What to Include in Your Quote Request
Tell us the number of CPU cores, RAM, storage, operating system and expected traffic, plus any extras such as additional IPv4 addresses or a control panel.
Describe the workload too, such as a website, a booking system or a remote desktop. This helps our engineers suggest a configuration that fits your project.
Comparing the Bahamas With US Locations
For many projects, a server in the United States already gives good response times for visitors in Nassau and Freeport, and it is available today.
Choose a Bahamas server when a local address matters, for example for testing local services. You can start in the US and move once your quote is ready.
Securing a New Server
Update every package, create a user with sudo rights, use SSH keys and disable password logins before deploying your project.
Enable a firewall with only the ports you need and add brute-force protection. On Windows, use strong passwords and restrict RDP where possible.
Planning Backups
Keep off-site backups of files and databases with tools such as restic or borg, stored on another server or in object storage.
Test restores regularly so you know recovery works and how long it takes.
