There are 3 ways to host

Colocation: Your businesses' servers will be placed in our racks or you may rent a full rack.
Virtual Machine: The system admin responsibilities are the same as with Colocation -- you should be comfortable with Linux or FreeBSD. The difference here is that we fully manage the hardware layer. Also, you can cut costs by being on a 'shared' VM -- we put your VM on a box with other VMs. Your VM will be isolated on a software layer from the other VMs and you data will be secure from the other instances. This is a great starter step if you are not sure if you need a whole server.
Basic Hosting: We put your data on a machine with one hundred other domains. No one gets shell access, just 'chrooted' FTP. You get one MySQL table and may run PHP. Cost effective!

Colocation

Our goal is to keep prices as low as possible, offer stellar network performance, encourage our customers to host greener machines, and provide quality service. To keep our costs down, we negotiate multiple year contracts with our providers, manage all the network equipment ourselves, and rely mostly on word-of-mouth to get new customers. Our current customers run the gamut in size: most have one server, others rent full racks from us.

What is colocation?

Colocation means that your server will be plugged directly into the MonkeyBrains network. Your computer will live at a MonkeyBrains facility - not at your business or house. If you want your own machine on the Internet and desire full control of it, this is your most cost-effective way to do it. If you don't have a server and want one, let us build it for you -- we have been doing that for 12+ years.

What are your prices?

MonkeyBrains is competitively priced. Prices are dependent on your bandwidth, power, and admin needs -- contact us for a quote. Just to give you an idea, a one amp server with less than 1Mbps of traffic, and no admin will cost $125/month - no setup fee. If you buy a power efficient box from us, we will host it for $75/month.

Virtual Machine

• $50/month
• Bandwidth: 150GB/month
• Space: 50GB (which is in a mirrored RAID configuration)
• Choice of Linux or FreeBSD

This is similar to owning your own machine, and a good stepping stone to full colocation. MonkeyBrains builds a machine and splits it up into several virtual machines. You will get the 'root'

If you want your own machine on the Internet and desire full control of it, this is your most cost-effective way to do it without having to buy your own hardware. The Operating System on the virtual hosting machines are automatically updated by monkeybrains. We offer discounts on multiple jails (set up multiple development environments).
