The Best in Dedicated Servers.

  
VLAN


Only at HOSTING CORP: Private VLAN for Every Server!

Every HOSTING CORP server is configured on its own private VLAN network. This means that cross traffic between servers on the same switch is eliminated, and your server is unlikely to be affected by extreme traffic or problems with neighboring servers.

Many ISPs pack as many as 254 servers on a single shared Class C N/w, but HOSTING CORP customers each receive two /30 subnets per ARIN guidelines, putting each server on its own virtual LAN (VLAN). One /30 (4 IPs) is for the interface, and the other /30 (4 IPs) are useable (Windows servers can use 2 of the 8).

Better Security

VLANs offer an effective mechanism for setting up firewalls in a switch fabric and protecting the N/w against broadcast problems that are potentially dangerous. In addition, VLANs give HOSTING CORP N/w engineers the ability to set up packet filters for your individual VLAN, which is especially useful if your server is the recipient of unwanted traffic from a specific internet host.

Many viruses, such as the recent "Slammer Worm," generate packet storms that will nearly cripple all servers on a N/w if they are not isolated into separate VLANs. In addition, some cross traffic is created by legitimate requests instead of viruses. Simple PINGs, for example, cause all hosts on a shared N/w to respond unnecessarily.

Accurate Bandwidth Billing

You will often be billed for broadcast traffic to and from other servers, including packet storms and ping requests, because this traffic is part of the total traffic measured on your switch port. HOSTING CORP does not bill for this traffic because we isolate your server on an exclusive VLAN where it is protected from broadcast traffic and packet storms.

Four IP Addresses Standard

Not only is your server on its own virtual N/w, but you also get 4 IP addresses you can use at no additional cost. Additional IP addresses are also available subject to justification per ARIN guidelines for $1 per IP additional address per month.

Your own Server and Your Own Network

This superior VLAN architecture is yet one more reason to choose HOSTING CORP. Don't settle for a shared environment on your hardware or on your N/w. HOSTING CORP provides only dedicated servers on dedicated VLAN networks. Our focus and expertise allows us to deliver superior performance and protection at an attractive price.
