For most websites a shared hosting solution is perfect. However there are times when a dedicated server is the best way to go, especially for websites with high demands and heavy traffic or when a greater level of security is required.

We can provide either a dedicated virtual server, or your own physical server, depending upon your needs.  A unique IP address will be assigned to your server and backup services are available.

If you have multiple devices we can create a private network that may include a dedicated firewall and dedicated NAS for backups.

Our experts will recommend the best build-out to meet your technical, performance, and budgetary needs. So when you require better performance or enhanced security simply ask our team to provide you with a recommendation and estimate.

Why colocation?

Many times it's because customers want a powerful internet connection, and to put it simply we're wired for that. We also have a secure facility, a factor for many. Some customers are nation-wide choosing our Midwest location for a variety of reasons such as optimal access to antenna networks and satellite dishes. They also find us more competitively priced than many other Midwest providers of similar services.

Many of our clients colocate with us to:

• Save time and costs -- Since you share a data center with other businesses, you avoid the cost of building a hosting environment.
• Reduce overall cost of IT management as you utilize our technicians only as needed.  Our team works with your team to determine who performs which duties.
• Avoid power capacity challenges that come with building a data center.
• Flexibility to expand as your needs change.
• Personalized touch with over 30 years of serving our clients in this capacity.

Most small businesses have security software and an onsite backup system as part of an overall security plan.  This is to prevent viruses, malware, ransomware, hackers, etc. from harming your day-to-day operations and stealing your data.

We all try to keep "the bad guys" out, but a day does not go by without hearing how sensitive corporate and government data are stolen even with security systems in place . . . ugh! There is no way to guarantee security 100% of the time.

Well what happens if the security breach also  compromises your onsite backup? What do you do then?

An offsite backup system is truly one of the best "insurances" to restore your lost data to the previous backup taken.  Backing up your corporate data to Comstar's offsite backup data center provides another level of protection.  We can help bring your business operations back online if unforeseen events occur such as fire, flood, theft, etc.
