Dedicated Systems for Small-Scale Web Hosting
We all plan on world domination, but hey, one step at a time right? Get one or two Robson managed hosting solutions now, and when your operation gets larger, take advantage of our skilled managed services team to help you expand, and watch your business grow. Start small, think big!
- Dedicated Web Server/Application System: Host your business on one of our n-Series dedicated servers and get the freedom to do what you want, when you want. We provide a wide range of systems from Dell, Sun, and HP with a variety of specifications.
- Secondary Dedicated System: Even small business systems may have resource-intensive applications, such as databases, that may better operate in their own dedicated environment. Having a second system can alleviate these troubles, and also help pave the way for future growth. If an n-Series dedicated system would be too much to start out with, our n-Class VPS solutions can provide you with a cost-effective alternative until you are ready to upgrade to a fully dedicated system.
- Robson Managed Hosting Infrastructure: Take advantage of having your systems located in one of our fully managed datacenters and make use of our many value added services, such as managed e-mail, website and system monitoring, 24x7 tech support, and much more.
Intermediate "SME Web Network"

Application Network for Small and Medium Enterprise
Busy websites or applications take something more than just a single server to run these days. Robson Communications can help you get your operation off the ground and provide you with a load balanced solution that will offer you high availability and processing power.
- Web Servers/Application Systems: Multiple low-end n-Series servers, such as the n-Series 200, allow you to balance the load of one or more of your websites across multiple systems, providing you with high availability, redundancy, and the freedom to scale your application to several nodes.
- Load Balancing: Distribute your network traffic across your multiple web servers with a network load balancing solution. Robson Communications has experience setting up and managing a number of hardware and software-based load balancing solutions and can suggest a solution that can best fit your needs.
- Back End Database System: Back-end your application systems with a higher end n-Series server, such as a 300, 400, or 500, allowing all of your front end servers access to the same data whenever it is needed.
- Robson Managed Hosting Infrastructure: Take advantage of having your systems located in one of our fully managed datacenters and make use of our many value added services, such as managed e-mail, website and system monitoring, 24x7 tech support, and much more.
Advanced “Enterprise Application System”

Enterprise Application Network
While no job may be too small, no job is too big either! Our staff has years of experience dealing with large managed hosting operations, and can design large scale managed hosting solutions tailored to suit your unique business needs.
- Dedicated Firewalls: Take peace of mind in the security that dedicated network hardware brings. Our team has experience with a wide range of networking solutions ranging from industry-leading brand name hardware appliances to reliable low-cost software firewall solutions running off a pair of our nSeries 200 servers.
- Load Balancers: Dedicated load balancing allows you to have your network customized to your needs and allows you to load balance traffic the way you, and only you, need it load balanced. If having a separate set of load balancers is not practical, Robson’s systems team can engineer a solution that combines your load balancing and firewall needs together, be it with higher-end, brand-name network hardware, or into a single set of nSeries 200 servers, offering you practical, cost-effective network security and load balancing.
- Application/Web Servers: Leverage our nSeries 200 or 300 servers and build yourself a farm of reliable, fault-tolerant servers that can serve both dynamic and static content.
- Redundant Master/Slave Database System: It is a well-known fact that many web applications require a much larger proportion of read traffic over write traffic. Take advantage of this by selecting a replicated database solution that replicates writes from a higher-end master server (such as a nSeries 500) to several lower-end slave servers (such as a nSeries 300 or 400).
- Attached Storage: Robson Communications can help you engineer a solution for NAS or SAN storage that will allow you to keep a central repository of large content, such as images, videos, or other media.
- Robson Managed Hosting Infrastructure: Take the burden off your technical staff of managing your system and network infrastructure and let Robson handle it for you. Your systems will be located in one of our fully managed datacenters, and will be monitored and supported 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You will also be able to take advantage of our other many value added services, such as managed email, and much more.
