ReliableSite Hosting now provides an exciting feature for customers who run their own network: announcing your IPs under your own ASN. The best part is that it's available free of charge! Customers could previously announce their IPs on our network, but this is one step up. Any customer of ours with their own ASN (Autonomous System Number) can publicly show their IP ranges as their company name, instead of being announced as ReliableSite. This is a huge upgrade as it provides seamless integration with our network operations. We look forward to hosting providers who rely on us for their backbone and infrastructure. Importance of ASN and IP Announcements We are proud to be a trusted network for many companies and work with many providers who want to grow their own companies. If you are not familiar with ReliableSite, you can read more about our network here. If your company runs its

Hosting companies have to be more in this day and age. In the hosting world, the types of products and buzzwords change every year, so running a hosting company becomes less simple over time. Still when we look at which things remain the same, these are the details which become very important. For example, when we asked our techs what task is repetitive throughout their day, there is always one clear answer: OS Installs. Back in 2016, we announced our very first Automated OS installer. The main goal was to automate installs, not just to improve the time our techs spend on these recurring tasks, but to help customers get things done quicker. We realize that as a growing hosting company, we can't  rely on “one size fits all” software options for our business. This means we have to calculate the value of developing our own. We have to hire programmers,

We're happy to announce significant upgrades to our 1-click OS installer for Ubuntu Servers. This will make installations of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22 faster, more reliable, and more flexible than ever before. All operating systems available through ReliableSite are installed with the "1-click" feature, but we still consider improvements to existing features to provide a better overall hosting experience. These operating systems in particular were re-engineered from the ground up. Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: Reworked Auto Installer Our commitment to improving user experience continues with the overhaul of the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS installer: Increased Success Rate: The reworked installer significantly improves the reliability of the OS installations. Quicker Installation Times: Enjoy faster setup times, letting you get up and running without delay. Software RAID Capabilities: The updated installer for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS supports software RAID configurations for servers equipped with two or more identical drives. Ubuntu 22: Re-engineered for

Monthly spending on a dedicated server adds rewards points that can be used for free upgrades. Dedicated hosting users can now increase the value of their investments with ReliableSite’s Loyalty Rewards Program. The program gives customers the ability to upgrade their dedicated server components with points accumulated at every billing cycle. This is one of the only comprehensive loyalty points systems currently available in the dedicated hosting industry. The average dedicated hosting customer spends over $100 per month on their service. Business owners know that dedicated hosting and dedicated servers are an important expense. They frequently see their costs rise as the business receives more web traffic and needs better specifications or more servers. With ReliableSite’s rewards points, otherwise cost prohibitive upgrades can add value and speed to hardware.

To purchase a rapid deploy server, visit our Dedicated Servers or Clearance Servers pages, and select a configuration with a 10 minute setup. A ReliableSite dedicated server can now be in a customer's control within 10 minutes, with a new rapid deploy system from the hosting company. Using automation technology developed in-house, ReliableSite is offering preconfigured dedicated servers that will be available to customers with the requested operating system loaded. The rapid deploy servers will be sold in popular configurations, ranging from Quad Core to 44 Core servers. The servers are marked as having a 10 minute setup time, instead of the regular time. The availability of rapid deploy servers relies on ReliableSite's automation technology, which was first announced in March 2016. This feature is still available for customers who choose to custom configure their dedicated servers or reload it after purchase. "Speed is essential to dedicated hosting, and the time it

We're proud to announce that ReliableSite is an early sponsor of free certificate authority, Let's Encrypt, to support the ongoing issue of internet security. Secure web browsing and hosting is an ongoing challenge in the hosting industry but one with solutions. Although ReliableSite does not provide web hosting or website certificates, it is a Silver Sponsor due to Let's Encrypt's unique nature. The company issues certificates for free and the work is open source (supported by the Linux Foundation). Let's Encrypt has issued more than 1.7 million certificates (for more than 3.8 million websites) since 2015. “When we first heard about the development of Let's Encrypt, we thought it was a great idea that deserved support,” said CEO and founder of ReliableSite, Radic Davydov. “Now we are proud to say that ReliableSite is a Silver Sponsor of Let's Encrypt, and we look forward to their next steps.” Let's Encrypt works in

ReliableSite has become one of the world's first dedicated hosting companies to deploy and offer servers based on Intel's brand-new Xeon E5 v4 processor. With every server including best-in-class distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) protection at no charge, the new E5 v4-based servers are available now at the company's top-tier data centers in the New York metro area and Miami. With a standard 100% uptime service level agreement and a network blend of premium carriers, ReliableSite focuses on providing the most reliable possible service to every client at attractive prices. "We're happy to report that we have started offering dedicated servers with the new Xeon E5 v4," ReliableSite CEO and founder Radic Davydov said, "This new generation of Xeons represents a real leap over the successful v3 family, with some attractive new virtualization-related features, higher maximum core and thread counts, and boosted memory throughput, as well. We're proud to be among the first

In 2016 DDoS attacks targeted at ReliableSite’s network and dedicated servers, have increased as much as 27%. To protect our hosting customers, we are announcing support for a vital feature: protection for up to 100 Gbps DDoS attacks. The importance of DDoS protection cannot be understated. ReliableSite receives large attacks on its network, as well as multiple attacks of smaller size in single instances. These attacks are unpredictable and therefore dangerous to businesses that need to be up and running consistently. Even a short denial-of-service attack, if it is able to reach a server when no protection is in place, can cause a business to lose revenue or even their reputation in their industry. ReliableSite continues to offer free DDoS protection on all servers, which can now be upgraded in increments up to 100 Gbps. Customized DDoS Protection ReliableSite’s DDoS protection is provisioned in-house and does not use tunneling, which means

We are excited to announce a feature that our development team has worked very hard to produce: an Automatic Operating System Installer. Our dedicated hosting customers will now be able to re-install the operating system on their dedicated server at their convenience. Our technicians spent a good amount of time re-installing OS's for customers and sometimes it required that customers wait for other tasks to be completed. With automatic OS installs available to customers, we can can reduce costs and reassign data center technician to other types of work. These costs will be passed down to customers in many ways, as automation typically shows. Customers don't have to open a support ticket, and will find the "Re-install OS (beta)" function under the OS and Login credentials. This is the most recent of several projects to make unmanaged hosting easier, including our hosting API, a hardware health feature, and a security vulnerabilities scanner. Developing this tool

ReliableSite introduces pro-active hardware monitoring that will prevent the loss of three things vital to a business: data, revenue and reputation. The hardware monitoring is available for all dedicated servers in ReliableSite's data centers. It will significantly reduce downtime caused by dedicated server hardware issues. The time between when a dedicated server begins to malfunction and when it's detected is critical. ReliableSite's hardware monitor inspects the servers in its data centers for issues with the following: hard drives, SSDs, motherboards, network adapters, optimal system temperature and other abnormal system behavior. It is a pro-active measure for ReliableSite's customers, which works by scanning through all IPMI logs and sensors to detect unusual hardware-related activity. "We are happy to add another feature to our lineup," said Radic Davydov, "This one will protect our vital infrastructure, and that of our dedicated hosting customers." Server hardware monitoring complements ReliableSite's other protective features, including our free
