FAQ's 1. What is covered under general management? General management services provide basic support for web hosting services as well as control panel troubleshooting. For a more detailed explanation, please visit: http://www.singlehop.com/managed/general-services.php 2. What is the difference between managed and unmanaged? Managed servers provide clients the opportunity to have an experienced support team monitor their dedicated server 24/7/365.  Depending on the client's demands, management can be added with four services (fully-managed) or 2 services (semi-managed).  Experienced clients can also choose to handle the server completely on their own so they are free to choose our unmanaged option.  For more information on management services please visit:  http://www.singlehop.com/managed/ 3.

I recently took a look at a dedicated hosting directory and there were more then 100 companies listed, with so many choices how does one pick the right host for their needs? To begin, the dedicated hosting market is completely saturated with everything from huge companies that own multiple data centers, (The Planet, Softlayer, Rackspace) to medium sized companies that own their own hardware but lease their data center space (SingleHop, WiredTree), to resellers who operate as middle men between their clients and the datacenter that they resell from, but don't actually own the hardware or even have hands on access to it (10TB.com, Hostgator). So what is best for you?

So you are looking for a dedicated server, and realize oh geeze I don’t know a whole lot about managing a dedicated server. Besides doing the obvious and making sure your server is managed you should think about getting yourself some sort of control panel. Control panels will give you the ability to do important tasks without knowing ...

I remember, many years ago, being extremely excited the first time I logged on the web at 56kbps, everything seemed so much faster and smoother. Then I remember being excited when I finally got DSL, speeds of 700kbps were, in my mind, the best thing ever. Then came cable, with speeds of up to 17mbps I thought that the internet age had finally "arrived". Now, what would you think when I tell you that SingleHop's network is soon to be hooked up to a whooping 80Gbps!!! Now that is something to be excited about!! By the end of June each of our data centers will have IP traffic connectivity of 40gbps from AboveNet and nLayer, for a total of 80gbps in the entire network. Keep ...

Hello it’s Stephanie again. I have an update on my experience at SingleHop as I learn the ropes of web hosting. I have to say that, so far, it has been a lot of fun meeting new people and learning tons of new information. Most of my days are kept busy with staying in touch with Team Larkin’s clients and assisting them with any requests they have. Just by doing this I am learning so much about the needs of our clients and how we can provide the best service to them.

Hello All! I wanted to announce a new promotion here at SingleHop. We are now offering free migrations from almost any of the major control panels to our cPanel servers. This is an amazing chance to move from any of these platforms, offered by most of our competitors, to a SingleHop server and the amazing quality of service that that entails. Here at SingleHop we are dedicated to providing as much value as possible with the services that we offer and this is just another way that we can assist our clients. Here is a list of the control panels that we can migrate from:

Dear clients, I am especially excited to present our new status page which you can now access by clicking here: Status.SingleHop.com Control, transparency, and openness are some of the most important values at SingleHop, and at the center of all those values is the need to be informed -that is what Status.SingleHop is all about. We strongly believe that clients deserve to know what is going on with the network they rely on and for this information to be easily accessed. At Status.SingleHop.com you can find information on any upcoming network maintenance, and in case any incident occurs with the network, up-to-date information on system incidents. For the latter reason we have taken great strides to make sure this site will stay online even ...

Hey everyone, this is J Miller. In case you haven’t heard, for the past few weeks the buzz around here has been focused on the new Data Center. While the new place IS amazing, a lot of the buzz concerned how much work it took to get it ready, and believe me, everyone worked 110% to make it happen. Now its up, and since you can find lots of technical specs about the place in our press release and website, I thought I’d give you a more personal account from when I visited this place. I took a tour of our new data center last Friday. It’s run by ServerCentral, and is located in a brand new computing facility built by DuPont Fabros Technology. From ...

I recently took the plunge and signed up for a Twitter account more out of curiosity then anything else. I had heard a lot about it and people I know had Twitter accounts, but I did not really see much of a use for it as a tool to use at work. So, at first it was just a way of letting people know what was going on here at SingleHop, but as I used it a bit more and discovered some of the clients developed using the Twitter API, it soon became another beast entirely.
