Give your business room to grow

Is your business growing fast? Maybe it could grow a lot faster? Either way, a Dedicated server hosting will provide the perfect platform for all your business needs.

Hosting your business on a shared server is absolutely fine, until you start to run out of personal space. After all, your business can't grow unless your server can handle demanding levels of traffic and downloads. With Dedicated servers you get all the space you need and more.

Freedom and security

You get complete freedom with a Dedicated server hosting - you can install the software of your choice. Dedicated servers are also highly secure, as you don't have to share your access rights with outside parties.

Dedicated servers are provisioned within 24 hours.

What is a dedicated server and why might I want one?

Because you're not sharing the space with anyone else, dedicated servers offer improved performance and flexibility over shared hosting. You'll get the full advantage of the processing power of the machine, no artificial cap on the amount of bandwidth you can use, and complete control over your hosting set-up. With dedicated servers you get all the space and tools you need to host multiple sites on a single server.

What can I use my dedicated server hosting for?

Provided it's in line with our Terms and Conditions, you can use your dedicated server hosting for whatever you like - be it developing websites for other people, hosting your business website or even setting up an online store.

Do I need any technical knowledge to operate a dedicated server?

We make everything as simple as we possibly can, but you will need a basic knowledge of how dedicated servers and virtual servers work.

Your level of control will be such that you will be completely responsible for setting up websites on the dedicated server hosting and deciding their bandwidth and web space allowance, as well as managing the files they upload. You will also need to ensure you create backups of the data stored on your server.

What does unmetered or unlimited bandwidth mean?

Unmetered / unlimited bandwidth means that there is no limit set on your account for the amount of traffic visiting your sites. Many hosting companies set an artificial limit and then charge you extra if your site's popularity causes you to exceed this limit. However, because we have access to our own tier 1 network we are able to offer our customers unmetered bandwidth on the 123-reg dedicated servers product range. You will therefore be able to use as much bandwidth as the physical capabilities of the server allow.

We really want unlimited to mean unlimited for everyone, but to prevent those annoying few from spoiling the party an acceptable usage policy applies.

How long does it take to set up?

How long does it take to set my Dedicated server up? Your new Dedicated server will become active within the next 24 hours. If you have questions, like - what are dedicated servers or how they work - don't hesitate to contact our support team.

But can't I host my dedicated server in-house rather than with you?

Of course you can - but you'll probably find that it's much cheaper and less hassle to go with 123-reg dedicated servers. After all, you get uninterrupted access to our powerful tier 1 network, carrier-class high-security data centres, and experienced technicians who can be on site 24/7.

What operating system and web server will I be supplied with?

Our Windows servers are supplied with Windows 2003 Web Edition and Microsoft IIS, and our Linux servers are supplied with Ubuntu and Apache.

What software can I install on my server hosting?

Whatever you like! But please bear in mind that we are only able to offer support for a server as supplied, and if you do not take up the option to have root access.

Do I get full access to the server?

By default you will not be given "root" access to the server, as most of the functions you are likely to need can be performed using your web-based control panel. However, if you wish to have root access to your own server, you are welcome to request it via your control panel. Please note that if you do so, we will subsequently be unable to provide a patching and update service or offer any technical support. . You would therefore need to be solely responsible for its security and maintenance.

Should I back up my data?

We strongly recommend that you create your own data backups. Don't forget that backups don't just protect against you losing everything in the unlikely event of a hardware failure - taking regular backups also means that if any changes you make cause problems you can reinstate the last working configuration of your system.

How do I get support?

Getting support from us is easy. Simply visit our support site. Once logged in, you can browse through hundreds of helpful articles. And if you still can't find your answer, just ask our support team. To do this click the ASK A QUESTION tab, and we'll get back to you promptly.

Is there a minimum contract for dedicated servers?

You have a 12 month contract for your Dedicated server. After this time passes we will renew your contract on a yearly basis.

How can I pay for my 123-reg server?

You can pay monthly or annually for your dedicated server hosting, using your credit or debit card. Please note, there is no set up charge for annual payments.
