A dedicated server is a machine owned by Primus but which is dedicated to a single customer. The customer doesn't need to invest thousands of dollars in up front hardware costs. Primus will provision and configure the server, all for a low monthly fee.

This customization process maximizes your return on investment by enabling you to purchase only the hardware you need … when you need it. As your hardware and bandwidth requirements expand, Primus can upgrade your dedicated server quickly and affordably.

Primus monitors and maintains the dedicated server hardware and network connectivity, you maintain the server software. We will assist you by providing links to online resources and guides that enable you to learn more about your server and its operation. Additional custom software and hardware support is available as part of the suite of Managed Services offered by Primus.

Is a Dedicated Server right for you?

Dedicated servers are a good choice for customers that require custom software or enhanced server control but do not want to make the significant up-front investment required to purchase a server. The fact that Primus owns the dedicated server is a significant benefit to you! Also, if a hardware component fails, we will replace it at no additional cost.
