Pulse · on watch since 2015
Pulse watches our servers, day and night.
Watching hundreds of services with someone else’s monitoring cost too much, so in 2015 we wrote our own. The first version checked that our servers were online, and told us when they weren’t. Today Pulse also tracks the bandwidth our data centre uses, its temperature and humidity, the addresses attacking our servers, our weekly SEO reports and the PHP errors in our CMS. (Some of us call it Heartbeat.)
Checking silverservers.com from your browser… The one live reading here; the rest is a drawing of what Pulse watches.
Dedicated hosting, explained
Dedicated means it’s yours.
Every website lives on a server: a computer that’s always on, sending your pages to whoever visits. What matters is whether that server’s memory and processing power are shared with other websites, or set aside for yours.
Shared hosting
One pool for everyone.
Many websites sit on the same server and draw from the same memory and processing power. When one of them gets busy, the rest slow down. Most low-cost hosting works this way.
Dedicated hosting · every plan here
Your site gets its own.
Your website gets its own memory, storage and processing power, set aside for it alone. Other clients’ sites can’t use them, so their busy days don’t eat into yours.
Every plan here is dedicated. Standard and Plus give your site its own private server (a VM) on our hardware; Advanced Dedicated gives it the whole machine. See the plans
What every plan runs
Where your site lives.
Every plan runs on all of it, from your server out to the building it sits in.
-
01
Its own server.
A private Linux VM with its own RAM, storage and CPU, or on Advanced Dedicated, the whole physical server.
-
02
Locked with SSL.
Free certificates, renewed automatically. HTTPS is on from day one, on every plan, never an upsell.
-
03
A tuned web server and database.
Apache or nginx, PHP and MySQL, configured and patched for you, with FTP and database access on every plan.
-
04
Patched on schedule.
Kernel and package updates on a set cadence. When a vulnerability lands, we handle it; it doesn’t wait behind a ticket.
-
Bargain hosts stop here.
At the box. Everything after this line is in every one of our plans too.
-
05
Backed up, here and offsite.
Automated, scheduled backups, kept locally and replicated offsite, restorable to a point in time.
-
06
Watched by Pulse.
Our own monitoring, running since 2015: uptime, SSL expiry, errors and attack attempts. When something trips, it reaches the people steps from the racks.
-
07
In our Kamloops data centre.
Tier II+, 10,000 sq ft and 1 MW of power, with UPS and diesel generator failover and dual 100G fibre. Our team works in the same building.
Switching hosts
We do the moving.
-
01
Tell us what you run.
The site, where it lives now, and what it needs. Not sure which plan fits? We’ll help you choose.
-
02
We set up your server.
We create it, allocate its resources, and set up and send your logins. That’s the $50 one-time setup.
-
03
We move your site.
We bring the files and database over from your old host, billed for our time. It goes quickly when you can send everything in order.
-
04
Pulse watches it.
From day one, Pulse, our own monitoring since 2015, watches your site day and night.
Straight answers
Questions people ask us.
What does the $50 setup cover?
Setting up your server: we create it, allocate its resources, and set up and send your logins. It’s charged once, on every plan.
Can you move my site from my current host?
Yes. We bring your files and database over for you and bill for our time. It goes quickly when you can send everything in an organized way.
Is my server shared with other sites?
No: every plan is dedicated. Standard and Plus give your site its own private server (a VM) with its own memory, storage and processing power; Advanced Dedicated gives it the whole physical machine. What dedicated means.
How much RAM, storage and CPU do I get?
As much as your site needs: we size each server to what runs on it. Tell us about yours and we’ll match the plan.
Can I move up later?
Yes. When your site needs more, we reallocate resources to it, so there’s no migration and nothing for you to move.
Do you host WordPress?
Yes, and custom PHP, static builds and Node apps: whatever your site runs on.
What if my site goes down at 2am?
Pulse, our own monitoring since 2015, watches it day and night and alerts us, and the people who fix it work steps from the racks.
Do you only host Kamloops businesses?
No. The servers are in Kamloops; our clients are across the Interior, the rest of BC and beyond.
Can you host my email too?
Yes. Email on your own domain is its own service: see Email hosting.
Bring your site. We’ll run the server.
Tell us what you run and where it lives now. We’ll come back with the plan that fits, how we’d move it, and the monthly price.
