Customizable Semi-Managed Edge Server in Boston

All Edge Servers in Boston, Massachusetts are Semi-Managed. Our administrators install your dedicated server and reinstall the OS per request and help server owners troubleshoot in case of any operating system, networking, or software configuration issues. Clients can use custom IPv4 and IPv6 network settings and scale their bandwidth ports between 1Gbps, 10 Gbps, and 20Gbps. They can install CentOS, AlmaLinux, Rocku Linux, Debian, FreeBSD, Fedora, or any other Linux server OS distribution. Windows Server editions 2019 and 2022 are also available on the edge server configuration page. Those who need a graphic dashboard (GUI) to manage their server can use - CentOS Web Panel (CWP), Froxlor, Vesta, or any of the other recommended open-source control panels - or choose cPanel or DirectAdmin. To anyone who wants to use a Linux-based Cloud PC, we recommend Peppermint OS, which is based on the Debian/Devuan repositories.

Why Use Our Boston Dedicated Servers?

HostColor delivers Linux and Windows Dedicated Hosting services & Semi-Managed Servers in Cambridge, Massachusetts from Lumen's data center located at 300 Bent Street. In Boston (Cambridge), MA, we use our local partners' NOCs and our own IPv4 & IPv6 networks to design and deliver networking services for the Private and Public Dedicated Cloud infrastructures we offer to HC customers. There are some things to consider when you are customizing your cloud-ready, edge server in Boston. We would suggest you plan ahead and consider that a growing business means that you will need more computing capacity. To avoid the hassle of any future migrations, choose your server carefully by:
Cambridge, MA NOC

Premium SLA

Dedicated Hosting w/ Premium SLA

It is important for you to understand how HostColor's networking service works. Choose a certain bandwidth commitment in Mbps or go for metered data transfer. The Boston, MA dedicated servers feature unrestricted bandwidth quota on 1Gbps, 10Gbps and 20Gbps capacity ports.
High Bandwidth Dedicated Hosting

Bandwidth or Data Transfer

In Boston, MA, we deliver both edge servers measured by the allocated "Bandwidth" quota (in Mbps or Gbps) and servers measured by the transmitted "Data Transfer" (in terabytes). Do you understand the difference between Data Transfer and Bandwidth? In HC's server plans "Data Transfer" is the monthly amount of data in terabytes (TB), allowed to be transferred over your internet port. "Bandwidth" describes the overall data volume (in Mbps or Gbps) that can be transferred in a 30-day period.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my Boston, MA Edge Server protected against failure?
Yes! Each Boston (Cambridge), Massachusetts Dedicated Server has four (4x) 25-gigabit network interfaces configured for redundancy on 2 separate NIC cards. All four interfaces are placed into a single link access group (LAG) and utilize LACP for individual link monitoring. Your Boston Dedicated Server is connected to two network switches with two (2x) 25-gigabit connection links to the first switch and two (2x) 25-gigabit to the second switch. Each network switch has multiple 100 Gigabit fiber connections to the data center network architecture with failover protection. The network architecture sustains full data transfer capacity with the failure of any single networking appliance or link. The data transfer from our Boston (Cambridge) Massachusetts Edge data center to either the public Internet or the MPLS IP VPN network is secured by two diverse routers for each network. The routers are connected to a pair of network switches. The internet traffic can be forwarded through both routers and will switch over automatically upon failure of any networking device.
How does HostColor bill my Boston MA Edge Server?
After the payment is received, the billing month begins from the moment we send you the login credentials of your Semi-managed Boston (Cambridge) Edge Server. You can choose between a month-to-month contract and an annual contract. All Boston Edge dedicated hosting services are set to month-to-month contracts by default, to give you a maximum flexibility. If you wish to sign an annual contract, we will give you a lower monthly service fee. However, you will be required to prepay the entire contract (all 12 service fees). Please note that a Boston, Massachusetts Edge Server on a month-to-month contract must be properly canceled and terminated before we stop billing you. Like other dedicated hosting services, the Edge ones require a 30-day cancellation notice. However, in some cases, we may accept an early cancellation. To qualify, you must have submitted a cancellation request from your account 5 business days prior to the start of the new billing cycle.
>Which OS can I use on my Edge Server in Boston, Massachusetts?
There are "officially supported operating systems" on the dedicated servers hosted in our Boston (Cambridge), Massachusetts Edge data center location. These are CentOS 7.9, Ubuntu 22.4, Ubuntu 20.4, Ubuntu 18.4, and RockyLinux 8.6. Our clients can use virtualization such as Kernel-based Virtual Machine (Proxmox VE), VMware ESXi, VirtualBox, OpenVZ, Linux Containers, Kubernetes, and Docker.
How does HC assign IP addresses on the Boston, MA Edge Server?
Each Boston (Cambridge) Edge Bare Metal Server is assigned its own IPv4 subnet, which varies from /29 (8 IPs addresses) to /24 (256 IP addresses). The first three IP addresses are used for the network service of your server as follows: The 1st IP address is for the router's default gateway; the 2nd IP address is reserved for router1; the 3rd IP is reserved for router2. The 4th IP address is the main IP of your Boston dedicated server. Any additional IP addresses can be ordered from Accounts.HostColor.com and can be used for various services on your server.
