The term has three meanings: a metered data transfer quota measured in terabytes per month on a 20-gigabit port, a specific bandwidth rate such as 5 Gbps on a 20 Gbps port, or full unmetered use of the 20 Gbps port with no traffic restrictions and no charges for traffic used. HostColor's Linux-based Edge bare metal servers offer 20 Gbps unmetered bandwidth up to the maximum capacity of the physical interface, without data transfer fees." }, { "question": "Do 20Gbps dedicated servers feature unlimited data transfer?", "answer": "Yes. There are no limits on inbound or outbound traffic and no data transfer fees. Each server with a 20 Gbps port carries a bandwidth quota between 5 Gbps and 20 Gbps chosen by the server owner, and data can be transferred without restriction up to the full capacity of that quota. A 5 Gbps quota selected at sign-up can be upgraded to 10 Gbps or 20 Gbps." }, { "question": "Is my 20Gbps Edge server protected against network failure?", "answer": "Yes. Each server has four 25-gigabit interfaces across two separate NIC cards in a single LAG with LACP monitoring, connected with two 25-gigabit links to each of two network switches. Each switch has multiple 100-gigabit fiber uplinks with failover protection, and dual diverse routers serve both the public Internet and the MPLS IP VPN network. Full data transfer capacity is maintained if a single device or link fails." }, { "question": "Is technical support available for the 20 Gbps servers?", "answer": "Yes. All HostColor 20 Gbps dedicated servers include Free Infrastructure Support at no charge, covering network interfaces and core hardware such as CPU, RAM, and storage drives. It does not cover OS maintenance, customer-created configurations, or installed applications, which fall under the Semi-Managed support contract." }, { "question": "What does a Semi-Managed 20Gbps dedicated server mean?", "answer": "Semi-Managed sits between unmanaged and fully managed hosting. HostColor administrators install the preferred OS or virtualization platform, build the environment to the customer's requirements, keep a record of the base desired state of the server, reinstall the OS on request, and help troubleshoot OS, networking, and software configuration issues. Up to 30 minutes of system administration per month is included; additional time is billed at standard managed service rates." }, { "question": "How does HostColor bill my 20Gbps server and how can I cancel it?", "answer": "Billing begins when login credentials are delivered. Month-to-month is the default. Annual contracts carry a lower monthly fee but require all twelve service fees in advance. A 30-day cancellation notice applies, and the server must be properly canceled and terminated before billing stops. Early cancellation may be granted if the request is submitted from the client account 5 business days before the start of the new billing cycle." }, { "question": "Which Linux OS can I use on my 20Gbps dedicated server?", "answer": "The officially supported operating systems on Edge servers are Ubuntu 24, Ubuntu 22, Ubuntu 20, Rocky Linux 9, Rocky Linux 8, Debian 12, and RedHat BYOL versions 7.9, 8.5, and 9.3. Ubuntu allows customers to create virtual servers. In non-Edge data centers there is a wider choice of Linux distributions, Windows operating systems, and virtualization technologies." }, { "question": "Can I have virtual machines on my 20Gbps dedicated server?", "answer": "Yes. Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) can be installed on Ubuntu, providing a graphical interface for creating and running Linux or Windows virtual machines." }, { "question": "Can I have a Cloud PC on my 20Gbps servers?", "answer": "Yes. For a Windows Cloud PC, use VMM on Ubuntu 20 or 22 to create and run Windows 10 or Windows 11 virtual machines, accessed securely over RDP. For a Linux Cloud PC, Ubuntu 20 or 22 supports VNC for sharing a graphical desktop and includes the Remmina client with VNC and RDP support. Debian 12 is another option." }, { "question": "How does HostColor assign IP addresses on the 20Gbps servers?", "answer": "Each server receives its own IPv4 subnet from /29 (8 addresses) to /24 (256 addresses). The first address is the router default gateway, the second is reserved for router1, the third for router2, and the fourth is the main server IP. Additional addresses can be ordered from the client area." }, { "question": "Is HostColor an experienced and trustworthy provider?", "answer": "HostColor's core team has managed servers and IT infrastructure since 2000, and Host Color LLC has more than 20 years in the hosting industry. The company began hosting content management systems three years before WordPress launched and had provided virtual server hosting for seven years by the time Amazon launched AWS EC2. The team has deep experience with major operating systems, virtualization technologies, Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP, and hundreds of open source applications." } ], "comparison": { "vs_hyperscale_clouds": "A flat monthly fee covers compute and unmetered bandwidth with no ingress or egress data transfer charges, which removes the per-GB egress billing applied by AWS, Azure, and other hyperscalers.", "vs_10gbps_servers": "Same Edge platform and support model with double the port capacity; bandwidth quota is selectable from 5 Gbps to 20 Gbps rather than 2 Gbps to 10 Gbps.", "related_bandwidth_tiers": ["10 Gbps", "20 Gbps", "30 Gbps", "100 Gbps"] }, "links": { "page_url": "https://www.hostcolor.com/dedicatedhosting/20gbps-dedicated-servers.html", "order_url": "https://accounts.hostcolor.com", "support_ticket_url": "https://accounts.hostcolor.com/submitticket.php", "dedicated_hosting_url": "https://www.hostcolor.com/dedicatedhosting/", "10gbps_servers_url": "https://www.hostcolor.com/dedicatedhosting/10-gbps-dedicated-servers.html", "30gbps_servers_url": "https://www.hostcolor.com/dedicatedhosting/30gbps-dedicated-servers.html", "100gbps_servers_url": "https://www.hostcolor.com/dedicatedhosting/100-gbps-dedicated-servers.html", "amd_servers_url": "https://www.hostcolor.com/dedicatedhosting/amd-dedicated-servers.html", "edge_server_hosting_url": "https://www.hostcolor.com/dedicatedhosting/edge-server-hosting.html", "unmetered_servers_url": "https://www.hostcolor.com/dedicatedhosting/unmetered-servers.html", "data_centers_url": "https://www.hostcolor.com/about/data-center.html", "network_url": "https://www.hostcolor.com/about/network.html", "json_ld_schema": "https://www.hostcolor.com/llm/20gbps-dedicated-servers.json", "llms_txt": "https://www.hostcolor.com/llms.txt" } }
