Overview of Products and Services
Geckotools provides different hosting services. Our main focus is to provide managed servers with a complete tech stack to allow developers to host their software on the stack of their choice without having to spend unnecessary time and money to manage the servers, tools and frameworks needed to keep your software safe, secure and running efficiently.
Today there are several options to host your software products:
- Use cloud based instances where you have no idea of the cost until after the fact and you still have to manage security and updates yourself, or you can use a traditional VPS
- Use a traditional VPS with a fixed monthly cost, but manage the whole tech stack and security yourself
- Use a Managed VPS provider to handle everything for you, but be prepared to pay the top price.
Or use the Managed Application Server Service of Geckotools. This gives you:
- Fully managed application server stack
- Complete monitoring and maintenance of your servers including security updates.
- Significantly lower costs than traditional managed servers or cloud based servers.
So how can we do this?
We only support a limited set of web application server tech stacks. This allows us to define a standard template that we can roll out and maintain using the current technologies available. So, the more servers we have running with the same template, the more cost effective it becomes for us to manage and maintain the stack and keep it updated and secure.
Products
Managed VPS
A managed VPS is a standard VPS consisting of 3 main features:
- Server Specification (Memory, CPUs, Disk size etc)
- Server Template (Software stack)
- SLA (What we do to keep everything up and running)
Web Hosting
Our web hosting packages are based on the popular CPanel software for managing and maintaining you websites. If you want to become a reseller, it may be financially more advantageous to order a VPS with a CPanel server template. This way you pay a fixed fee and can resell as many CPanel accounts as you want as long as you stay withing the specifications of the server.
There are 3 flavours of Web Hosting packages as described on the Geckotools Web site: TODO
- WH-BASIC
- WH-STANDARD
