Semi-Managed Seattle Dedicated Server

All Dedicated Servers in Seattle are Semi-Managed. 'Semi-Managed' means that: our administrators install your Seattle 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. Those who need a graphic dashboard (GUI) to manage their server can choose CentOS Web Panel (CWP), Froxlor, Vesta, another open-source control panel, or 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.

Seattle Dedicated Servers - FAQ

What is a Seattle Dedicated Hosting Provider?
A "Seattle Dedicated Hosting Provider" is a company that offers dedicated hosting services from data centers located in the Seattle Metropolitan area. Many of the large Tier 3 and Tier 4 facilities are owned by The Westin Building, Digital Realty, Equinix, TierPoint, Centersquare, Digital Fortress, EdgeConneX and many other IT facilities. They enable cloud infrastructure providers to deliver application services to the Seattle metro area, the state of Washington with an average round-trip latency of 1 ms to 5 ms.
What is the security level of my Seattle Dedicated Server?
Bare Metal Servers and Dedicated Cloud Hosting infrastructure providers in general, and those in SeattleSeattle in particular, offer the following levels of security with their dedicated hosting services:
1. Physical Environment Security
Physical environment security refers to all physical aspects of the Seattle data center facilities used to house bare metal servers. This includes the resilience against natural disasters, the physical design of the data center and the way the server rooms and cabinets are organized, as well as power redundancy, Internet network redundancy, and overall business continuity.
2. Network Security
Network security is part of the overall data center communications architecture. It includes the redundancy of fiber connectivity routes and the wide choice of ISPs and interconnection options.
3. Physical Server Security
This can also be referred to as "Bare Metal Server Security". It refers to the specific hardware components and configurations of the server that increase its uptime. These include the number of power supplies (PSUs) used, the number and capacity of network interface cards (NICs), the number and specification of hard drives used (SATA, SAS, SSD, NMVe, etc.), the use of RAID controllers, the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI, also known as ILO and iDrac by server vendors) for remote network access to the Seattle-based server, etc.
As a provider of Seattle Bare Metal Servers, HC automatically covers the highest possible industry standards regarding "Physical Environment Security" and "Network Security". Physical Server Security is a customizable element of the dedicated hosting server that is selected by the user of the physical server (i.e. the customer).
Most of our NY dedicated servers include the following "Physical Server Security" by default:
  • Redundant Power Supplies (PSUs)
  • At least 2 x 1 Gbps physical Network Interface Cards (NICs)
  • Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) and IPMI capabilities, except for the Edge servers, which are shipped with SSH management access only and are not recoverable in the event of an operating system (OS) failure that renders the server inoperable
Are there unlimited bandwidth dedicated servers in Seattle?
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 Seattle comes with a certain virtual or physical capacity of the Internet connection port, chosen by the server user. It varies from 250 Mbps to 100 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 otherwise specified, all dedicated servers in Seattle 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 Seattle 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 dedicated servers.
Is my Seattle Dedicated Server protected against DDoS attacks?
Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks typically result in service unavailability and thousands of dollars in data transfer service fees, especially if you host your IT infrastructure with one of the major hyperscale cloud providers.
HostColor's DDoS-protected dedicated servers in Seattle minimize the risk of service unavailability and virtually eliminate the risk of you incurring data transfer costs as a result of artificial, bot-generated traffic to your server instances.
When you use our Seattle dedicated servers, your applications run behind sophisticated DDoS protection firewalls, maximizing application availability. Our natural, enterprise-grade, DDoS-protected networks safeguard your Seattle dedicated server from unexpected network downtime, preventing loss of business and revenue. Our DDoS-protected network services filter out malicious traffic and ensure that legitimate traffic requests reach your servers and applications. Specifically, our DDoS protection includes the following capabilities:
  • Real-time mitigation of malicious attacks
  • Human-generated traffic that reaches your dedicated servers or cloud instances
  • Native protection against network attacks of any size
  • No additional fees or charges for DoS and DDoS protected servers and infrastructure
  • No fees for bot-generated and malicious traffic on all unmetered bare-metal dedicated servers and dedicated clouds
  • No increased latency and long round-trip delays in application delivery in the event of a network attack
  • All IPv4 and IPv6 settings are protected from DDoS attacks
Is my Seattle Edge Server protected against failure?
Yes! Each Edge server hosted in the 1000 Denny Way 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 (Link Aggregation Control Protocol ) for individual link monitoring. Your Edge 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's network architecture that feature failover protection. The overall networking architecture sustains full data transfer capacity with the failure of any single networking appliance or link. The data transfer from the Edge data centers 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 data transfer can be forwarded through both routers and will switch over automatically upon failure of any networking device.
