Month-to-month and other terms are available by clicking Configure on the order page.", "faq": [ { "question": "What is an Edge Server in Amarillo, Texas?", "answer": "A bare-metal or cloud server hosted in a data center in Amarillo, Texas, physically close to end users, delivering round-trip delays typically under 5 milliseconds. Can run as a dedicated server with an OS installed directly on the hardware, or as an infrastructure node hosting virtual machines created with Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) on Ubuntu, supporting Linux or Windows guest operating systems." }, { "question": "What is an Amarillo Dedicated Hosting Provider?", "answer": "A company offering dedicated hosting services from data centers located in Amarillo, Texas. A server qualifies as an Amarillo Edge Server if it delivers applications to North Texas and neighboring parts of Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, and Kansas with roundtrip latency of roughly 1-10 milliseconds." }, { "question": "Is my Amarillo Edge Server safe from DDoS attacks?", "answer": "Yes. HostColor's edge bare-metal servers run behind DDoS protection firewalls that mitigate attacks in real time, filter malicious traffic, and pass through legitimate requests, at no extra cost, without added latency, and covering IPv4 and IPv6 configurations." }, { "question": "Do Amarillo Edge Servers feature unlimited data transfer?", "answer": "Yes, inbound and outbound data transfer is unmetered with no additional fees. Each server includes a chosen bandwidth port capacity (5, 10, 20, or 30 Gbps) and owners can transfer data freely up to that port's capacity, with the option to upgrade the port speed later." }, { "question": "Is my Amarillo Edge Server protected against network failure?", "answer": "Yes. Each server has four redundant 25-gigabit network interfaces across two NIC cards, combined into a LACP link aggregation group and connected to two separate network switches, each with multiple 100-gigabit uplinks. Dual diverse routers provide automatic failover so full capacity is maintained if any single device or link fails." }, { "question": "Can I have a dedicated cloud infrastructure in Amarillo?", "answer": "Yes, a dedicated cloud infrastructure can be built on a single bare-metal server or a cluster of Edge servers using the Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) virtualization technology on Ubuntu, and HostColor can help design, deploy, and manage it." }, { "question": "Can I host Docker and Kubernetes containers in Amarillo?", "answer": "Yes, Amarillo bare-metal and cloud infrastructure supports deploying, scaling, and migrating Docker containers, as well as fully isolated dedicated cloud environments for orchestrating containerized workloads with Kubernetes." }, { "question": "Is technical support available for Edge Servers?", "answer": "Yes. All HostColor Edge servers include free infrastructure support covering the physical components and network interfaces (CPU, RAM, storage, networking), at no charge, unlike many hyperscale cloud providers. This does not cover OS maintenance, custom configurations, or installed software, which are addressed under the Semi-Managed support tier." }, { "question": "What does a Semi-Managed Edge Server mean?", "answer": "Semi-Managed sits between unmanaged and fully managed hosting: HostColor installs the requested OS or virtualization platform, documents the server's base desired state, reinstalls the OS on request, and helps troubleshoot OS, networking, or software configuration issues, including up to 30 minutes of system administration per month, with additional time billed at standard managed-service rates." }, { "question": "How does HC bill my Edge Server and how can I cancel it?", "answer": "Billing starts once login credentials are issued. Servers default to month-to-month contracts, or clients can prepay an annual contract for a lower monthly rate. Month-to-month services require a 30-day cancellation notice, with early cancellation sometimes possible if requested at least 5 business days before the next billing cycle." }, { "question": "In which Amarillo data centers can I have a dedicated server?", "answer": "HostColor delivers Amarillo edge bare-metal servers from the Lumen data center facility at 512 SE 8th Avenue, Amarillo, TX 79101." }, { "question": "What certifications does the HC Amarillo data center have?", "answer": "The data centers HostColor uses are Tier 3 and Tier 4 facilities certified to ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and SSAE16 SOC I/II/III standards, and are HIPAA and PCI-DSS compliant." }, { "question": "How long will it take to provision my Amarillo dedicated server?", "answer": "Provisioning typically takes up to 2 hours. During business hours (9am-5pm local time) delivery averages 30 minutes to 1 hour; outside business hours it ranges from 2 to 9 hours (average about 4 hours); on weekends it ranges from 1 to 24 hours (average about 8 hours)." }, { "question": "Are Amarillo dedicated server resources scalable?", "answer": "CPU, RAM, and storage can be scaled by adding and clustering additional bare-metal servers. Data transfer is unlimited up to the selected bandwidth port, which can be scaled up to 20 Gbps or 30 Gbps depending on the system chosen." }, { "question": "Which Linux OS can I use on my Edge Server?", "answer": "Supported operating systems include Ubuntu 20, 22, and 24, RockyLinux 8 and 9, Debian 12, and RedHat (BYOL) versions 7.9, 8.5, and 9.3. Ubuntu also lets you create virtual servers." }, { "question": "Can I have Virtual Machines on my Edge Server?", "answer": "Yes, the Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) virtualization technology can be installed on Ubuntu OS, providing a graphical interface for creating and running virtual machines with Linux or Windows operating systems." }, { "question": "Can I have a Cloud PC on HC Edge servers?", "answer": "Yes. For a Windows Cloud PC, sign up for an Ubuntu-based edge server and use VMM to create a Windows 10 or 11 virtual machine, accessed via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). For a Linux Cloud PC, Ubuntu (20, 22, or 24) supports VNC and includes the Remmina client for VNC/RDP access; Debian 12 is another Linux option." }, { "question": "How does HC assign IP addresses on the Edge Servers?", "answer": "Each Edge Server receives its own IPv4 subnet ranging from /29 (8 addresses) to /24 (256 addresses). The first three addresses are reserved for the router default gateway and two routers, the fourth is the server's main IP, and additional IPs can be ordered separately." }, { "question": "Is HostColor an experienced and trustworthy provider?", "answer": "HostColor's team has managed servers and IT infrastructure since 2000, predating WordPress and having offered virtual server hosting for years before AWS EC2 launched, with broad experience across major operating systems, virtualization technologies, and open-source applications." } ], "related_links": { "dedicated_hosting_category": "https://www.hostcolor.com/dedicatedhosting/", "bare_metal_servers": "https://www.hostcolor.com/dedicatedhosting/bare-metal-servers.html", "gpu_dedicated_servers": "https://www.hostcolor.com/dedicatedhosting/gpu-dedicated-servers.html", "windows_dedicated_servers": "https://www.hostcolor.com/dedicatedhosting/windows-dedicated-servers.html", "unmetered_servers": "https://www.hostcolor.com/dedicatedhosting/unmetered-servers.html", "data_centers": "https://www.hostcolor.com/about/data-center.html", "networks": "https://www.hostcolor.com/about/network.html", "managed_hosting_services": "https://www.hostcolor.com/about/managed-hosting-services.html" }, "last_updated": "2026-07-26" }
