Elcyon has it's own server

Until now we had a webhosting package at a commercial webhoster to host our own email and website. This package also enabled us to host other domainnames than our own, and we used it with satisfaction for a long time. The development of our own webapplications based on python and a more advanced use of the Drupal content management system made us realise that the control of the webserver that is possible with a normal webhosting package is not large enough.

We therefore decided to hire a virtual dedicated server at Oxilion. The hardware and infrastructure will be supported by them, but we have complete control over all the software on the machine. Our previous experience with network and server administration at different companies provides us with the expertise to maintain this server in an efficiënt and secure way.

We will not use this server for commercial hosting packages, but we will use this server to (if desired) provide hosting for email and websites created by us using the drupal content management system for a competitive price and also provide hosting for more demading webapplications  for instance GIS webapplications.

Currently the server is under development. Of course we take security very serious and will use advanced security measures to prevent the spread of spam and virusses.
