For customers already in possession of their own server we offer our
comprehensive ‘Managed’ option. However, this co-location
goes much further than mere bandwidth.
We provide secure location in our air-conditioned server facility for
both rack mount and free standing units with connection to filtered mains
power and battery backup. Management includes a range of additional services
to keep your server in optimum condition including; installation support,
comprehensive monitoring, backup, security auditing and outsourced DNS
zone management.
Total traffic or data transfers from 5Gb to 50Gb per month are offered
- that's more than enough to support thousands of page views per day.
Currently we offer managed hosting for Apple OS9 and OS X (Darwin) and
systems based on Windows 2000 Pro & XP Pro operating systems.

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 log for your site. 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) and VNC. 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, are assessed on application.

Firewall Protection
All Managed 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. We will also perform scheduled security checks
and alert you to known issues as we find them.
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.
