Terminal server hosting – easy to set up

Terminal servers allow you to make programs accessible to employees within a company, without having to install them on individual computers. This saves software licensing costs and centralises software update management. Terminal server hosting also enables administrators to monitor and maintain systems externally.

You can install LTSP (Linux Terminal Server Project) – a terminal server software – on any Linux server when you have root access. Since the resources required of the terminal server depend on the demands of the software, a dedicated server with enough CPU, RAM and storage space is best suited to this application.

Online shops with shifts in traffic

You can easily build a more complex IT infrastructure with our cloud servers to help cope with spikes in traffic to your online shop. This includes different servers for the live site and backup, a load balancer, your own mail server and a separate firewall.

When you rent server space, you can change the allocation of CPU, RAM and storage capacity to your servers according to web traffic – pay more for high traffic, and less for low traffic. This flexibility saves you money.

The right solutions to suit all needs

VPS

A virtual private server is the cheapest way to rent a server. Virtualisation divides the computing power of a large server platform, and allocates it to several customers in the form of a virtual server.

Cloud Server

Cloud servers are flexible, scalable, virtual servers where the computing power can be adapted and configured to meet the respective situational demand. It is also possible to operate several virtual machines (VMs) in one server network with further functionality.

Dedicated Server

With a dedicated server, you rent an entire physical server whose resources (CPU, RAM, memory, network) are not shared with others. We offer a wide range of dedicated server models and operating systems to match every need.
