What is a Dedicated Server?
Dedicated servers are bare metal, reserved for a single customer, and stored in the highest data center. You have full control over the server, including the selection of operating systems, software, and security policies. Linux Dedicated servers and workstations can be managed or unmanaged, depending on customer choice. Dedicated workstations are ideal for experienced Linux users who require massive amounts of memory, computing power, and server-level storage.
What are data center locations of a Dedicated server?
We provide Dedicated Servers in the US from the following locations;

What are the reasons to choose a Dedicated Server?
The ultimate in power, security, and control is a dedicated server. You won’t have to share resources with anyone if you get a dedicated server. Here are some of the most compelling reasons why people prefer dedicated servers to other hosting options:
- The highest priority is security.
- You anticipate high levels of traffic regularly
- Page load times must be lightning-fast.
- You require custom programming options.
- You’re expecting a lot of growth.
VPS vs Dedicated Hosting
VPS: A Virtual Private Server still involves hosting multiple websites on the same server, but there’s a hypervisor in place to ensure that one website doesn’t start causing problems for the others. When you use VPS hosting, you’re given a certain amount of RAM, bandwidth, and server space.
Dedicated: You have complete control over the server’s hardware, including the amount and type of RAM, the size and kind of hard drive, and the processor. Furthermore, your site gets 100% of the server’s resources, which aren’t shared with anyone else.
Do you provide server management services?
We provide managed services for servers running Linux, Windows, and cPanel. Our Managed Services page explains this service in more detail and provides specifics.
Our sales team can be reached by phone or live chat if you have any additional questions about specific services or options available. They will be happy to provide further information.
Can Hivelocity help me install 3rd party software on my server?

Do you outsource your technical support?
No, our technical support is not outsourced. You can be confident that when you call, live chat, or submit a trouble ticket, you will speak with a dedicated Webconn employee located on-site in one of our data centers.
How many IP addresses will my server provide? Is it possible to buy more IPs?
Custom-Built Servers: All our Custom-Built Servers come with one free IP address. Once the server is up and running, additional IPs can be purchased for $7.50 per month. Please open a support ticket with our sales team to discuss your options and pricing for additional IPs.
Instant Deployment Server: Depending on your configuration, our Instant Deployment Servers can have up to a /29 subnet.
Does Webconn offer IRC servers?
No, you may not use IRC or IRC bots on our servers.
Is there a setup fee?
No, we usually do not charge a setup fee for dedicated servers. A setup fee may be added to account for this if you are ordering a custom-built server that requires custom hardware to be ordered. This is also true for our GPU server options.
Call or chat with a sales agent today for more information on your planned build.
How long does it take a new dedicated server to deploy?
Our Instant Deployment servers can run in at least 20 minutes, depending on your chosen OS. For our most popular configurations, the average deployment time is 7 minutes.
Windows-based servers typically take longer to deploy than Linux-based servers and build times can vary depending on location and configuration. Unless your desired configuration is unusual, servers purchased through our Tampa, Kansas, and Los Angeles locations are typically deployed on the same day. Due to shipping, other supported locations may take up to a week to deploy.
With an Instant Deployment server, what configuration options do I have?
While our “non-instant” servers have a wide range of customization options, our Instant Deployment servers are limited to your operating system, software, bandwidth, and add-on features like firewalls and backups.
There are no options to customize the hardware because our Instant Deployment servers are pre-built and already racked within one of our data centers.
Our Instant Deployment servers typically deploy within about 7 minutes of receiving your payment, making them an excellent choice when speed is critical.
What is included with a 1Gbps unmetered port?
You can access a full 1Gbps dedicated port connected to our Intelligently Routed blend of various transit providers with our 1Gbps unmetered port. You are capped at 1Gbps unless you specifically request a 10Gbps connection, and you will never be charged for overage with this package. This port is yours to use as much as you want for as long as you want.
For example, if you used your port to its maximum capacity for a month, you would receive approximately 330TB of data.
