Frequently Asked Questions
-
How does the cost of dedicated hosting compare to other types of hosting, and is it worth the investment?
Dedicated hosting comes at a premium, but for that premium, you get more server power, more bandwidth, and the support you need to make your web services a success. Blacknight is also unique in that we can offer fixed-price contracts, so you can plan and budget your IT costs properly, not hidden variable rates based on traffic of bandwidth.
-
What kind of support and maintenance services are included with dedicated hosting plans?
Anything you require – we can provide bare metal that you can set up and use on your own all the way to us managing every aspect of your server. We can be as hands on, or hands off as you like based on your business requirements.
-
How do I choose the right dedicated hosting provider for my needs?
The biggest things to look for are the uptime of the data centre facilities, overall cost – whether it’s monthly, yearly, or fixed, and what kind of managed support you’ll need (managed or un-managed).
-
What are the benefits of using dedicated hosting for my website or application?
You have complete control of your entire web application requirements and don’t need to share server space with any other website. It allows your website to accept huge amounts of traffic and scale up and scale down as needed based on demand. You can also customise the hosting environment with whatever type of Linux you want and which control panel to use (among other software you choose to use).
-
What is dedicated hosting, and how does it differ from other types of hosting?
Dedicated hosting is where you buy or rent all the hardware you need to run your online infrastructure. Dedicated hosting usually means dedicated hardware (or dedicated cloud services) and more control over your hosting environment. Other types of hosting are usually shared – where you share the server with thousands of other websites. Dedicated, you control the whole server, and all the resources are yours.
Blacknight Network
Blacknight is one of the few hosting providers to have designed & built its own network, specifically to meet the needs of our customers.
Core:
Our network uses high-speed Cisco routers with multiple 100Gbps links, allowing us to handle big traffic spikes without impacting other customers. We use advanced routing (IS-IS, BGP, MPLS) to ensure the highest level of reliability.
IPv6 Ready:
Our network supports both IPv4 and IPv6 (old and new internet systems), so customers can be covered either way using either one or both.
Peering:
Blacknight connects directly to major European internet exchanges AMS-IX (Amsterdam), DE-CIX (Frankfurt), INEX (Dublin), and LINX (London) as well as top content providers like Netflix, Google, Facebook, and Akamai. This ensures your data travels quickly and efficiently across the internet.
RIPE:
We're part of RIPE NCC (the group that manages IP addresses and internet resources in Europe). We also stay active in the broader internet and ISP community to help improve how the internet works.
Optimised Routing:
Our smart routing system makes sure your data takes the fastest, most reliable path. It automatically avoids problems like delays or dropped packets, and our team keeps a close eye on everything to maintain top performance.
