The BlueWater Virtual & Dedicated Server Systems

If you plan to grow your web business, the BlueWater Virtual and Dedicated Server System is for you. Your BlueWater virtual server will allow you to establish an Internet presence on multiple high speed OC-12/DS-3 connections (expandable up to OC-192) at a fraction of the cost of a dedicated server (which BlueWater also offers).

Normally, to establish a presence on the Internet, it would require you to purchase a high speed Internet connection, costly equipment, and a fulltime support staff. With the Virtual Server System, you get the Internet services you need without the worries and costs of a dedicated Internet connection (and your customers will not be able to tell the difference). The BlueWater hosting solution allows you to start small and scale upward to whatever server and bandwidth combination fits your needs. And, BlueWater Tech Support will be with you every step of the way, assisting you and underwriting your success.

Our customers range from small businesses to large corporate clients. BlueWater server architecture is the most robust and flexible in the industry and is specifically designed to grow with you. Customers use their BlueWater server solutions for e-commerce, on-line auctions, chat forums, virtual postcards, polls and surveys, live audio and video, secure conferencing, market research, banner advertisements, shopping carts, email (virtual post offices), classified ads, databases, search engines, on-line stores and malls and much more. You simply cannot do all this at your complete discretion with the typical hosting solution because you do not have "root access" to your own server. With BlueWater you do.
 

How It Functions

Find out more about BlueWater's unique way of providing an affordable Internet presence and why BlueWater's Virtual Server System is superior to the typical Virtual Hosting system. The core services of BlueWater's Virtual Server System- WWW, FTP, CGI, Email, and POP are all completely configurable under the Linux OS and Apache. For example, your virtual server includes an entire httpd directory tree to include your own cgi-bin, configuration files (httpd.conf, et al), and log files (access, error, and referer logs). Thus you can customize and configure your virtual server's WWW service to meet your specific needs (and meet them immediately) since you have complete control of your virtual server. We even install a graphic control interface panel to make administration easy, and for resellers - telnet access.
 

So Why a Virtual Server?

With a true By choosing BlueWater you choose control, you choose flexibility, and you choose scalability because all of BlueWater's hosting plans use this technology. For example, unlike most providers who will charge you for additional POP email accounts as your business grows, because they only offer a Web Hosting solution, BlueWater does not limit you or bill you extra because with a Virtual Server, all the POP email accounts belong to you and are part of your Virtual Server. Your growth potential is unlimited! As your business grows, your Virtual Server can grow with you, into one or even many dedicated servers, seamlessly. Why start with anything less? Don't let a misinformed technical decision now, limit your success in the future.

Technical Advantages of Bluewater Servers

BlueWater's unique Virtual Server is achieved by multiplexing a single dedicated server into a system of multiple virtual machines. Each virtual machine, or Virtual Server, is given its own IP address, domain name, web server with complete logs and configuration files, ftp server, pop  server, and smtp gateway. In addition to increased performance and flexibility, BlueWater Virtual Servers also  offer "Virtual Hosting" capabilities. In other words, Virtual Hosting is just one more feature of BlueWater's Virtual Servers. BlueWater Virtual Servers allow you to create virtual domain web hosts under you, virtual e-mail, virtual  ftp logins, etc. In essence, you can become a virtual hosting company without the costs. Most providers only offer virtual hosting, which is  simply a single feature of our Virtual Servers.  A real Virtual Server is not simply a virtually hosted (Virtual Host) site on a web server we control, rather we give you "virtual root" access. When using your Virtual Server, you will see directories such as "dev", "usr", "bin", "etc". In your "etc" directory you will find your own "passwd", "aliases", and "sendmail.cf" file which allows you unlimited flexibility to add as many POP accounts, aliases, and autoresponders as you need. With BlueWater Virtual Servers, you will also find an entire "usr/local/etc/httpd" directory structure, including your own httpd.conf, srm.conf, and access.conf files, your own logs, and cgi-bin. 
Essentially, a BlueWater Virtual Server acts and behaves like a dedicated server. You have complete  control of your web, ftp, and e-mail services. The basic differences between an BlueWater dedicated server and an BlueWater Virtual Server is the disk space and the price. When you and your business are ready to upgrade, we will assist you. 
 

What it Cost & Getting Started

Have a look at our comprehensive options and pricing page. You receive all the features you need without any hidden charges. Many hosting companies price their services similarly to BlueWater. However, if you read the fine print you will see that they charge additional fees for features that BlueWater offers standard and free. For example, BlueWater offers you unlimited POP email accounts, not just email aliases, which allows you to set-up true email accounts for all your partners and employees. BlueWater also provides you with plenty of disk space and data transfer so you can grow your web presence without being penalized for your success. Keep in mind that with most other hosting companies, you do not have your own virtual server, only a virtual host. Finally, you have absolute freedom to cancel at any time. Reseller accounts are billed monthly and user accounts are billed monthly or quarterly.