Can I have a dedicated cloud infrastructure in Seattle?
You can use your preferred cloud computing virtualization technology to create and deploy a dedicated cloud infrastructure on a single bare metal server or a cluster of servers. If you want to use two dedicated bare metal servers, they can be directly interconnected using 1GE, 10GE, 20GE or larger NIC cards. If you need HostColor's help to create a cloud computing architecture, we can help you design one, deploy it, and manage it as needed.
Edge bare-metal servers hosted at our Seattle's 1000 Denny Way data center can use the Ubuntu operating system with Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) virtualization technology in Ubuntu 20 (or Ubuntu 22) OS..
All other HC dedicated servers in Seattle can run Proxmox VE, VMware ESXi, Linux Containers, VirtualBox, OpenVZ, Microsoft Hyper-V, Kubernetes, Docker, or other virtualization platforms.
Can I host Docker and Kubernetes containers in Seattle?
Yes. You can create and host dedicated cloud infrastructure based on Docker and Kubernetes in Seattle data centers and host containerized applications on it.
HostColor's Seattle bare metal and cloud infrastructure allows organizations to deploy run, scale up, scale down, and quickly move Docker containers and the containerized applications from one virtual containerized environment to another without interruption. Docker containers are executable software packages that contain everything needed to run an application: code, runtime, system tools, system libraries, and settings.
HC also enables enterprises to deploy a fully isolated, dedicated cloud infrastructure for hosting and orchestrating containerized applications, based on the Kubernetes open source platform for managing containerized workloads and services.
Can I have a server with AMD processor in Seattle?
Yes, we offer AMD-powered dedicated servers in a number of data centers in Seattle. We have both AMD Ryzen and AMD Epyc processor based servers in the following Seattle facilities:
  • Wowrack: 12201 Tukwila International Blvd, Seattle, WA 98168
  • Westin Building Exchange: 2001 6th Ave #350, Seattle, WA 98121
If you need a server with AMD CPUs in Seattle, please either select a server from the configurations listed above, or go to our AMD Dedicated Servers section and select one.
Is business continuity possible on my Seattle Dedicated Server?
Yes, you can do this using virtualization technology such as Proxmox VE. Proxmox provides a software stack called the HA Manager that automatically detects failures and provides automatic failover.
The Proxmox VE HA Manager acts as an "automated" administrator. After resources (VMs, containers, etc.) are configured, the HA Manager monitors them for proper functionality and handles service failover to a redundant Seattle server in case of failure or downtime. The HA manager can also handle normal user requests to start, stop, move, and migrate a service.
But it's not just Proxmox VE. There are many other technologies that enable the use of two or more physical servers to provide business continuity for IT infrastructure and hosted applications. Microsoft Windows Hyper V also allows server owners to create a high availability cluster.
What does a Semi-Managed Dedicated Server mean?
While most dedicated hosting providers offer "Unmanaged" or "Managed" hosting services, HostColor does "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 does operating system updates, software updates, and other management and configuration tasks on the physical server. In other words unmanaged dedicated servers do not feature server-side support and therefore the clients pay for the base infrastructure service. The 'Managed Dedicated Servers' feature full server-side infrastructure, OS, and software environment support and therefore are more expensive, as the provider's experts commit time and work hours to deliver technical and system administration.
HostColor fills the gap by offering "Semi-Managed" Dedicated Servers in Seattle. "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 server in Seattle. 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" Seattle 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 will be charged at HostColor's standard managed service rates.
Is there technical support available for my Seattle server?
All HostColor dedicated servers in Seattle come with "Free Infrastructure Support". HostColor never charges you for access to infrastructure technical support. Unlike the large hyperscalers like AWS, Azure and others, that charge their customers for access to technical support for their bare-metal or cloud infrastructure.
Our infrastructure technical support covers everything related to network interfaces and the core functionality of the physical components of your Seattle bare-metal dedicated server such as CPU, RAM, and storage drives. With our free infrastructure support, you can save money and have access to the technical support you need for the core components and network functions of your Seattle server.
Please note that the "Free Infrastructure Support" does not include support for the operating system (OS), any custom configurations created and maintained by the customer, and the installed software applications.
In addition to the "Free Infrastructure Support" HostColor takes the dedicated hosting services it provides to a new level of reliability with its "Semi-Managed Dedicated Servers" support.
How do I get technical support for my Seattle Dedicated Server?
The best way to get quality support is to login to your account and Open a Support Ticket. New customers, please use contacts us here). This allows us to track quality and response time and ensure that customer requests are answered promptly.
Live chat and phone support are also available. The support team also communicates with Managed Services customers via instant messaging on Telegram. However, all of these support channels are in addition to support ticket communication.
In which Seattle data centers can I have a dedicated server?

