There's been a lot of hype about the new Bluehost dedicated server, so this might be a good time to open up the hood and take a peek inside at the specs and support offered. Up until a few months ago, the company was well known as a major provider of shared hosting packages and services. Now they have added VPS and dedicated servers to their lineup, and claim to have rock-solid infrastructure and support systems for customers who want their own private servers.

The machines are assembled by Bluehost engineers using industrial grade processors and the best parts available at the moment. These custom-built servers are then loaded with a cutting-edge operating system that is based on a custom linux kernel developed in-house. All the servers are housed in the company's own data center in Utah.

A cloud-based system bridges customers with the hardware, which means that upgrades are seamless and the customer never faces any disruption of service. Support teams work round the clock to make sure all systems are up 24/7. A nationwide fiber network and backup power provided by diesel generators makes their jobs a lot easier. In fact, customers all over the world can expect access through multiple 10 GB fiber connections.

Since all of this, including the fiber, data center and support are operated and maintained directly by Bluehost, dedicated server issues can be dealt with easily through a single contact. Unlike other web hosts who outsource functions, Bluehost customers don't get shunted off to various contractors. The average hold time for a customer support call does not exceed 30 seconds.

The control panel provided for managed servers is an enhanced version which includes administrative management tools in addition to the usual tools that shared hosting users see in their CP. The thing that really sets Bluehost apart is the instant provisioning that follows the sign-up process. The account is activated immediately, providing customers with full root access and control panel usage.

Customer data is safeguarded with a mirrored RAID system. The massive bandwidths available prevent slowdowns during network peaks. A single log-in provides access for everything from management tools to the control panels, thus adding to the security and ease of user management.

The machine configuration includes quad or dual core processors, depending on the package chosen. RAM on the machines can likewise vary from 4-16 GB, and it will have two HDDs with storage capacities of 500-1000 GB each. If necessary, storage space can be upgraded in packages ranging from 500 GB to 2 TB. Bandwidth included in the packages ranges from 5-15 TB per month.

All customers get a free domain name, 3-5 dedicated IPs and KVM virtualization inclusive in the package cost. At present, there are three separate Bluehost dedicated server packages, each of which can be paid for by the month, quarterly, half-yearly or on an annual basis. All customers opting for their own private machine have a 30-day money back guarantee, in addition to 50 percent off on the first month.
