Included Elements

Control Panel
We provide a suite of tools to administrate every aspect of your service with us. Purchase additional products and gain access to invaluable online support resources and how to guides. You can even check your monthly account on line.

XSite Manager
The site manager provides the novice to experienced user tools for managing the structure of their sites. You can change file permissions, create directories, create, move and rename files all from our intuitive web interface.

Daily Backup
As a non-cost option we will provide daily backup of your primary site folders (up to 500Mb) to tape using Dantz Retrospect. Alternatively we will manage your own backup solution on site if required.

Site Statistics
Every visitor to your site will be logged in the access logs for your sites. Managed server logs can be collected by FTP (requires an account on your server for connection) and interpreted by our web based statistics server to provide a wealth of information to assist you in understanding the browsing habits of your visitors.

Remote Administration
Gain administration access to your server via Secure Terminal (SSH), VNC, Server Admin™ and Workgroup Manager™. These ports will be opened from known sources only to ensure security is kept as tight as possible. Custom remote application support such as PC Anywhere, Timbuktu and Remote Desktop, is assessed on application.

Firewall Protection
All Managed & Dedicated Servers are protected by our enterprise class firewalls. Your server will be allowed to communicate on known registered ports ONLY and a full security audit is performed prior to presenting the server to the outside world.

Security Management
We will provide ongoing advice and assistance on all aspects of security for your server. We look to ensure that all vulnerabilities and new security threats are expedited in a timely and thorough manner so you don’t have to.

100Mbit VLAN Network
All network connections are VLAN tagged to ensure server independency within our facility. Your server will have a minimum of one permanent public IP address with additional IP’s available on request at no extra charge.

Dedicated Bandwidth
Quality of Service (QoS) policies are employed for all managed and dedicated servers to ensure they get the bandwidth they require. We will also provide a burst-able limit should your server require more. Tailored rules are used so that mission critical applications like SAP or SQL get priority over bulk services like e-mail.

In addition, total traffic utilization is logged; generating accurate reports of your bandwidth use on a monthly basis

DNS Management
The ‘dark art’ of DNS is often a practice best left to the service provider, especially if they are authoritative (SOA) for your domains. Freedom255 will happily provide both primary DNS zone management or secondary zone backup for your domains as required.

Hardware Maintenance
All ‘Dedicated’ servers are covered by a comprehensive ‘Fix or Replace’ maintenance plan. Should any aspect of your server fail we will either fix the fault or replace with a new server from stock. Guaranteed 4 hour response.

Hardware Upgrade
We will automatically upgrade your ‘Dedicated Server’ after 24 months in recognition of your continued support of our services. In many cases this results in exponential increases in performance.

Multiple Public IP Addresses
Upon application, we can provide up to an additional ten public IP’s as a non-cost option.

SSL Certificates
All dual processor servers include registration of ‘SSL’ certificate(s) for secure web serving (necessary for e-commerce, etc). These are renewed annually.

24/7 Server Monitoring
We include monitoring of the servers core process whether that be a database or web site. Should the service become unreachable or crash we will alert you by e-mail and/or SMS with details of the failure. Additional process monitoring packs are also available to provide total monitoring of all core services.
