HybridCloud managed dedicated server

A physical dedicated server, also known as bare metal, is a machine reserved for a single customer. It differs from shared hosting, where several customers use a common infrastructure.

HybridCloud is based on a different approach: an environment with dedicated resources on a private cloud infrastructure. The CPU capacity and memory you order are reserved for your instance. You get identified, adjustable resources, with system administration handled by PlanetHoster.

This distinction matters when comparing offers. Renting an entire physical machine, having an instance with dedicated resources and choosing a managed server meet different needs. With HybridCloud, the goal is to have a scalable web environment without managing its technical operation on your own.

A server is more than its hardware configuration. It also needs to be monitored, its system maintained and its services adjusted. The managed services included with HybridCloud cover this day-to-day administration.

Our teams handle environment configuration, security patches, monitoring and optimisation of the covered services. They also assist you with PHP versions, databases, SSL certificates and slowness analysis.

You remain in control of your sites, your content and your access. For a specific request, the scope of the intervention is checked before it is carried out: some technologies, notably Docker, streaming solutions or complex business software, require a quoted service.

The benefit is bringing server resources and their administration together in a single offer, with a team available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The HybridCloud infrastructure relies on AMD EPYC processors and NVMe SSD storage. You choose the computing capacity, memory and space your sites and their databases require.

Sizing must take your application into account, not just the number of visitors. A heavily cached site and a store processing many simultaneous orders do not use resources in the same way.

The N0C control panel is included in your subscription. It centralises the management of hosting accounts, domains, SSL certificates, email and databases. You can also install your CMS and track the resources consumed by your projects.

For an agency, this interface lets you manage several clients without gathering all sites in a single account. You organise access and distribute resources according to each one's needs.

Access your accounts via SSH for your deployment and maintenance operations. PHP, Node.js, Python and Ruby are among the technologies offered in the N0C environment. The development tools and versions required for your project should be confirmed with our team while it is being prepared.

For an application requiring a specific service, containerisation or a specific system configuration, have the prerequisites and the scope of support validated before ordering.

Your server benefits from a 1 Gbit/s connection and unlimited traffic. The volume of data transferred and the connection speed are two distinct characteristics: the absence of a traffic quota does not mean unlimited bandwidth.

For sustained transfers or intensive file distribution, our team helps you check that the network conditions match your needs.

Do not choose based solely on the "VPS" or "dedicated" label. Also compare the resources actually reserved, upgrade options, storage, access, backups and the services included in the price.

If your current hosting regularly reaches its limits, start by examining CPU consumption, memory, disk I/O and response times. This analysis helps distinguish a need for additional resources from an application problem to be fixed.

HybridCloud lets you bring several WordPress sites together in a managed environment while keeping their N0C accounts separate. You can organise your projects, monitor their consumption and adjust their resource allocation.

Requirements depend in particular on plugins, scheduled tasks, caching and concurrent access. The number of sites alone is therefore not enough to determine the configuration.

A store must remain responsive while customers browse the catalogue, log in and check out. Sizing must take these operations into account, as well as product imports and exchanges with your business tools.

Our teams help you assess the memory, CPU and storage your environment needs. Before a sales campaign, anticipate additional requirements and plan any configuration changes.

A web application may require a specific language version, background tasks or an additional service. Present your technical prerequisites to our team to confirm their compatibility with HybridCloud.

For a database, the stored volume is not enough: queries, concurrent access and processing also influence sizing. A suitable configuration and a well-optimised application must be considered together.

Streaming, Docker, VPN or complex business software: these uses must be assessed beforehand. Supporting them may require services separate from standard managed services. This gives you a defined technical scope and budget before deployment.

Protecting your environment combines several measures: firewall, WAF for web applications, anti-brute-force mechanisms, anti-DDoS protection and server monitoring. Our teams apply system patches as part of the managed services.

These protections complement the good practices to maintain on your sites: access control, strong passwords, plugin monitoring and application update management. No infrastructure removes the need to secure the applications it hosts.

Daily backups are kept in a data centre remote from the main server. Full or partial restoration is performed from the N0C administration portal, depending on the available restore points.

For a critical project, also define your retention, frequency and recovery requirements. Storage replication and backups serve different purposes: having technical copies does not replace a restoration policy suited to your business.

Choose your hosting location according to your visitors, your organisation and your project's constraints. PlanetHoster offers HybridCloud in France, Switzerland and Canada.

A dedicated server in France lets you keep the main hosting of your sites in a French data centre. The Swiss and Canadian locations offer other possibilities for your international projects.

Before choosing, review the information specific to the selected data centre as well as the service commitments. The location of the main hosting, the location of backups and any geographic redundancy needs must be examined separately.

Changing hosting provider, or does your current environment no longer meet your needs? Our team supports you in preparing your migration.

The first step is to identify the sites, databases, mailboxes and dependencies to transfer. We then check the target configuration and the points requiring special attention, such as software versions, scheduled tasks or SSL certificates.

The transfer and checks are organised before the final switchover. An interruption may be necessary depending on the migration; its schedule must be prepared with our team. Keep your previous hosting until the transferred services have been confirmed to work properly.
