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.

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.

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. For example, if your site is consuming a abnormal amount of resources on the shared server, that would be 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 Storage

For disk space on shared plans and reseller plans, if a site is using more than 30 GB of space, that would be questioned. That is not normal shared hosting usage.

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.
