Managed Servers - Dedicated Server Portal
Well in the past few months I have really wanted to put an emphasise on selling some Fully Managed servers. There are a few reasons for this, firstly I have dealt with a lot of different data centers, and with a lot of clients and a lot of the time there is a lot of what I will call “lag” when it comes to us telling the client of a problem and when they tell the datacenter to fix it.
So why buy of Seeksadmin instead?
Well there are a few reasons for this, but effectivly by doing so you cut out the middle man and on a lot of that “lag” that may occour. If you have a problem and we need to contact the data center, we do it and we do not need to wait. This can stop major downtime as we can react instantly. This in itself is a major benifit as it can avert major disaster, but there is more.
We get our servers from the Softlayer datacenter located in Dallas, Texas. They are argubaly the best datacenter in the world at the moment. I have to admit at being one of Softlayers largest fans, this is because they are dedicated to their clients and are always updating their services and technology. For more information just read my review which is in this blog, I dont want to clog this post up with to much about them. Anyway, I did have a point, and that is that all our staff members have worked with and know the Softlayer system and staff. This means if your server doesnt boot or you forget your password, we can immeditialy get the server up in single-user mode and sort the problem instantly.
The last advantage is probably the smallest one, and that is that it makes your bill management easier and saves you the trouble of having to contact the datacenter. This may seem silly but in the busy world we live in those extra minutes (or hours) can be everything.
Management Portal
Before there was always one huge advantage of going with the datacenter instead of going with a reseller, and that was simple. The management portal where you can reboot, and manage your server. However we at Seeksadmin have spent a few months developing our own portal to provide you the ability to see your server stats, the hardware, the bandwidth usage and graphs, to allow you to reboot the server, to control the port speed and more. This has definetly been a major project and I am very proud of it having done a lot of the work myself.
Our portal gives you every feature you need and is on par with Softlayer’s own portal. We now provide every advantage and more of going with the datacenter. Our prices are equal to the datacenter and you also can get your management from us.
This is more of an unusual blog post from me, a bit of sales pitch here and I feel a bit like I have gone around in circles, and I am sorry for that, but I thought it was important to mention our new servers and also the portal. I will make anouther post in the coming days with screenshots of the portal and a full feature list, but for now I will keep you waiting just that bit longer
