Dedicated Servers
Super Server
The Super Server Plan is our most capable and popular single processor dedicated server. Our latest version of the Super Server is based on Intel's newest generation Xeon Sandy Bridge processor that provides a 25% performance boost (depending on application) over the previous generation of Xeon processors. The Xeon Sandy Bridge processor has 4 cores (8 threads) with 8 MB of cache and utilizes Intel's Turbo-Boost Technology that automatically boosts processor speed when your server needs a little more power.

Account Manager with Bandwidth Monitor and Remote Reboot
Each JohnCompanies customer will have access to our Account Manager. The Account Manager allows you to monitor bandwidth usage, check your payment and billing status, update your account info and power cycle your server. The bandwidth monitor can be very useful in tracking down unusual traffic patterns by IP, server or cumulative for all servers.
The bandwidth monitor is reset to zero at the beginning of each month but a search function allows you to view previous bandwidth usage from the time your server goes online.

Remote Management Module
The Super Server Plan includes a secure Management Module (MM) with a separate IP address that allows remote out-of-band KVM access and reboot via browser and ID/password login.
The RMM is a dedicated management network interface card. It runs regardless and independent of the state of your server and does not depend on the installed OS. Some of the extensive remote management capabilities include:
- KVM (attach to your server's console as though you were directly connected via keyboard, monitor
and mouse)
- remote power management (power down/up or reset your server)
- health monitoring
- usb media redirection (mount a local CD to your server in order to load/install software)
Note: in order to use the KVM the RMM will prompt you to install a Java application.

Backup Space and Data Recovery
Local - Up to 25 GB of onsite local backup space is included with your server and there is no bandwidth penalty for using it. Local backup space is provided as a service for use by JohnCompanies hosted servers. If requested we can provide sample scripts which you can use to perform backups.
You can increase the amount of local backup space at any time with an email request . Additional Local Backup space is only $0.15/GB per month.
Offsite - As an option you can order our offsite Secure Online Backup service that allows standard offsite or geo-redundant offsite secure online filesystem backup (rsync, ftp/sftp/scp, rdiff-backup, WebDAV). This optional backup space can be ordered with your JohnCompanies server at a 10% discount from our standard pricing. You may use the Secure Online Backup service for any desktop, server, laptop, etc. you want and there is never a charge for bandwidth use. (Note however that use of this offsite backup service by your JohnCompanies server will count against your JohnCompanies server bandwidth allocation.)

Network Connection
The Super Server Plan includes a 100 Mbps dedicated connection to the Internet. Our policy on bandwidth use is to measure your total monthly data transfer but NOT limit your connect speed. In this way you will always have the ability to handle peak short-term traffic demands. We do not place a stop limit on your monthly bandwidth use unless instructed by you to do so. You will be advised via email when your monthly usage is at the 90% level. You can also monitor bandwidth usage at any time by logging into your Account Manager. Less than 1% of our customers ever exceed 90% of their bandwidth allocation.
