Customizable Semi-Managed Edge Server

All Dedicated Servers in Charlotte, NC are Semi-Managed. "Semi-Managed" means that: our administrators install your Charlotte Edge dedicated server to your custom configurations, reinstall the OS per request, configure the network settings on the bare-metal server, and help you troubleshoot in case of any operating system, networking, or software configuration issues. You can use custom IPv4 and IPv6 network settings and scale your bandwidth between 1 Gbps and 30 Gbps. Install Ubuntu, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Debian, FreeBSD, Fedora, CentOS, or any other Linux server OS distribution. Windows Server editions 2019 and 2022 are also available on the edge server configuration page.

Charlotte Dedicated Servers - FAQ

Are there unlimited bandwidth dedicated servers in Charlotte?
Yes, if by "unlimited bandwidth" you mean no restrictions on incoming and outgoing Internet traffic and no charges for data transfer used. Each dedicated server in Charlotte comes with a certain virtual or physical capacity of the Internet connection port, chosen by the server user. It varies from 250 Mbps to 30 Gbps. There are no limitations or restrictions on the used bandwidth used or data transfer quotas, up to the capacity of the Internet connection port, selected by our clients. Unless there is "Data Transfer" quota specified in the server offering, all dedicated servers in Charlotte offered by HostColor feature "unlimited bandwidth up to the capacity of the Internet connection port". This is also called "unmetered bandwidth", which is actually a more appropriate term to use.
"Unmetered Bandwidth" or "dedicated server with unmetered bandwidth" means that the hosting provider does not measure the bandwidth used by the server. In Charlotte and most of its other Edge data center locations HostColor allows its customers to use the full capacity of the physical Internet bandwidth port of their edge dedicated servers.
What are Edge Servers?
The Edge Server (including your Charlotte Dedicated Server) is a "Bare-Metal or a Cloud Server that: a) is hosted in a data center physically located in the region or metropolitan market where its users are located; b) provides the lowest possible round-trip delay for application delivery (typically less than 5 milliseconds).
In HC's Edge Server section, we offer an Edge Bare Metal server. To get an Edge Cloud Server, go to our Cloud section.
Is my Charlotte Edge Server protected against network failure?
Yes! Each dedicated server hosted in our Charlotte Edge data center 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 Edge Dedicated Server in Charlotte 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's failover network architecture. The entire network architecture maintains full data transfer capacity in the event of a single network device or link failure. Data transfer from our Charlotte data centers to either the public Internet or the MPLS IP VPN network is secured by two independent routers for each network. The routers are connected to a pair of network switches. Traffic can be routed through either router and will automatically switch over if either network device fails.
How does HostColor bill my Charlotte Dedicated Server?
After the payment is received, the billing month begins from the moment we send you the login credentials of your Semi-Managed Edge dedicated server in Charlotte. You can choose between a month-to-month contract and an annual contract. All Charlotte dedicated hosting services are set up on month-to-month contracts by default, which gives you flexibility. f you wish to sign an annual contract, we will give you a lower monthly service fee, but you will be required to prepay the entire contract (all 12 service fees). Please note that any Charlotte dedicated server hosted in our local edge data center and used on a month-to-month contract must be properly canceled and terminated before we stop billing you. All Charlotte dedicated hosting services, including Edge servers, require a 30-day cancellation notice. However, in some cases we do allow early cancellation. To qualify for an early cancellation, you must have submitted a cancellation request from your account 5 business days prior to the start of the new billing cycle.
Is HostColor an experienced and trustworthy provider?
HostColor's core team has been managing servers and IT infrastructures since 2000. As an organization, Host Color LLC has over 20 years of experience in the hosting industry. To illustrate HostColor's experience, consider these two facts: HostColor started hosting content management systems three years before WordPress was launched, and had already been providing virtual server hosting services for seven years when Amazon launched its AWS with the Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). HostColor's team members have extensive experience with major operating systems, virtualization technologies, Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP, and hundreds of open-source applications at any stage of their development and business lifecycles.

Which OS can I use on my Charlotte Dedicated Server?

They are Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 20.04, Rocky Linux 9, Rocky Linux 8, Debian 12, RHEL (BYOL) 9.3, RHEL (BYOL) 9.0, RHEL (BYOL) 8.5, and RHEL (BYOL) 7.9.

How does HC assign IP addresses on the Edge Servers?
Each Edge Server hosted in our data center located at 4021 Rose Lake Drive is assigned its own IPv4 subnet that varies from /29 (8 IPs addresses) to /24 (256 IPs). The first three IP addresses are used for the networking service of your server as follows: 1st IP address is for the router default gateway; 2nd IP address is reserved for router1; 3rd IP is reserved for router2. The 4th IP address is the main IP of your Edge Dedicated Server. Any additional IP addresses can be ordered from Accounts.HostColor.com and can be used for various services on your server.
Customers with dedicated servers hosted at Charlotte 2 data center are assigned 1 usable IP address and can add more IPs at any time.
What does a Semi-Managed Dedicated Server mean?
While most dedicated hosting companies offer 'Unmanaged' or 'Managed' hosting services, HostColor provides "Semi-Managed" and "Managed" Dedicated Servers. 'Unmanaged' means that the client is solely responsible for the management of the bare-metal dedicated server they have. The provider's responsibility is to make sure that the server network connection works properly and in case of a hardware failure, to fix the failed components, or to replace the whole physical server.
'Managed' means that the provider is responsible for managing the network, the physical server, the installed operating system, and the software environment. The provider performs operating system updates, software updates, and other management and configuration tasks on the physical server. In other words 'Unmanaged Dedicated Servers' do not come with server-side support as the customers pay for a basic infrastructure service. The 'Managed Dedicated Servers' feature full support of the server-side infrastructure, OS, and software environment and are therefore more expensive, as the provider's experts spend time and work hours to provide technical and system administration.
HostColor fills the gap by offering "Semi-Managed" Dedicated Servers in Charlotte. "Semi-Managed" means that our administrators install your preferred OS on the physical server or your preferred virtualization platform to transform the physical server into a Cloud infrastructure. We create a custom technology environment per your requirements and keep on record a description with the 'base desired state' of your Dallas server. As a part of the "Semi-Managed" support contract, HostColor reinstalls the server OS per the request and helps the client fix issues and troubleshoot in case of any operating system, networking, or software configuration issues. All 'Semi-Managed' Dallas dedicated servers feature up to 30 minutes per month of technical and system administration. Any time spent by HC experts on managing the server OS, software environments, or troubleshooting is charged per standard HostColor's managed service provider (MSP) rates.
