My site had had several spikes in visits that had caused blockages. After an analysis I was recommended a dedicated server. I have access to the same control panel as before and no more problems due to peak visits. Now those peaks are very good earning opportunities.

I have an unmanaged server with SupportHost. Only once was I not able to fix the problem myself. I purchased a systemic intervention and in no time everything was fine again. I am recommending them to all my colleagues.
Tiziano
My site continued to grow. The SupportHost staff recommended that I move to a dedicated server. They took care of everything. Now my site can handle any spike in visits and my site is faster than ever.
Massimo
I started my blog from scratch. SupportHost was able to scale my hosting solution as my blog grew to the dedicated solution I'm using now. The ideal partner!

Thanks guys. Available fast and professional...I put them through a lot but they supported me and solved all the problems.
Unlike a virtual private server, with a dedicated server, you will have the entire machine at your disposal, so you won't have to share resources with other users.
With a dedicated hosting you will have maximum security, because you are physically isolated from all other websites. Based on your needs, we will evaluate what type of protections you need and take the necessary measures.
Our product features an advanced DDoS protection. You can read more about our DDoS protection on the blog.
We offer a "Fully Managed" level of support, which means that we will take care of everything and you will not need any kind of knowledge in server management. Obviously if you prefer there is the possibility to manage the server on your own and, whenever you need it, you can contact our support.
We want to ensure top performances for our customers.
Each server in our datacenters has connectivity up to 600 GBit/s and we only use the latest generation hardware to ensure that the performances of our dedicated servers is always at its peak.
We want to offer our customers the best possible service. We can only be successful if our customers are successful. A successful client is the one with a fast website.
Unlike a shared hosting service where a server and its resources are shared between different users, a dedicated server has resources that are only at your disposal. We are talking about RAM, CPU, disk, IP address and everything else.
We offer free transfer up to 10 accounts with the managed service if the control panels match. We plan the migration with the customer in order to avoid downtime or any other issue.
A VPS cloud hosting has dedicated resources but virtually assigned to your machine, while the physical resources are shared between multiple accounts. In case of a dedicated server you have 100% of the physical resources of your server. Both cloud VPS and dedicated solutions reside in the same datacenter, so there is no difference in connectivity.
With SupportHost there is no contract, you can cancel at any time. The minimum you can pay is for a month, we have discounts for longer periods of time. It is not possible to get your money back as this is a dedicated service created just for you.
An external server backup service is included on all servers with a Fully Managed contract. We keep 7 daily copies on an external server in a different datacenter.
If you need a restore and you have a managed plan you can contact us and for only €20 we will restore an account on your server.
During the purchase you can add additional services including a disaster recovery solution. If you decide to purchase a disaster recovery solution, you will have access to a control panel to restore your files and databases using a simple graphic interface.
There is no limit to the number of sites you can host on your dedicated server, the same goes for cloud hosting. Some control panels have a pricing system based on the number of accounts, and that could be a limit. This limit can be overcome with a different panel license.
Keep in mind that a server has finite resources (CPU, RAM, storage) and therefore there is a physical limit for the number of websites that you can host in it before you see a decline in the performances of your websites.
No, it is not necessary to have any system admin knowledge, during the order process you are given the possibility to choose a Fully Managed contract. With a monthly fee we will provide you with a complete management of the server. You will have access to the control panel and it will be as easy to manage as a shared hosting account.
We will take care of installing, updating, managing, monitoring and maintaining the server. For any issue, all you have to do is open a ticket and one of our technicians will solve the problem.
There are no limits on outgoing emails. As with the cloud VPS plans, however, we recommend setting a sending limit of 500 emails per hour. This way, if one of your sites gets compromised and is used to send spam, we have the possibility to limit the damage and prevent the IP of your dedicated server from ending up in a spam list.
On all our services we focus on quality, and quality comes at a price. The ones you see in the table are the best-selling servers, but you can find all the servers available in our cart.
When looking for a dedicated server you should not only look at the price, but also (and above all) at the specification of what you are buying and at the datacenter in which it will be located. We know that our competitors sell servers at rock bottom prices, with 16GB ram and years-old processors. If that is the deal, than it would be better to rely on a virtual machine (cloud VPS) with an updated hardware, as long as you are interested in having high performances for your website.
We have compared the features and prices of our dedicated servers with the competition and it turns out that, when providing the same hardware and level of support, we are much cheaper. We can say that considering the quality/price, we offer the best dedicated servers.
The cost of a dedicated server depends mainly on its hardware and the level of support that it offers.
Basically you can do whatever you want with a server. Besides hosting your website or app, these are the main categories:
If you get an unmanaged server you will be able to install whatever you want on it. The only limit will be your knowledge.