How long will it take to provision my Seattle dedicated server?
This depends on the specific Seattle metro data center you choose and the specific server configuration you require. For our most frequently used NY data center locations, it takes up to 1 hour to install your dedicated server and send the login credentials as a welcome email in your account and to the email address registered in your account. More specifically:
  • During business hours (9:00 am - 5:00 pm local time) 30 minutes - 1 hour server delivery time
  • .
  • Outside the business hours (5:00 pm - 9:00 am local time): 2 hours - 9 hours server delivery time (with an average delivery time of 4 hours)
  • Weekends: 1 hour - 24 hours server delivery time (with an average delivery time of 8 hours)
The lowest average delivery time applies to dedicated servers in Seattle that use a standard Linux operating system (OS) such as Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, or virtualization platforms such as ProxMox or VMware, and the CPU, RAM, and storage disks listed in the server plan, as well as the default IPv4 and IPv4 IP address settings.
Which OS can I use on my Dedicated Server in Seattle?
There are "officially supported operating systems" in our edge data center located at 1000 Denny Way in Seattle, where we provide bare metal servers with 5 Gbps to 30 Gbps bandwidth and unlimited data transfer. They are Ubuntu 24, Ubuntu 22, Ubuntu 20, 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. If you need to use virtual server environments on your Seattle Edge server, you can install the Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) virtualization technology in Ubuntu 20 (or Ubuntu 22) OS. VMM provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to create and run virtual machines with Linux or Windows operating systems.
In all other Seattle data centers where HostColor provides dedicated server hosting services, there is a wider choice of Linux distributions, Windows OS, and virtualization technologies such as Proxmox VE and VMware ESXi, etc.
Are Seattle dedicated server resources scalable?
The computing resources provided as part of the Seattle Dedicated Hosting service - processing power (CPU), random access memory (RAM), storage capacity used by the IT environment and applications configured on the bare metal server, the amount of data transferred, and the overall network bandwidth rate - can be scaled up to the physical limits of the physical processor, RAM, storage drive(s), and network interface cards (NICs) of the selected hardware configuration.
Depending on the selected physical server system, RAM can be upgraded to the maximum amount supported by the server motherboard. For some NY Dedicated Servers, storage drives (HDD, SATA, SAS, SSD, or NMVe) can be upgraded without powering down the physical machine. Increasing network bandwidth quotas may require powering down the server and adding additional NIC cards.
Can I upgrade the RAM on my Seattle Dedicated Server?
Yes, RAM upgrades vary depending on the processor model, motherboard, and hardware configuration selected.
Seattle Dedicated Server configurations listed with 16GB or 32GB of RAM are typically upgradeable to 64GB of RAM.
All servers listed with 32 GB of RAM or 64 GB of RAM are typically upgradeable to 128 GB of RAM, and in some cases to 256 GB of RAM.
Servers listed with 128 GB RAM can be upgraded to 512 GB RAM or even 1024 GB RAM.
Can I upgrade the data storage capacity of my Seattle Server?
This depends on the hardware configuration of your dedicated server in Seattle. If you feel that you need to increase the amount of storage you are using, we suggest that you speak to the HC team about the possibility of leasing a server that has spare HDD bays that can be upgraded with the storage of your choice.
In general, all dedicated servers in Seattle that are provisioned with one (1x) storage drive - either NMVe, SSD or HDD - can be upgraded.
Can I run Virtual Machines on my Seattle Dedicated Server?
Yes. If you have a bare-metal server hosted in our Seattle data center at 1000 Denny Way, you can use the Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) virtualization technology in Ubuntu 20 (or Ubuntu 22) OS to create, run, and manage virtual machines with Linux or Windows operating systems.
If you have a dedicated server hosted in HostColor's other Seattle data centers you can run any Linux or Windows OS, or use Proxmox VE, VMware ESXi, Linux Containers, VirtualBox, OpenVZ, Kubernetes, Docker, or any other virtualization platform.
Can I have a Cloud PC on HC servers in Seattle?
If you need a Cloud PC in Seattle with a Microsoft Windows operating system, we will provide you with a bare-metal server with Proxmox VE or a virtualization platform. It will allow you to have multiple Seattle-based Cloud PCs (aka Remote Desktops), each running Microsoft Windows 10 or Windows 11. They can be accessed securely via Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
If you want to use a Linux-based Cloud PC, we recommend Peppermint OS. It is based on the Debian/Devuan repositories.
How does HC assign IP addresses on the Seattle Server?
Each Seattle dedicated server, hosted at 1000 Denny Way data center is assigned its own IPv4 subnet which varies from /29 (8 IPs addresses) to /24 (256 IPs). The first three IP addresses are used for your server's network service 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 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 in all other Seattle data centers used by HostColor are assigned 1 usable IP address and can add more IPs at any time.
How does HostColor bill my Seattle Dedicated Server?
Once payment is made, the billing month for your Semi-Managed Seattle Dedicated Server starts from the moment we send you the login credentials. By default, all Seattle dedicated hosting services are set to month-to-month contracts to provide maximum flexibility.
You can choose between month-to-month, 3-month, 6-month, and annual contracts. If you opt for an annual contract, you will receive a lower monthly service fee. However, you will need to prepay the full contract (all 12 service fees). Please note that your Seattle Server on a month-to-month contract must be canceled properly and terminated before we stop billing you. The Seattle-based Edge servers, like other dedicated hosting services, require a 30-day cancellation notice. In some cases, we may allow early cancellations. To qualify for an early cancellation, you must submit a cancellation request from your Account 5 business days before the beginning 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 system services 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. You can rely on HostColor to install and maintain a secure, productive, and cost-effective technology environment on your Seattle Dedicated server.

