP on a per-domain basis and even customize the php.ini file as required by your application.
ISAPI_Rewrite
The ISAPI_Rewrite module for IIS allows your Windows web server to support Apache .htaccess files for URL rewriting. This feature is recommended for a number of popular web applications (such as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, et al).

Virtual Private Network (VPN)
What is a Virtual Private Network?
A common use for a virtual private network (VPN) is so that Remote Users can connect directly to a server.
A VPN allows users to send and receive data to or from a server as if they were directly connected; providing a more secure method of accessing the server and its resources.
VPN Pricing and Ordering
If you require a VPN for your server, please include the request in the additional comments section of the checkout process.

Average Number of Sites on VPS
Average Sites per VPS
The real answer is... IT DEPENDS. There are a lot of factors that go into how many sites can be put on a VPS.
The grid below represents average use sites. The average site has fairly low usage.
Busy sites may need several Business level VPS's in a Load Balanced configuration to insure high availability and page load times.
Additional Information
The grid below is just a rough estimate, since the type of site, how busy, how code optimized, etc. all play an important role in how many sites can be put on a VPS.
Schedule a Consultation with one of our VPS onboarding specialist and we would be happy to help you determine the right package for you or help you customize a package for your specific needs.
Applications | Starter | Silver | Business |
---|---|---|---|
No Extra Applications | 10 | 40 | 100 |
SmarterMail | 5 | 25 | 70 |
MySQL | 5 | 25 | 70 |

Unlimited Information
Unlimited Conditions
We strive to offer ample resources with each plan type. However, there are certain cases where a customer tries to abuse certain resources, so we have to have certain restrictions on the Unlimited features.
Unlimited in one respect means not abusive. Abusive is to be determined by management. Our goal is to provide hosting, so we don't go around looking for abusers. However, when we find one, we will notify the account holder to correct the situation.
Unlimited Bandwidth
Unlimited bandwidth means that there are no set limits placed on the amount of bandwidth, or network traffic, either to or from your server, that you can utilize during a month.
Our Unlimited Bandwidth feature is intended for normal application or website activity. Live video streaming for example, is not a normal application or website activity. If you need live streaming or any other non normal bandwidth requirement, consult with our VPS specialist and we can customize a solution for you.
If you are hosted elsewhere currently and you are getting charged extra for bandwdith, you may have an abnormal usage scenario. You should first do a free Consultation with one of our VPS specialist in advance to avoid any surprises.
Free Site Migration Information
Will Hostek Help Me Migrate My Site To Hostek Servers?
Yes. In most cases we are able to migrate a site from another host with no problems.
Will I Experience Any Downtime During Migration?
There will be no downtime during the migration. We provide you with a pre-propagation URL to test the site before updating the DNS. That way you know it works before "flipping the switch" on the DNS.
Best Effort Guarantee
Once the site is migrated, if something doesn't work that used to work on the old server, we will provide a "best effort" to work with you to help get it working on our servers. It's extremely rare that we can't get something to work.
We have migrated thousands of sites and have lots of experience with various scenarios.
How Many Sites Can Be Migrated For Free?
This varies by plan type. If you have more than 10 websites we recommend a FREE Consultation to discuss the migration process. This will insure a seamless and hassle-free experience for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find a solution to common questions asked by our customers.
Ordering
If you are just hosting an application that does not need a domain associated with it, just enter your company or application name (no spaces). This will just be used as an internal reference.
If you know exactly what you want, you can go ahead and place your order for the first server then add the other server(s) after your account has been created. Our onboarding specialists can assist with this.
For annual billing, payment via Check is also available.
Bitcoin is also available as a payment option for established customers.
Technical and Solutions
Detailed answer: Yes, but be sure to consider what applications you are putting on which server level. For example, trying to run web, mail, database server, and multiple sites on a Starter level will be under powered. Feel free to consult with one of our server specialists to make sure you get started properly.
We are able to scale your existing server/vps so there are no migrations to worry about. Depending on what is being upgraded, we may need to schedule a restart of the server with you.
Whether you need to load balance for performance reasons, or you want the peace of mind knowing that if one of your servers goes down, the other is still serving your customers. Having a load balanced setup allows for security patches to be applied which often require a restart, to be completed with no down time.
We provide both a bare metal backup and a file level backup.
Server Access
Support
For most issues, we strongly suggest opening a support ticket by emailing [email protected] or by going to https://support.hostek.com - this ensures that we can get the correct Techncial Specialist working on your specific issue. Our support ticket response time is measured in minutes, not days.
