"Finding the right solution to solving you business needs."

Auburn SeeWolf provides a complete range of hosting services to meet your company's needs - but which solution is best?

Frankly, that depends on the answer to some fundamental questions. . .

1. Is your web presence going to be a basic business-card site?
2. Is your web presence a small e-commerce site?
3. Is your web presence going to interface with process intensive applications or e-business solutions?
4. Does your company run extensive applications that will require a lot of processing power?

If the answer to 1 or 2 is yes, then virtual hosting will be a good start for your company.  As your online catalog grows or you want to expend your online presence you can migrate to a collocation or dedicated server.

If the answer to 3 and 4 is yes and you have your own servers, then collocation may be the right choice. If you don't have your own servers, SeeWolf Online will provide a dedicated server or a complete managed solution to simplify your Internet needs.

What is a Dedicated Server?

A dedicated server (also called an outsourced server) is a server that is leased to a single customer. The server hardware, routing equipment, and network connectivity are monitored and maintained by the SeeWolf Online while the server software is maintained by the customer. This solution is appropriate when the customer has developed their own web applications, has the time to do their own site maintenance, and needs a dedicated computer for performance and/or security requirements. The customer has root access to their server and perform administrative tasks as they desire.

What is a Managed Server?

A Managed Server is a dedicated server that is leased to a single customer - but instead of the application software being maintained by the customer, SeeWolf Online maintains the server and the application. This is perfect for Microsoft Exchange Servers, IIS and Application Servers, Mobile Information Server, Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle databases, and any other components needed by the application. With complex, mission critical systems, it is usually less expensive to outsource the complete system than to maintain the staff and equipment needed to insure reliable operation.

What is a Collocation Server?

A Collocation Server is a machine that the customer provides and is housed at SeeWolf Online's secure facility. SeeWolf Online is responsible for maintaining the network connections and backup power system. The customer maintains the server hardware and operating systems, and applications. This is a perfect solution for those customer's who have already invested in the hardware - but need a stable and secure environment.

What is Virtual Hosting?

Virtual hosting, also known as shared hosting, is where your web presence is on the same physical platform as other customers. This type of hosting is perfect for companies just starting out - or who have business-card sites. As your online business grows and you need more processing power to maintain the user experience, customers tend to migrate to their own dedicated platform.
