DRACONIS WEB HOSTING SYSTEM powered by the Cobalt Raq 4 Professional

Why get your own server?
Security
Shared web hosting servers typically have 100-200, or even thousands of other users on
them. These are people who could potentially read your files stored on the server. CGI
programs, passwords, even email could be exposed. If you run a business on your web site,
your customer's credit card numbers and personal information are at risk. With a dedicated
RaQ server, you don't have to worry about other users. Only you have access to the server
and your files are safe from prying eyes.
Speed
When the system resources are shared between 200 sites, even high-end shared web hosting
servers can experience slowdowns. When other users on the system run complicated CGI
programs or just have popular sites, your web site suffers. When your site is located on a
dedicated RaQ server, you don't have to worry about someone else's site slowing you down.
Flexibility
Feel free to install any software you like on your own server and run all the heavy-duty
programs you need. Stream audio/video, host video game tournaments, run intensive
database-backed dynamic web sites. As the server administrator, you can do pretty much
anything you like. With a shared web hosting account, you would have to ask permission and
probably pay extra for any custom software installation, if it's allowed at all.
Scalability
Unlimited email accounts. No bandwidth caps. As much disk space and memory as you want.
With a dedicated server, there's no limit to what you can do with your site. Instead of
having one slice of the limited resources of a shared web hosting server with 100-200
other users, you have control over the whole server. If that's not enough, there are
plenty of upgrades available to meet virtually any requirements.
Ease of use
Many people think that administering a server requires years of experience. If you made it
to this web page, you already know enough to administer a Cobalt RaQ server. Through its
intuitive web-based control panel, you can set up email accounts, configure web sites,
check traffic stats, and all the necessary day-to-day administration. If you're unsure of
anything, our expert staff would be glad to help you out at any time of day. Our help
system includes extensive online documentation, real-time chat forums, and free email and
telephone support.
Compatibility
The Cobalt RaQ servers use the extremely reliable and popular Linux operating system.
Virtually all popular CGI programs will run without problems on the RaQ. Microsoft
FrontPage server extensions are also supported for those who are used to Windows, but are
looking for something more powerful and more reliable.
Stability
Your business is important to you, so your online presence is critical. Sharing a web
server with 200 other users means you have an extra 200 points of failure. A
poorly-written CGI script or an mp3 file that 1,000,000 people want to download can bring
the server to its knees. When your site is the only one on the server, you don't have to
worry about what everyone else is doing.
