Will my server have a firewall?
Unless you have specifically requested a managed dedicated server with hardware firewall from with us then your server will have a raw, unprotected feed straight to our internet backbone.
Most Operating Systems now include some form of low level firewall protection and if this is the case then your server will have that added layer of protection compared to those who don't have any firewall in place.
If you do need a hardware firewall for PCI compliancy for example, then please contact us for a bespoke quotation.

Customer Feedback
Just a quick note to say that the support and the server have been second to none, with no downtime which has been a first!! Any problems that I had have been sorted quickly (all user errors on my part though!)
IanRacksrv are definitely geared towards the professional user. Setup is fast and efficient. I got exactly the server that I wanted, with the distro of my choice ready to go. The real test of a provider though is how they deal with problems, and after I crashed my server recently (I misconfigured the NIC - oops!) they ...
Ian - Richardson DigitalNeither Call of Duty 6 (Modern Warfare 2) nor Battlefield: Bad Company 2 support fully dedicated servers, so we no longer have any use for a dedicated box. I'd like to say though, your service has been truly excellent and I deeply regret that we cannot continue renting from you.
OliverRackSRV has been our UK server provider for as long as we can remember. They have always provided us with a stable server and professional support, even if we caused a problem on the server ourselves. RackSRV is all we look for in a trusted server provider. Thanks guys!
Gerben - Hyperized HostingRackSRV has provided an excellent service, and I will keep you guys in mind if I need another service in the future.
DanielWell what can I say... I have been a web designer for around 12 years and have used half a dozen different hosting companies with services from shared hosting to dedicated servers. I can honestly say the service from RACKSRV is the best by far. They asked a few security questions to make sure I was not a SPAMMER which ...
Alex - Ulric Web Design LTDNot bought a server with RackSRV yet? Well do it! Top quality support and very helpful too! In my time with RackSRV I have encountered next to no problems and have always been updated within the first 10 minutes of something going wrong or notified in advance.
