Hosting design. Putting together the perfect configuration can be a straining task. Whether you're looking for a partner to assist you with hosting design or simply looking for the security of having a professional, experienced team doing the work for you, WebDeal can help you.

We focus strongly on scalability, which means we will be able to offer you optimal solutions no matter how much your requirements may change over time.

We already offer:

  • Access to more than 30 high-end server centres worldwide
  • 10 Gbit redundant network
  • IBM mainframe-based systems
  • 300 TB of storage

And if your technical requirements exceed our current offers, we are open to suggestions. That's true technical excellence!

Lead time. Another aspect we highly prioritise is lead time, which is the time it takes to get a server up and running with your configuration of choice. In a market where 24/7 support and high availability are key factors, lead time on hosting of dedicated servers has been oddly long, sometimes up to 2 weeks!

In cooperation with IBM, we have been able to drastically reduce this time to a mere 3 hours with our Express Setup service. Even without this option, about 85 percent of all dedicated servers we handle end up with a lead time of two business days max from when the contract is signed.

With Express Setup from WebDeal, we guarantee:

  • Suse Linux Enterprise Server 10 installed
  • Standard Apache, PHP and MySQL setup
  • Root access
  • Firewall rules
  • Assigned IP addresses
  • PTR records

And to prove how serious we are, if we fail to deliver what has been promised we will not charge any setup fee!
