Dedicated Hosting

BNSHosting provides you with both the infrastructure AND the server hardware. This option is similar to co-location hosting, but with this option, you are spared from having to invest in a separate server.

In addition, we can stretch your budget further, by allowing you to ‘rent’ the software (Windows 2003, Microsoft SQL, Exchange, Sharepoint, CRM etc)…instead of buying the software outright. This is because Bitstop is only one of two Microsoft SPLA (Service Provider Licensing Agreement) holder.

Because the server is dedicated to you alone, you have better control over the applications that you install, and have an unlimited number of domains to install and support.

Co-located

Co-located Server

Clients typically choose to have their own servers hosted in our data center. This is ideal when you want to run high-volume web sites, custom applications or simply require a higher level of security and performance than a shared hosting solution can offer.

From simply maintaining your operating system to full management of all services, BNS Hosting offers proactive server management with reasonable rates.

Our rates for co-located server will depend on the wattage of the power supply. In general, the higher the power supply wattage, the higher the power consumption, and hence there will be a corresponding higher monthly co-location fee.

Open Source Email System Training held

ASTI (Advanced Science and Technology Institute) held an Open Source Email System Training last November 7, 2007 at the ASTI Bldg. inside the UP Campus, Diliman, Quezon City.

BNS Hosting sent Ms. Lyzias Morato to attend the said event. Lessons that were tackled were very useful in setting up an email server. Open Source applications were used like Postfix Mail Server, Dovecot IMAP server, Spamassasin and Amavis, which is not just an antivirus for the system but also works as a spam filter. The training focused on configuring the DNS server as this issue is very essential for an email server to run.

When we say open source applications, it can be freely downloaded from different repository sites. Some of the advantages of using this kind of system is that you can find online notes that can be very useful in your researches and it’s cost-efficient.

Many thanks to the instructors, Ms. Katrina Murga and Mr.Rene Mendoza of ASTI for sharing their knowledge. Also, few of the attendees were the guys from DFA-MIS department, Mr. Allen Fernandez and Mr. John Gasta and Sir Vergel of DOST.
