Service Level: Pro-active Support

On top of the existing "Fully Managed" service level, SolidHost is now also offering pro-active support. This service level includes all features of our full management, combined with advanced monitoring and pro-active support.
 

• Advanced Monitoring
  SolidHost utilizes state-of-the-art monitoring systems to keep track of all aspects of our network and servers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In case of any anomaly, our on-site engineers are notified about the problem immediately, so they can take corrective action.

  If you choose for our Pro-active Support Serice Level, your server or VPS will not only be monitored for uptime, but also the following sensors will be installed:
  

  • Server load / CPU utilizatios
  • Number of processes
  • Bandwidth usage
  • Memory and Swap usage
  • Number of TCP connections
  • Number of MySQL queries
  • Harddisk usage
  • Mail Queue
  • Status of all system services

Whenever any of the above sensors exceed a certain treshold, or when any of the system services are unavailable, our on-site engineers are notified immediately. Unlike most of our competitors, we don't just take action when your server or VPS has become unreachable, but also when any sign of a (potential) problem has been detected.
 

• Pro-active Support
  Pro-active is the opposite of re-active. By default, all our servers and VPS's come with full-management, which is re-active. This means you would have to open a support ticket, and then one of our engineers will assist you. With pro-active support it works the other way around: when our monitoring system detects any anomaly on your VPS or server, our engineers will investigate the (possible) problem immediately and notify you. This means you won't have to worry about a thing.
  
  Please do note that if you have a dedicated server, we would need to have the root (or administrator) password on-file. Needless to say we will always report to you whenever we login to your server, even when no action needs to be taken on the server.
