The Power of Dedicated Servers. The Scalability of Cloud Hosting. The Result – One Secure Server.

FireHost Secure ServersFireHost believes every business is entitled to protection from malicious hacker schemes. This mantra resonates in every decision we make and drives the daily activities for each and every agent of our organization.

We constantly strive to make enterprise-grade hosting features available for companies of all sizes, and VMWare’s vShield™ capabilities (introduced last summer) have helped fulfill our mission. vShield™ marks a significant advance in virtualization technology by providing a “shared [multi-tenant] computing resource pool, while still maintaining trust and network segmentation of users and sensitive data.”

We quickly realized adding vShield™ to our secure hosting infrastructure would make it possible to package the power and privacy of dedicated servers with cloud-like scalability, and our technology staff has worked tirelessly since the announcement to devise the right solution.

The result of their hard work is an affordable, compliance-ready Secure Server with all the tools necessary to protect your customers’ personally identifiable information (PII) and payment card information from hackers without hiring your own internal IT security staff.

Our new offering combines the best features of Dedicated and Cloud hosting into one, affordable Secure Server. This service is new to the hosting marketplace and unique to FireHost, so we’ve made it easy to compare how our Secure Servers stack up against popular options. “When security and affordability are key factors in your consideration set, we make it an easy decision,” said Chris Drake, CEO and founder.
