This site contains the following information:
Features
- 8 Core Xeon Server
- Our server are equipped with two Quad Core Xeon CPUs and thus offer large amounts of speed and capacity.
According to its size, every cloud server has a guaranteed CPU-Time Slot, however if there is more available then it will be automatically useable. - RAID 10
- To produce adequate I/O Performance as well as prevent data loss through damaged hard-disks all our servers are mounted with a RAID 10 Storage and a RAID-Controller with rechargeable battery pack. In rare case of a breakdown, these features will ensure that no data is lost.
- Fixed Storage Space and no over-booking
- Contrary to many other provider we do not overbook memory nor disk-space. Every cloud server has is full memory allocated at all times. Storage is not shared with other cloud servers.
- Build and re-build
- Die building of a cloud server takes, depending on the chosen software distribution package , about 1-5 minutes. Therefor your cloud server is ready to go in no time. You can add cloud server at your convenience, to have more capacity at hand. You can re-build your cloud server at any time and change the software distribution package. Basically all this is just two mouse-clicks away.
- Reboot
- Would you want to reboot, you can restart the server using the self-management interface (basically pulling the plug). There is no need to access the server. A soft-reboot (shutdown and restart) is possible as well.
- Statistics
- In the self-management interface you will also find all statistical information about your cloud server. Up till two years of information is available and can be analyzed using the Ajax Interface.
The following data is gathered: Disk IO, Network IO, CPU-Load and Uptime. However if you want to see the data of the hosting hardware you can also view the Uptime and CPU-Load of the underlying server. - Firewall
- To make sure that your cloud server is safe and secure we have added an inbound and outbound firewall that is manageable through the same self-management interface. The firewall is actually running outside your cloud server which means that you do not have to worry about administration or maintenance of that firewall. You only care about the actual rules that apply to your server.
- Backups and Restore
- To be able to restore your server after a small or bigger catastrophe, we allow you to make snapshots of the complete server. By pushing the button you can restore those snapshots, that can be made on a daily,weekly, monthly basis. You decide yourself how many copies you want to keep for how long. You can also use these snapshots as a basis for building a new cloud server (cloning). Again you will use only minutes of your valuable time.
- DNS Verwaltung
- Using our self-management interface NEtmonic allows you to administrate your domains and host your DNS zones at Netmonic. DNS-zones are for free and can be used for domains that are not hosted by Netmonic as well. Our DNS-server are fully and multiple redundant in Europe and the USA.
- Ajax Console and root-password-reset
- Whenever you are lost in space network-wise and you can not connect to your own cloud server anymore, we provide you with a self-develoepd Ajax-console that provides you with a rescue opportunity as if you would actually plug in a monitor/keyboard in the server. Even loosing your root-password is no major catastrophe, since we will regenerate the root-password automatically on your request and send it to you per Email. Asynchronously encrypted when needed.
Why we are the best in the cloud!
Have a look around and compare prices, services and features. You will find ow that most of the service providers are "sheep in wolfskin". Classical hosting with a virtual server topping.
We are proud to write CLOUD-COMPUTING in capitals. We take the lead with a knowledgeable and experienced team. Our self-management interface is unique, based on our experiences with cloud-computing over the past years. We have developed that self-management interface ourselves to allow for rapid reaction to a fast paced virtual world. We build new functions and features on a monthly basis. Independent of the moods and pace of the big VM providers.
Solutions
You are free to combine your cloud server with other Netmonic products and services. DNS, domain hosting, web-space. And do not forget that our POP/IMAP mail-services are complete free of charge. Register your Blackberry/iPhone with us and we can offer you a complete Hosted Exchange solution with your domain.

| Cloud Server 12GB | 12 GB | 480.0 GB | 2000 GB | € 504 |
Billing is done monthly in advance, however ow pay for what you use, which means that if you use your cloud server only for 12 days you will get the remaining days of the months back.
Shortly we will even reduce this to the actual minutes that you have the cloud server in use.
Was ist Cloud Computing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Cloud computing is the provision of dynamically scalable and often virtualised resources as a service over the Internet on a utility basis. Users need not have knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure in the "cloud" that supports them. Cloud computing services often provide common business applications online that are accessed from a web browser , while the software and data are stored on the servers. The term cloud is used as a metaphor for the Internet, based on how the Internet is depicted in computer network diagrams and is an abstraction of the underlying infrastructure it conceals.
A technical definition is "a computing capability that provides an abstraction between the computing resource and its underlying technical architecture (e.g., servers, storage, networks), enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction." This definition states that clouds have five essential characteristics: on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, and measured service.
