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.

RackSRV now offer both managed & self managed shared web hosting!

Customer Feedback
Been with RackSrv 4 months so far and have only good reviews. Extremely fast tickets responses, regardless of the time of day, even for pre-sales tickets. Only one downtime but was planned with several weeks notice and only 15min. Accommodating and good prices.
William - Reactre LtdOur community needed a game server to host our community games and voip on and were recommended RackSRV by a fellow server admin. I am happy to say that the server performance, customer support and service are all exemplary and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend RackSRV on again!
