How Dedicated Servers Fit into a Cloud Server World

Dedicated servers are what people used to refer to as “those things in our stockroom with the fan blowing on them constantly…ask Bill, he’s knows what they do.”  Now, with the advent of the cloud environment, there are massive unmarked server farms that look like...

what people are saying about us

Our company Bhasinsoft has been working with M5 for many years now. We run 3 dedicated servers currently and have used VMs also in the past. M5’s a great choice for anyone looking at reliability and great service support apart from the infrastructure. The support is really quick to respond and helpful. There have been a couple hardware issues but the team gave complete support for any issue that arose, which I would expect from a serious service provider. I recommend M5 and if you are looking at trying out a new service partner, don’t hesitate to try them.

 

Ankur Bhasin , Bhasinsoft India Ltd

Rex Consulting, Inc., my business, has had bare metal servers hosted at M5Hosting for over 10 years and cloud services hosted there for about 5 years. The reliability is unparalleled. Even the big guys cannot sustain the long-term reliability of M5Hosting. More than just reliable, the support from M5 Hosting is top-notch, many many times better than average or what you’ll get from a larger provider.

It’s not only that they do what they do well, you cal tell they really care to do well. And that makes a huge difference.

 

Chris P. , Rex Consulting

We had issues with one of the sites on our server getting a denial of service attack and one with out of control processes – both happening at the same time! M5 was available to us 24/7, and helped us get our server under control. They were always patient and calm which was extremely helpful as I was under a lot of pressure and issues seemed to peak at weird off hours. This scenario took a few weeks to resolve, but finally did get taken care of. I can`t recommend them highly enough – they have the best customer service anywhere around!

 

Kristine Bonner

Our company has used M5 Hosting for over 6 years. The systems we host there are critical to our business. I feel like we could not be in better hands. The downtime has been nearly zero during that time and communication and response to issues is top notch. For redundancy, we have systems hosted with other companies as well. M5 Hosting is by far the best of the bunch.

 

Neil Schemenauer, Delta-X Research

I have been a customer of M5 Hosting for over 10 years. Our company specializes in web and mobile application development and our clients rely on a consistent internet presence. M5 has provided a rock solid and secure presence for our clients. Customer service by M5 is top notch. i would recommend this company to any solutions provider that require co-location or hosting service.

 

Paul Tonning, DotClient Solutions

Extremely highly-qualified staff. Extremely well-peered network. Extremely high, unparalleled uptime. Nothing I have ever asked them has ever remained unanswered. Access to their expertise almost alone is worth hosting physical machines with them.

Very reasonable people.

I cling to my long-term relationship with these guys like the reassuring lifeboat it is.

 

Marc Tooley, Geep Technologies
