Server Monitoring & Advanced Server Management
 



Dedicated server hosting and colocation customers can add a full managed services plan to their existing plan at any time. Our full managed services offer you a great deal of continuous protection, server monitoring, and advanced server management.

 

Monitoring Services

Availability and Responsiveness Monitors
With SolidSpace constantly monitoring your systems, you can be assured your data is accessible all the time. We provide clients with detailed reports about uptime that can be emailed daily, weekly, or monthly. System checks are run every 90 seconds and the monitors have the ability to restore functionality without human intervention. Alerts can be sent via email, saved to a log file, execute a recovery script, restart service, or reboot the server.

Bandwidth and Hardware Monitors
SolidSpace can analyze trends and prevent downtime by fixing potential problems before they occur because of their superior bandwidth and hardware monitors. Our bandwidth and hardware monitors use standard protocols to communicate server information (available memory, processor usage, number of processes running, and free disk space). Colocation and dedicated server clients are given access to monitor their server status in 5 minute intervals too!

Troubleshooting

Apache Troubleshooting
If the problem is with Apache we will resolve the issue at no cost to you. If the problem is the way a custom script such are Perl and PHP or third party software interacts with Apache, we will try to help you identify the source of the problem so you can contact the appropriate party for further assistance. Front Page for Apache is not supported.

Microsoft IIS Troubleshooting
If the problem is with IIS we will resolve the issue at no cost to you. If the problem is the way a custom script or third party software interacts with IIS, we will try to help you identify the source of the problem so you can contact the appropriate party for further assistance.

Microsoft Terminal Services Troubleshooting
SolidSpace will troubleshoot any reported problems with the operation of Microsoft Terminal Services software. If the problem is related to Terminal Services itself we will resolve the problem for you. If the problem is related to the way an unsupported third party application interacts with Terminal Services, we will provide you with that software vendor's technical support contact information.

Operating System Troubleshooting
If the problem is with the Operating system, we will resolve the issue at no cost to you. If the problem is with the way a custom script or a non-supported third party software interacts with the Operating System, we will assist with identification of the source of the problem at no charge. Labor to solve the problem caused by other software is billable at normal time and materials rates.
