Because we have decided to use exclusively Supermicro systems with integrated KVM over IP and virtual media over LAN (read further), and as this type of hardware is quite expensive, our Dedicated pack 1 is now discontinued and we will not accept any registration for it any more.
For dedicated servers in Europe, please go to our european server hosting page on our UK site.
ID verification & location
Because of too many hackers trying to register with fake credit cards or paypal accounts, we request our customer to send us a copy of an ID card, a passport or a driving license.
Our servers are available in both Florida and Singapore. For other locations, please get in touch for a quote.

Safe hardware:
Our platform uses standard 1U casing or normal tower box depending on the location. Our dedicated servers include at least, 0.5, 1 or 2GB of RAM, 2 big SATA2 drive using soft RAID1 (ie data redondancy) under Linux Debian Stable (customization uppon requests).
Our experience showed that Supermicro hardware are VERY reliable, and we now use only this brand for chassis and motherboards.
Location:
We currently host dedicated servers only in Singapore (South east asia), Tampa (Florida, USA) and Paris (France). We can host dedicated servers in other location uppon requests, but this can be subject to a higher price (ask a quote on our contact form).
Bandwidth:
Your bandwidth is fully burstable up to 10 Mbits in most of the location where we do web hosting. Please get in touch to get an URL to test the speed in the location of your choice.

KVM over IP and Virtual Media Over LAN
The main problem when you have a dedicated server is when you have to reboot it, and then it doesn't come back online. This problem is now over thanks to the hardware that we have selected for you.
All of our new dedicated server (and Xen servers) have a very cool feature: a KVM over IP and a virtual media over LAN.
With the integrated KVM, you can even go in the BIOS of your server to change some settings, deactivate a hard drive that is failed, and so on. You can of course decide to power up and power down the server. This also supports systems like Windows in resolutions up to 1240x1024 (even though we never tested it as it's still quite slow to access).
This KVM over IP is still to be considered as an emergency tool, more than something you will use for your every day maintenance (for that, you should continue to use the normal remote tools like ssh, FreeNX, or Remote Desktop (R) that are faster and more easy to use for every day), but when you first taste it, you really don't want to hear about a server without it. It quickly become a have-to tool that will save you in case of a trouble.
The virtual media over LAN enables you to select a location where an ISO (cd-rom image) is saved. This can be a windows shared folder, or a folder shared with Linux using Samba. Then this "network CD image" is seen by the server as an USB cdrom that is emulated. Using this, you can boot on any diagnostic CD-ROM image (like Ultimate Boot CD, an HDD-free Linux distribution like Knopixx and so on), or even boot on the setup CD of your favorite operating system. Once your system is working, you just click on the web interface and your CD is "removed" from the server.
If you don't have a space to store your ISO file with a fast access to the internet, we can provide you such space for free (but of course, you will have to upload your file).
With the Supermicro KVM over IP and Virtual Media Over LAN, it's almost impossible to be stuck because of a software issue on your server: you will ALWAYS be able to debug it.
Operating system:
The above mentioned server with standard and minimalistic (to keep secure) Debian system preinstalled. Other types of Unix can be installed upon request. This server will already be ready for hosting. Only packages needed for hosting will be pre-installed to keep the install as secure as possible. We setup for free Debian Stable and our control panel DTC.
If you wish to setup any other operating system, and use any other software, we can still "try" to help you, but always consider it as a bonus and no obligation on our side. You should be able to setup any type of operating system by yourself using the Supermicro integrated KVM over IP and Virtual Media Over LAN, so you an do any operation by yourself.
If you wish to install an operating system with a paid license, this is your responsability to purchase the license (like if you wish to use Microsft Windows (R)).
Fees:
Price of the setup is not included in the above ($200 for our pack 1, and $400 for higher), and will apply when you order. Monthly costs are to be paid in advance. Later all maintainance (software and hardware) is free of charge.
You might find our prices more expensive that what you can see elsewhere, that is mainly due to the fact that we ALWAYS use RELIABLE and FAST hardware, with RAID1. Also, we pay for high quality bandwidth, and this has a cost too. We are NOT crasy discounters, and we will never be. Also, you will have real advices by a trained technical team, we WILL help for any problem that you will encounter, even the most complicated one. This is why since the begining of GPLHost in 2003, none of our Dedicated server customers have left.
Take all that into account when you make your decision.
Features:
- DTC control panel for easy configuration
- For those who wishes to resell VPS, we can setup Xen in your Dedicated server.
- In most location, if you can provide justification, we can provide as many IP as needed (if the amount is reasonable)
- Unlimited technical support (email + phone hotline + instant messenging + monitoring)
- Slave DNS and MX service (if using DTC control panel) on another datacenter
- Free file backup service automated if you are using our control panel, done over local network or within a local disk (trafic is not accounted when backuping)
- Firewall and trafic control adivce and installation (iptables and tc utility management)
- Integrated KVM over IP and virtual media over LAN
