Run your own grid? You betcha!
Want to control every aspect of your own private or public grid? SimHost can manage all the technical operations behind your grid for some pretty decent rates.
Standalone Mini-Grids
As an alternative to a full grid, we can provide standalone mini-grids. These are a single region package with an inbuilt set of grid services - ideal for small grids. This gives you many of the features of a dedicated grid at a substantially lower price. If you are connecting two or more seperate packages together, you will need to order a dedicated grid - see below for more information.
Our Standard Packages (Standalone Compatible)
Dedicated Server Offer
Already have a dedicated server region package with us already? We'll happily configure you a web frontend & grid servers on it for you for free as part of your dedicated server order.
Just contact us at time of purchase (or afterwards) and we'll get that setup for you.
Dedicated Grids
If you need to run a grid with more than one server attached to it - you need to start looking at dedicated grids. We'll keep an eye on the core services and make sure they run smoothly; so you can worry about the important parts. All grid hosting is performed on a dedicated server - we've given some sample configurations below with pricing. We can even provide you with root access to these servers (subject to a terms of use agreement regarding spam and illicit content.).
Dedicated grids provide you with a great deal of power over your grid - including direct database access for editing user information or integration with outside packages. We provide full-service maintainence of all the core grid service applications, including 24/7 realtime monitoring for failures.
Maximum User Counts are a suggested value - some grids will be more or less intensive than others and actual performance may vary.
