Dedicated Servers by SingleHop.com

    Hey Everyone!

    Just wanted to let everyone know of a deal I have been authorized to offer only for the next 48 hours If you purchase a dedicated server with SingleHop.

    I can give you a 25% discount on our management services, but only for new SingleHop customers who order any one of our dedicated servers within the next 48 hours!

    Check out our servers here:
    http://www.singlehop.com/servers/index.php

    Let me give you a run down on what these options are.

    Semi-Managed - http://www.singlehop.com/managed/semi-managed.php
    Choose any TWO of our Flexible Managed Services to create your own Management Package. - [ For the next 48 Hours $29.25 a month ] Originally $39 a month

    Fully Managed - http://www.singlehop.com/managed/fully-managed.php
    Choose any FOUR of our Flexible Managed Services to create your own management packages. [ For the next 48 Hours $74.25 a month ] Originally $99 a month

    [Flexible Management Options ]
    * General Managed Services - General Managed Web Hosting Services is designed for organizations that do not have 24 hour IT-staffing, and need support for basic dedicated server services, as well as control panel troubleshooting.

    * Quick Reaction Monitoring Recommended! - Quick Reaction Monitoring places your dedicated server front and center in our network operations center, and if your dedicated server at anytime becomes unreachable, one of our on-site representatives will immediately begin addressing the situation.
    * Automatic Event Notification Recommended! - Our advanced monitoring system watches your dedicated server 24/7 and notifies you if anything happens. You may then contact support or turn the issue over to internal staff at your organization.
    * Server Backups - Server Backups are a necessity, regardless of RAID configuration, or any other types of data replication, which makes our remote backup offering one of the most popular services that we offer. Server Backups are conducted over our secure, and private network, and can be configured to be set to your choice of interval (daily/weekly/monthly).
    * Kernel & OS Updates Recommended! - Whether you select a Linux dedicated server or a Windows dedicated server, our Kernel & OS Updates Managed Service will constantly keep your server up-to-date, which is essential for security.

    * Server Side Virus Scanning Spam Filtering (including 1 domain) - An anti-virus solution is one of the most critical, and fundamental ways to avoid having your dedicated server infected, and compromised by malicious code. Server Side Virus Scanning is available for both Linux dedicated servers and Windows dedicated servers

    * Security Audit (On Demand) *** - A monthly security audit is included with the purchase of our Kernel & OS Updates, Server Side Virus Scanning, or Spam Filtering. The Security Audit will be conducted on request by our experienced team of administrators, and will cover the bulk of the known security exploits on your managed server.
    * Software Firewall Configuration - Our Software Firewall Protection for managed dedicated servers is simply based on IP tables, and can be configured to meet the level of security that you require. We recommend software firewalls if you are expecting low-levels of traffic, and simply need a bit of added security for your managed dedicated servers.

    You can get the deal any one of the two ways. Go ahead and order the server at SingleHop.com and then shoot an e-mail to Subject: ATTN Jeremy, and let me know what hostname, domain name you used OR just send me an e-mail and I can give you a fair quote and mark you down as getting the management deal.
    Thanks,

    To be honest I started out as a client of theres. I love there services and believe in them so much I sent them my resume, and now I work there. Its an awesome company based out of Chicago Il, right next to the Sears Tower on Jackson st. SingleHops data center is only a few blocks away from there.

    If any of you live near Chicago give us a call and schedule a tour of the Data Center we would love to have you!
    (not to many companys freely invite people to tour there Data Centers)

    LEAP was being developed for a long time, and its still continuing to grow. I can assure you that in the office across from my desk there are a team of developers dedicated to working on new and innovative ways to turn dedicated hosting by SingleHop into something special.

    These are not just some guys contracted when something is needed, they work full time in the SingleHop offices just developing/ writing programs to improve our services for you the client.

    I understand how one can be weary as for a long time the industry never changed, they let themselves age as years went by without growing with new technology. SingleHop is setting a new industry standard and has already set the pace on what a hosting company should be.

    Just a small note. This is actually incorrect.

    Originally SingleHop was part of midPhase, which was founded in 2003. SingleHop was incorporated separately in October 2006. In December 2007 midPhase and it's shared, reseller and VPS assets were sold off while its dedicated assets were rolled into SingleHop. That gives us the company as it exists today. SingleHop manages 1,100+ servers, for 700+ customers and has a staff of just under 20 actual human beings in Chicago. Including our newest team member, Netpants aka Jeremy :)

    From what i have heard and seen of SingleHop, then they actually are a quite amazing and soon-to-be respectable company!

    Like i have mentiond previosly in this thread, if it wasn't for the expensive pricing then i would have gladly chosen SingleHop above Limestonenetworks!

    I have a site hosted by Singlehop (www.businessphonesdirect.com). Been with them for months and the service has been amazing! Would easily recommend.

    And the other staff are monkeys? :O:O:O.

    I'll probably be purchasing a server from you soon as I have been hearing nothing but good things about you recently.

    Norted did you know about our $200 credit for switching from your current hose to SingleHop, this should certainly offset some of the cost!

    I do know now ;)

    $200 sounds great, but comparing the server specs with the ones from Limestone then $200 would be enough to match the same price for the first month! The next months the price is suddenly a few hundreds $ higher for lower server specs :p

    Intel Core2Quad Q9300
    8 GB DDR2 RAM
    750 GB HDD
    2000 GB Bandwidth
    RAID 1 etc is free of charge.. (SingleHope is not)
    134.95$ Monthly ;)

    It's hard to beat such a price, all my servers with them are at these specs! :)

    We may not always be the cheapest , we cannot give things away, but how about this. For the next 72 hours , any Digital Point Member who buys a server from us and mention this thread will get Raid-1 for free with the purchase of a second hard drive.

    I also noticed LimeStone does not offer the a la Carte management options , in fact they don't offer management services at all, nor do they offer the same level of service we offer. For example, we assign a dedicated account executive to every client. Most companies don't do that, even though it means a higher level of service. Essentially you get what you pay for in this industry.

    Thanks
    Jeremy

    Hello,

    Limestone can provide you with a dedicated "account manager" if you intend do want one! Just ask for the same person every time your contacting support :)

    And yes, it might recieve a higher quality of support! But my experience with this when i was hosted with Caro was bad! As the account manager was living in a completly different timezone then me, and when it was day for him then it was night for me.. And the other way!

    So yes, i recieved good support from a guy that was knowledged about my story! But in return i got slow support and service!
