If availability is crucial to you, we recommend certified Data Centers, i.e. EuNetworks.

 

If you would like to test the Internet speed to resources hosted on our servers, you can make use of Speedtest or Looking Glass without having to wait for the deployment of the test server.

 

You can request a test server if you would like to:

  • test the compatibility of the software and the chosen configuration of the dedicated server or VPS with GPU cards;

  • make sure that the server configuration chosen is capable of all the tasks at hand and that server upgrade (RAM, HDD, etc.) won’t be necessary in the near future;

  • evaluate the performance of HOSTKEY’s servers in practice.

When providing a test server, HOSTKEY uses an individual approach to every client. On average, the trial period is 3 days.

 

If you would like to get further information regarding getting a test server and/or terms and conditions of the service, please contact our managers.

 

After the trial period is over, you can pay for the server and continue using it. If we haven’t received your payment within 3 days after the end of the trial period, the server will be terminated and all data deleted.

Customers whose servers come with unlimited bandwidth are committed to a fair usage policy.

That means that servers on the 1 Gbps port cannot use more than 70% of the allocated bandwidth for more than 3 hours a day.

FAQ

What hard drives go into storage servers?

There are two main types of drives — HDD and SSD, as well as a derivative hybrid - SSHD. They differ in structure, specifics of work and performance. Drive selection depends on the tasks of the server: it can be a separate server for specific purposes or a common server with different functions. It also takes into account the planned load in the form of the number of calls, the required data processing speed, and storage capacity.

How do you handle DMCA for data storage servers?

Hostkey complies with the requirements of the DMCA for data storage servers. We remind you that the server tenant is directly responsible for the content hosted on the server.

Why do I need VLAN/VRACK for a storage server?

VLAN is a virtual type network, you can configure it on a switch (smart or managed) of the second level.

VLAN allows:
  • - build a network with an independent logical structure;
  • - split one such domain into several;
  • - protect the network from outside interference;
  • - group PCs that are on the same network;
  • - perform routing by use of virtual ports.
vRack is a virtual rack that allows you to combine multiple servers (regardless of the number and physical location in our data center) and connect them to a virtual switch on the same private network. Servers will be able to communicate privately and securely with each other (within a dedicated VLAN).

What is the main benefit of a storage server?

The main advantage of a storage server is the space provided for storing files. It is available to all computers on the network. It is the useful option when you need to access the same file — you don't need to make multiple copies. You can track files because they are all stored in the same place. Storage servers allow you to manage your data better and provide additional security.

What makes a storage server a better solution than NAS?

Servers are much more powerful and allow for a lot more customization, than NAS.

Server benefits include:
  • - a wide variety of configurations and specializations;
  • - powerful processing and sharing capabilities;
  • - protection against accidental deletion, downtime and cyber attacks.

How are storage servers and cloud backup different?

Using storage servers you should manually select files you want to store. Cloud backup services work automatically to save and sync files stored on your computer. Hostkey are serious about keeping your data secure.

What are the advantages of backing up data to a server over storing it locally?

The advantage of backing up data to a server is the ability to access files from any location where there is Internet access. You don't have to use physical drives for backing up data.

FAQ

What are SAN and NAS data storage solutions?

SAN stands for storage area network. These are several cheap storage servers combined into one system. And you can access this network from a computer. There may be several computers connected to the SAN. For the user, it all looks the same as if several hard drives with a large amount of memory were connected to their computer, but in fact everything is remote.

NAS stands for network-attached storage. This is a possibility to rent a storage solution and not to buy it. So instead of buying expensive hard drives and external data drives, you can rent them remotely for as long as you need.

You can purchase both data storage solutions from HOSTKEY. Contact our manager, and they will provide you with a suitable option for your tasks.

What is a ready-made storage system in HOSTKEY?

We have ready-made and tested cheap storage dedicated servers, you can pre-order it today, and we will give access as soon as possible. All options are displayed on this page. You can also consult with our manager, they will help you make a choice based on the goals of your business.

Can I receive a custom-made storage system?

You can build a high storage dedicated server for yourself on our online configurator. Select controller card, hard drive, SAS, FC, NET adapter, and other parameters. If you are confused because of the large selection, it's okay! Our manager will advise you in detail and help you with the choice.

Can I entrust my data to your storage server?

Of course! Storage dedicated servers will be used only by you, your data will not fall into the hands of third parties. We can guarantee this, as we provide round-the-clock physical and online protection, including free basic protection against DDoS attacks.

What if I want to change the storage dedicated server or refuse the service?

By pre-order, you can order a new setup of a rent storage server for your project. Money is not refunded for services already paid for, we are confident in their quality, and you can also make sure of it on a free three-day test period. To request it, please contact the manager.

We refund the money only in case of problems on our part, when the server was unavailable for 24 hours.
