Dedicated Servers
Our Dedicated Server hosting platforms are aimed at businesses that require complete server control, want to run custom software or need targeted performance beyond the levels of our Virtual Private Server portfolio.
A Dedicated Server hosted with Sleek gives you the peace of mind that your platform is housed in a first-class data centre, benefiting from on-site technical support without making the investment required to purchase/manage/support that platform in your comms room.
The physical hardware & Internet connectivity is fully managed by Sleek Networks, while the day-to-day administration of the operating system, applications and content are left in your control.

Excellent Sevice
With a Dedicated Server, you can exercise total control over your web presence. You can choose the operating system and software you wish to use and individualise settings for your multimedia and e-commerce requirements. Dedicated hosting is the perfect solution for users with more sophisticated needs, because it permits the deployment of more complex applications, such as databases, streaming media and high end e-mail solutions.
Dedicated Servers offer excellent service options because the hardware is limited to you and your visitors utilisation. This means that Web Server performance and the security of e-commerce applications are enhanced. Security can be further improved by provisioning a managed firewall in front of the dedicated server, allowing you to enforce your own access control policy and protect your website from malicious activity.
The advantages of Sleek's Dedicated Server are summarised as follows:
Performance
You are not sharing system resources such as processor power, memory and disk space with other sites on the same server.
You do not run the risk of the server being slowed down, swamped with traffic, or crashed by another site on a shared server.
Security
As nobody else has access to the server you can be sure of having a much greater degree of security.
Custom Configuration
If you need to install special software or configure the server to your own particular needs then often a dedicated server is the solution.
Custom Firewall
Run your own custom firewall to enforce your own access control policy or use Sleek Networks managed firewall.
Your own IP address
Most shared hosting sites share a single IP address, with site traffic directed by the server examining `host headers'. In contrast, your dedicated server has its own unique IP address.
Upgrade Path
More memory, disk space or extra processors can be added as the need arises.
