Thousands of Internet professionals around the world, including many Internet Service/Access Providers and businesses (ISPs), have found iServer to be a much more powerful and cost effective solution than purchasing and maintaining their own servers, redundant lines and hiring the staff to keep it all running. When you consider the high cost of a dedicated solution and the fact that our Virtual Server solution offers all of the flexibility, control and power you demand - why bother with the headaches of doing it yourself? By employing iServer as your hosting partner, you can concentrate on what you do best (which probably is what you enjoy most).
The "do it yourself" approach:
Many small to medium sized businesses contemplate installing and
maintaining a dedicated Internet connection at their office believing
it is the only way to establish a powerful Internet presence.
Typically however, these business do not realize (at least
initially) how expensive a dedicated solution can be. The
following schematic and table presents this type of solution
and the corresponding costs.
| Setup | Cost |
| Internet Server | $5,000 |
| Router | $1,500 |
| CSU/DSU | $1,000 |
| T-1 Installation | $300-$1,000 per line |
| Monthly | Cost |
| Frame Relay | $200 |
| Common Carrier Charges | $1,000-$5,000 per line |
| Yearly | Cost |
| Network Engineer | $50,000+ |
| Software and Hardware Upgrades | thousands |
The ISP approach:
A less expensive alternative to a dedicated connection is to host or
"co-locate" your Internet presence with your Internet Service Provider.
Your ISP will likely have very aggressive hosting prices and may bundle
"homebrewed" hosting services with dial-up services at little to no extra
charge. As attractive as the price may appear, the "homebrewed" ISP hosting
solution lacks the performance, technology, and connectivity necessary to
establish a truly effective and powerful Internet presence.
In fact, many extremely talented and technically qualified ISPs have already recognized the benefits of the iServer Virtual Server System and have joined our Reseller Program. They bundle their products (dial-up service and web design) with our Virtual Server and then offer the package to their clients. Specific benefits which ISPs can gain by using the iServer Virtual Server System are listed below:
- Free up limited bandwidth -- This allows an Internet Service/Access Provider to concentrate its bandwidth on providing the best possible local dial-up access to its customers.
- Outsourcing the technical headache -- iServer provides an Internet Service/Access Provider the ability to eliminate the technical commitment necessary to provide quality hosting to its customers.
- Free up technical resources -- Outsourcing allows an Internet Service/Access Provider to concentrate its technical resources and staff on other purposes which will build the their company.
- Virtual subhosting potential -- one feature of the iServer Virtual Server is "virtual subhosting", or hosting multiple domain names on a single fully functional Virtual Server. In other words, multiple domain names, each with its own independent FTP login and e-mail capabilities, can be hosted on a single fully functional Virtual Server.
- Make hosting profitable -- An Internet Service/Access Provider will no longer need to lay down the capital necessary to provide hosting – servers, redundant Internet connections, technical maintenance, etc. – rather, the iServer Reseller Program will credit an Internet Service/Access Provider with discounts of up to 50% off monthly rates.
The iServer approach:
iServer's advanced Virtual Server solution gives you what you would
expect from a dedicated server, but at a shared server price. The
iServer Virtual Server gives you full control to remotely manage
your sites, without the high cost of maintaining your own server,
Internet connections, and the staff to keep it all running.

| Monthly | Cost |
| iServer Virtual Server | $55 to $245 discounts for Resellers |
| Yearly | Cost |
| iServer Network Staff | $0 |
