You've come to the right place, 3Essentials has tailored our offerings to meet the diverse needs of our customers. Below we'll discuss briefly the differences between our server offerings to better help you decide which option is right for you. And of course, if you have any questions don't hesitate to call us at our 800 number listed at the top of every page.

Managed Servers - Perfect For Small Business Owners
Many offerings from our competitors label Managed Servers as a dedicated server that they provide support for when there is a technical problem. At 3Essentials, we take it a step further. When you purchase a Managed Server from 3Essentials you're outsourcing your server administration to us. That means we retain administrator and RDP access and manage the Windows OS, PLESK Panel (including it's components such as DNS, DB, E-Mail), IIS as well as the hardware and network. You do not need to have in house server administration experience, we take care of all of that for you at one low affordable price. Our Managed Servers are perfect for web site Designers, Developers and Owners who want to focus on their Small Business Website or Businesses that want to host their customers web sites without the hassle of adiminstering a server.

Dedicated Servers - Designed For Technically Savvy Administrators
For the experienced server administrator. If you already have the experience to administer servers, then our Dedicated Servers with full Administrator (via RDP) or Root (via SSH) access is probably the right choice for you. 3Essentials will support the Hardware and Network and provide basic troubleshooting or OS rebuilds and you can take care of the rest. If you need technical support we can provide that as well, just review our hourly support pricing below.

Virtual Servers
Virtual servers from 3Essentials allows for full redundancy and a lower cost of ownership. By default, our virtual servers come with RAID and Redundant Power, not to mention very fast hardware.
