Unless you lease an expensive 'managed server' package, typical dedicated web hosting consists of leasing an Intel or AMD computer connected to a high-speed Internet backbone. LOD Consulting can provide all the OS and software setup, and system administration for all your dedicated hosting needs. The cost to set up your own dedicated server is quite low. A basic UNIX server setup with Linux, Apache, and SendMail installed is usually under $200. From initial setup - to ongoing administration and maintenance - LOD consultants can securely handle all your server requirements remotely - and for a fraction of the cost of managed host programs. After your dedicated server is configured, you can add dozens - or hundreds - of additional domains on the same server. [You are only limited by by the amount of bandwidth utilized]. The cost for leasing a dedicated UNIX server (Dual Intel Xeon 2.4 GHZ) with monthly bandwidth of 100 GB runs about $200 per month. For companies that have their own IT department, LOD's 14 years of experience is a tremendous resource to assist your own personnel in developing solutions that save both time and money. Cheap $19.95 virtual hosting accounts often means your website is shared with literally thousands of other sites on the same server. If many of these sites are getting considerable traffic, your site will slow down to a crawl.

Hosting Options
Dedicated Servers. A dedicated server is one which you lease from any one of a variety of hosting companies for your exclusive use, or, 
if you have a high-speed Internet connection in your area, a UNIX server can be installed right in your home or office. LOD Consulting offers remote system administration services for virtually any dedicated UNIX server located anywhere in the world.
LOD Consulting can assist you in finding a quality dedicated hosting company that is connected to a super-fast backbone connection to the Internet, to insure a hassle-free, no-worry solution for your high-end server needs.
Colocated Servers. A colocated server is one which you own and locate at a hosting company that provides direct access to a major Internet backbone connection. 
This may either be a server you already own and ship to the hosting company, or one which is purchased from them directly. In either case, complete system administration can be handled remotely by LOD Consulting.

LOD Consulting also provides the latest Internet security protection for every server it sets up, and can survey your existing UNIX installation to determine any security weaknesses, and apply the appropriate corrective measures to eliminate any breaches to your system. Also see Internet Security.
