*📜 Plan description

Entry hosted private cloud desktop or app node purposely isolated from the public Internet. Includes 1 vCPU core, 4 GB RAM, and 60 GB fault tolerant HDD storage with unmetered data transfer. Access is delivered through a dedicated VPN and firewall policy tailored to your environment. No public IPv4 is used by default to reduce the attack surface; workloads remain private while still benefiting from scalable VMware ESXi resources. Linux is the default OS. The plan is self managed; managed services can be added. The shown price is for a 12 month term billed monthly, with other contract terms selectable at order. Fits secure back office workloads, admin consoles, and low footprint remote desktops where privacy by design is required.

All Hosted Private Clouds are VMware ESXi based with VPN and firewall controls, unmetered data transfer, and a fault tolerant SAN. High Availability and a mirrored Failover Cloud can be added for near continuous operation. CPU, RAM, and storage scale vertically without migrations. Optional GUIs and commercial control panels are supported. The SLA defines 99.99 percent network uptime and support is 24x7 via tickets, phone, and live chat. Default OS is Linux; Windows is available when sized to OS minimums. Locations include selected US, EU, and APAC data centers. Services are self managed by default with optional semi managed tiers.

📄 Editorial Review

Host Color is an infrastructure-first provider with roots in 2000 that has evolved from classic shared hosting into edge-located, semi-managed IaaS. They focus on placing compute close to users—across 100+ data centers worldwide—so apps see very low latency (often 1–5 ms to local markets) and predictable network performance. Their portfolio spans Shared Hosting (self-managed or managed), VPS (SATA or SSD on OpenVZ/KVM), Virtual Dedicated Servers, Bare-Metal/Dedicated, Cloud (Public, Hosted Private, Hybrid, Office), Colocation, and domain registration.

Technically, they lean on VMware-based HA clouds with fault-tolerant SAN storage and high-capacity links (1–100 Gbps), plus an edge footprint that includes Tier-III facilities (e.g., Southfield, MI) and access to major ecosystems like Equinix. Their semi-managed stance is practical: engineers handle OS installs/reinstalls, hardening, network tuning, panel setup (cPanel/DirectAdmin/Plesk or open-source panels), and troubleshooting—while customers retain full control of stack and architecture.

This makes them a strong fit for teams that need location choice + customization more than one-size-fits-all hosting: SaaS and e-commerce needing fast regional response, media/streaming and real-time APIs, EU/US split deployments, DR/BCP scenarios, or agencies/MSPs consolidating varied client workloads. Compared with hyperscale clouds, they emphasize transparent monthly fees (no nickel-and-diming for IOPS/DNS queries/egress add-ons) and human support. Trade-offs are mostly about complexity (lots of SKUs and tuning options), a few non-"unlimited" shared features, and the presence of legacy virtualization (OpenVZ) alongside KVM/VMware—so buyers should confirm the exact stack, SLA scope, and management boundaries per project.
