*📜 Plan description

BASIC is the entry dedicated server on AIT’s Dedicated Servers page. The plan tile shows a monthly price of 71.20 and notes “+ FREE Domain Registration/Transfer with Hosting Plan,” so a single domain is included when you take the hosting service. Hardware on the card lists an Intel Xeon E3-1230 (4 cores at 3.3 GHz), 16 GB RAM, a 1 TB HDD for local storage, and 1 dedicated IPv4 address. The setup fee line reads “Free,” which means the server is provisioned without an initial charge. Under the price you can choose a term from a dropdown; the screenshot shows “12 Month Prepay - 20% Discount,” indicating the displayed rate reflects a prepaid discount option for a 12-month term. Nothing else on the card imposes limits on hosted sites or workloads; as a bare-metal machine, you decide the OS and software stack during order, and you can use the included IP for production mappings or add more later if available. This footprint fits single-tenant sites, low to mid traffic web apps, and control panel learning environments where dedicated resources and predictable costs are more important than cutting-edge throughput. Because the storage is HDD-based rather than SSD, it suits sequential workloads and lighter databases; cache layers can offset I/O when needed.

Across the AIT dedicated lineup, the page consistently advertises a free setup fee, a free domain registration/transfer with the hosting plan, and a term selector that includes a “12 Month Prepay - 20% Discount” option. Each plan is presented as a true dedicated server (bare metal) with its own CPU, memory, local disk, and IPv4 allotment. The cards do not specify an operating system or control panel, which typically means you can choose Windows or Linux at order time and optionally add a panel. Support reach-outs are visible via phone and a toll-free number on the site. Pricing is shown per month; any prepaid discount is tied to the chosen term in the selector.

📄 Editorial Review

Advanced Internet Technologies (AIT) is a long-running, privately held provider (founded in 1995 by Clarence Briggs) that operates its own 93,000 sq ft data center and sells a broad IaaS stack aimed at SMBs, agencies, and organizations. They combine domain registrar capabilities with hosting and professional services (web design, digital marketing, SSL/security and support).
Product lineup:
  • Shared hosting (Linux & Windows): one-click apps (WordPress, Drupal, Joomla), developer stacks (PHP, Perl, Python, Node.js, MySQL/PostgreSQL), e-commerce apps (Magento, CubeCart), free backups, and a free domain with many plans. Entry Linux tiers don’t include SSL; higher tiers include 1-year SSL. Windows hosting advertises ASP.NET/Classic ASP, IIS 8.5/10, MS SQL, and .NET Core options.
  • VPS hosting: SSD-based on Intel Xeon E5 hardware (SuperMicro chassis, Samsung SSDs), full root/administrator access, fast provisioning, and no oversubscription positioning. Most tiers include a free domain (except the entry plan).
  • Dedicated servers: single/dual-CPU builds on enterprise hardware; customizable to requirements. Plans include 3 IPv4 addresses and 15 TB monthly bandwidth by default.
  • Colocation: delivered from AIT’s Fayetteville, NC facility with carrier-redundant connectivity and on-site staff.
  • Reseller: private-label program with sales/marketing help.
    Overall, AIT’s appeal is breadth (Linux/Windows, VPS, dedicated, colo), control (own DC), and long tenure. The stack is pragmatic rather than flashy, with cPanel on Linux and a conventional Windows/IIS environment.
