Dedicated Servers

Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Microsoft Windows Server 2003, and Unix FreeBSD & Linux Dedicated Servers

  • Basic Description: Almost all of our servers are custom built to your specifications. Once built, we rack it at our co-location facility, install OS, and provide you with the admin login name and password.

  • We pride ourselves providing our customers with true-non-oversubscribed connectivity, this means that our network is more robust with much less latency and oversubcription than what our competition is offering for the same pricing.

  • How are we different?
    • We actually customize each server. Plans that available here are well predefined, very carefully thought out and reasonably priced.
    • If you require customized solution you can always email us and we'd be more than happy to discuss it with you.
    • All of the hardware components are being fully tested before assigned to each customer. We use Seagate and Western Digital drives and Kingston memory. We do not use cheap substitutes.
    • Bandwidth and network wise - we are fully redundant. All connections to the CIFNet network come with BGP (Border Gateway Protocol). In the BGP-world, every ISP/NSP operator has its own Autonomous System Number (ASN). Each ASN has a unique number. CIFNet is known to the Internet community as AS14585.
    • Redundant routers and switch configuration ensures network stability and scalability.
    • We maintain co-location space with two Data Center (co-location) operators. They are Switch and Data and CRG West in Chicago, IL. Switch and Data is one of the nation's leading carrier-neutral colocation provider. For more information about the site at Switch and Data click here. Likewise, CRG West is a premier co-location and data center management company.

    • Easy to understand contracts and sign up paperwork. Our agreements are truly simple.
    • We offer Unix-based solutions, as well as MS Windows ®
