Little Owl Hosting are a dedicated server hosting company supplying high quality dedicated servers.
What unique selling points do you offer?
We feel that our dedicated servers are higher quality than our competitors. We supply HP servers, which in our opinion are the best servers in the market for their reliability, management features and operating system support.
Our network is fully redundant, with zero single points of failure.
We specialise in solutions that include multiple servers, such as load balancing, separate private networks, and easy VPN access.
Describe the services you offer?
We offer 2 basic servers, the DL320 G6 which is a single quad-core processor with SATA disks, or for more power we also offer the DL380 G6, which has 2 quad-core processors, hardware RAID and SAS drives. See our website for the full specifications.
On top of the servers, we can also supply networking support, such as private networks and VPNs.
We have also supplied complete virtualization platforms in the past. One of our customers has several servers with a SAN backend.
Describe your target market?
Anyone who relies on the applications running on their dedicated servers to support their activity.
How is your company planning for the future?
We are investing in IPv6 technologies, and we hope to be one of the first companies to offer IPv6 to all of our customers.
What benefits can you offer your customers?
We believe that our servers are of a higher quality than our competitors. Our zero-single-point-of-failure network gives the very highest reliability for our customers. Because we specialise in multiple server solutions we can supply these types of solutions more cheaply than our competitors.
How do you support your customers?
We have 24x7 support for outages, and office hours support for general enquiries. We are very proud of our support which allows you to talk to someone who knows what they are talking about all of the time. Because we are a small company, we value every customers business, and we can still show the personal touch- chances are you will get to know the staff by name.
