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 change over time.

We already offer:

  • Access to more than 30 high-end server centers 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 prioritize 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, 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 lead time on mainstream enterprise configurations, such as the ones listed above, down 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 maximum 2 business days from when the contract is signed.

With Express Setup from WebDeal, we guarantee:

  • Windows 2003 server installed
  • Standard IIS and ASP.NET setup
  • Administrator 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!
