Linux Hosting
Linux is what we do best here at PowerDonkey, Even when you are hosted on a windows Server, your mail server is usually on a Linux Machine.
The reasons behind this are rather obvious, For one, we know how to manage open source MTAs (Mail transfer agents), We get to write scripts rather than make choices on a very limited amount of checkboxes that usually ships with MTAs designer for Windows.
The second important issue is Price, Not only is Windows not cheap ($2,000 per server), Software for Windows is not cheap eather, Some MTA's go for as much as another $2,000 per server, leaving us with few options, the first would be to over stack our servers, or raise our prices, And if we did, we would be charging you more for less.
for more Justification, Debian have made administrating linux so easy, Whatever we have done before takes so little time to do again.
As for the range of linux servers we manage, Here are some of the things
1- Windows and Linux servers use dedicated MySQL Linux servers, Because MySQL was made for Linux
2- Linux Plesk servers, For people who just can not live without PLESK, we have Linux Plesk Servers.
3- For those who want to host a certain application, We have servers dedicated and tuned for that application, For example, The Free EasyWebDNS Wordpress hosting is powered on our pre-tuned wordpress servers.
4- Our DNS servers are also on Linux |