Why Use Our Seattle Dedicated Servers?

HostColor provides semi-managed bare metal servers and dedicated hosting services in Seattle from data centers located at 12201 Tukwila International Blvd, 2001 6th Ave, 2020 Fifth Avenue and 1000 Denny Way. In the state of Washington, we utilize our local partners' NOCs and our own IPv4 & IPv6 networks to design and deliver network services for the public and private dedicated cloud infrastructures used by our customers. Use our Seattle dedicated servers to create a cloud infrastructure and securely host your company's internal workflows or deliver application services to your customers. Get a cloud-ready dedicated server in a Seattle data center. HostColor does not charge you for the gigabytes or terabytes of data transfer you use, and saves you thousands of dollars per month by allowing you to use an allocated bandwidth quota that varies from 250 Mbps to 30Seattle Gbps. There are a few things to consider when customizing your cloud-ready dedicated server in Seattle:
Bandwidth & Data Transfer

Bandwidth & Data Transfer

HC delivers dedicated servers in Seattle measured by the allocated "Bandwidth" quota (in Mbps or Gbps) and servers that are measured by the transmitted "Data Transfer" (in terabytes). Most of our Dedicated Servers in Seattle are measured by the allocated bandwidth and feature a fixed bandwidth rate between 250 Mbps and 30 Gbps. The clients of those servers never pay for the used data transfer in gigabytes (GB) or terabytes (TB). HostColor's Seattle-hosted servers, measured by the allocated "Bandwidth" and all Unmetered Servers save our customers between a couple of thousands and tens of thousands of dollars on an annual basis.
Linux-based Edge Server

Linux or Microsoft Windows Servers in Seattle

Our high-bandwidth, unmetered dedicated servers hosted in the 3180 Irving Blvd data center are Linux-based. Available Linux OS distributions include Ubuntu 20 or 22, RockyLinux 8 or 9, Debian 12, and RedHat versions 7.9, 8.5, and 9.3. Microsoft Windows OS can be used on virtual machines with Ubuntu as the underlying OS and Virtual Machine Manager (VMM).
All other dedicated servers in Seattle can be used with any Linux distribution, a Microsoft Windows OS, or virtualization technologies such as Proxmox VE and VMware ESXi, etc.
Server Access & Management

Seattle Dedicated Server Access & Management

Our bare-metal Edge servers in Seattle, hosted at 3180 Irving Blvd data center are managed using Secure Socket Shell (SSH). Authorized users can remotely access the Edge server using access credentials called SSH keys. We do not provide an IPMI/ILO/IDRAC remote interface for remote server management.
All other Seattle dedicated server configurations come with PMI/ILO/IDRAC remote server management interfaces, unless other specified.
Business Continuity

Business Continuity Scenario Add-on

If your Seattle Edge server hosted at the 3180 Irving Blvd data center becomes unavailable due to an operating system (OS) crash or other failure, HostColor will not be able to troubleshoot the OS via IPMI/ILO/IDRAC. In such a case, HostColor will provide you with a new replacement server. It is therefore essential to have a fully functional and operational backup copy of your data and applications or a business continuity scenario. HostColor can provide you with a dedicated, purpose-built DR and Business Continuity infrastructure at a low recurring monthly cost.
If your dedicated server is hosted in one of HostColor's other Seattle data centers, we will provide you with an IPMI/ILO/IDRAC remote management interface (unless otherwise specified in the server order).
