Large Tier 3 and Tier 4 facilities operated by Equinix, Lumen, CyrusOne, Digital Realty, Data Foundry, LightEdge, DataBank and American Tower EDC are located in Austin, allowing providers to deliver application services across Texas and the Southern United States with an average round-trip latency of 1 ms to 3 ms." }, { "question": "What is an Austin Edge Server?", "answer": "A bare-metal or cloud server hosted in an Austin data center physically close to the application's users, giving the lowest possible round-trip delay. It can run an OS directly on the physical hardware, or act as an infrastructure node hosting virtual servers created with Virtual Machine Manager on Ubuntu 20, 22 or 24, with Linux or Windows guests." }, { "question": "What is the security level of my Austin Dedicated Server?", "answer": "Security operates at three levels. Physical environment security covers the data center facility, disaster resilience, room and cabinet design, power and network redundancy, and business continuity. Network security covers redundant fiber routes and the choice of ISPs and interconnection options. Physical server security covers the hardware itself: PSUs, NICs, drive types, RAID controllers and out-of-band management. HostColor covers the first two at the highest industry standards; the third is customized by the customer. Most Austin servers include redundant PSUs and at least 2 x 1 Gbps NICs by default. Edge servers ship with SSH access only, without IPMI." }, { "question": "Does my Austin server feature unlimited data transfer?", "answer": "Yes. There are no limits and no fees on inbound or outbound traffic for an Edge bare metal server at the Austin Data Center Building, 4207 Smith School Road. Each server has a port of 5, 10, 20 or 30 Gbps chosen by the owner, and data can be transferred up to the full capacity of that port. A 5 Gbps port can later be upgraded to 10, 20 or 30 Gbps depending on the server's network interface." }, { "question": "Is my Austin dedicated server safe from DDoS attacks?", "answer": "Yes. Applications run behind enterprise-grade DDoS protection firewalls that filter malicious traffic while letting legitimate requests through. Protection includes real-time mitigation of attacks of any size, native protection for all IPv4 and IPv6 settings, no additional fees for DDoS-protected infrastructure, no charges for bot-generated traffic on unmetered Edge servers, and no added latency during an attack." }, { "question": "Is my Edge Bare Metal Server in Austin protected against failure?", "answer": "Yes. Each server has four 25-gigabit interfaces across two NIC cards, placed in a single LAG using LACP for per-link monitoring, connected to two switches with two 25-gigabit links each. Every switch has multiple 100-gigabit fiber uplinks into the data center fabric. Full capacity is sustained through the failure of any single appliance or link, and traffic to the public Internet or the MPLS IP VPN network is carried by two diverse routers with automatic failover." }, { "question": "Can I have a dedicated cloud infrastructure in Austin?", "answer": "Yes, on a single bare metal server or a cluster. Two servers can be directly interconnected with 10GE NIC cards. Available platforms include Proxmox VE, VMware ESXi, Linux Containers, VirtualBox, OpenVZ, Microsoft Hyper-V, Kubernetes and Docker. Edge servers running Ubuntu 20, 22 or 24 can use Virtual Machine Manager to create cloud servers." }, { "question": "Can I host Docker and Kubernetes containers in Austin?", "answer": "Yes. Dedicated cloud infrastructure based on Docker and Kubernetes can be deployed in the Austin data center, letting organizations run, scale and move containers between environments without interruption. Fully isolated infrastructure for orchestrating containerized workloads with Kubernetes is also available." }, { "question": "Is there technical support available?", "answer": "All Edge servers include Free Infrastructure Support at no charge, covering network interfaces and the core physical components: CPU, RAM and storage drives. It does not cover the operating system, customer-maintained configurations, or installed software. In the event of a major hardware or OS failure, HostColor will most likely deploy a new server rather than repair the existing one, so customers should keep a functional backup of their environment, applications and data. Semi-Managed support is available in addition." }, { "question": "What does a Semi-Managed Edge Server mean?", "answer": "Unmanaged hosting leaves the client solely responsible for the server; managed hosting puts the network, hardware, OS and software environment under the provider. Semi-Managed sits between them: HostColor administrators install the preferred OS or virtualization platform, build the environment to the customer's requirements, keep a record of its base desired state, reinstall the OS on request, and help troubleshoot OS, networking and software configuration issues. Up to 30 minutes per month of administration is included; additional time is billed at standard managed service rates." }, { "question": "In which Austin data centers can I have a dedicated server?", "answer": "The Austin Data Center Building operated by Lumen at 4207 Smith School Road, Austin, TX 78744." }, { "question": "What certifications do the Austin data centers have?", "answer": "HostColor serves the Austin area from Tier 3 and Tier 4 facilities. Certifications vary by facility, but in general the Austin data centers used are ISO 27001, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified as well as SSAE16 SOC I, SOC II or SOC III certified, and all are HIPAA and PCI-DSS compliant." }, { "question": "How long will it take to provision my Austin dedicated server?", "answer": "During business hours (9:00 am to 5:00 pm local time), 30 minutes to 1 hour. Outside business hours, 2 to 9 hours with a 4-hour average. On weekends, 1 to 24 hours with an 8-hour average. Credentials arrive as a welcome email in the account and at the registered address. The fastest times apply to standard Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux." }, { "question": "Are Austin Edge Bare Metal server resources scalable?", "answer": "CPU, RAM and SSD or NVMe storage are scaled by adding a new bare metal server and clustering it with the existing one. Data transfer is unlimited up to the physical or logical limit of the selected bandwidth quota, which ranges from 5 Gbps to 20 Gbps or 5 Gbps to 30 Gbps depending on the system chosen." }, { "question": "Which Linux OS can I use on my Edge Server in Austin?", "answer": "Ubuntu 20, 22 and 24; Rocky Linux 8 and 9; Debian 12; and RedHat (BYOL) versions 7.9, 8.5 and 9.3." }, { "question": "Can I have Virtual Machines on my Edge Server?", "answer": "Yes. Virtual Machine Manager can be installed on Ubuntu, providing a graphical interface for creating and running virtual machines with Linux or Windows operating systems." }, { "question": "Can I have a Cloud PC on my Austin Edge server?", "answer": "Yes. For Windows, select Ubuntu at sign-up, then create a Windows 10 or 11 virtual machine with Virtual Machine Manager and connect over RDP. For Linux, Ubuntu 20, 22 or 24 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 HC assign IP addresses on my Edge Server in Austin?", "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 server's main IP. Additional addresses can be ordered from the HostColor account area." }, { "question": "How does HostColor bill my Austin Edge Server?", "answer": "The billing month starts when login credentials are sent. Customers choose month-to-month (the default) or annual; annual carries a lower monthly fee but requires prepaying all twelve service fees. Month-to-month servers must be properly canceled and terminated before billing stops, with 30 days' notice. Early cancelation is sometimes allowed if requested from the account at least 5 business days before the new billing cycle begins." }, { "question": "Is HostColor an experienced and trustworthy provider?", "answer": "Host Color LLC has over 20 years in the hosting industry, with a core team managing servers and IT infrastructure since 2000. The company was hosting content management systems three years before WordPress launched and had been providing virtual server hosting for seven years when Amazon launched EC2.
