📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

Domino Developer Network is a specialized hosting provider focused on HCL Domino and Notes applications rather than conventional mass-market website hosting. Founded in 1998, the company has served Domino developers, software teams, businesses and organizations that need a stable environment for custom Notes/Domino databases and web applications. Dan Frederiksen and Melissa Gena were associated with the business as co-founders during its early development.

The operating identity now has a close connection with dServ LLC. Service agreements and privacy terms retain references to Domino Developer Network, Inc., a California corporation, while sales, billing and technical communication use dserv.com addresses. Customers entering a long-term agreement should confirm the contracting company that will appear on the invoice and service contract.

The product range includes HCL Domino shared hosting, VMware-based VPS hosting and dedicated servers. This is not a conventional shared-hosting company offering cPanel accounts, WordPress packages, website builders or entry-level reseller plans. Its strongest appeal is the ability to host existing Domino applications without requiring the customer to build and maintain an entire server environment.

HCL Domino Shared Hosting operates through a clustered, multi-server platform. Production applications benefit from greater resilience than a basic single-server shared account, while an NGINX front end provides caching, compression, HTTP/2 connectivity and modern TLS termination. Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates are included and renewed automatically.

The Development plan includes 5 GB of development storage, unlimited Domino databases, one Notes ID, one custom domain and seven days of daily backup retention. It is intended for development and testing rather than live production databases.

The Production plan includes 25 GB of production storage and another 25 GB for development. It also provides three Notes IDs, unlimited custom domains, private web-user directories, mail-in databases and seven days of daily backups. Additional Notes IDs and private SSL service can be purchased separately.

Shared accounts use Domino V12. Organizations that must retain Domino V9, V10 or V11 can use a VPS or dedicated server, where the operating system and Domino installation can be configured for a specific application requirement.

The VPS platform runs on VMware vSphere 7 with NVMe storage, a 1 Gbps network connection and generous monthly traffic allocations. Operating-system choices include Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE, CentOS and Microsoft Windows Server 2016 or 2019. Windows licensing is calculated according to the number of virtual processors.

VPS specifications and prices vary between the accessible service tables. Entry prices range from $20 to $36 per month, with differences in memory, processor allocation, storage and upper-tier pricing. A written quotation is advisable before ordering so that the selected resources, monthly traffic, operating system and renewal price are clearly established.

The Dedicated Server range uses AMD Ryzen and EPYC processors, ECC memory and mirrored NVMe storage. Configurations begin with a six-core Ryzen 5 system with 64 GB RAM and extend to a 32-core AMD EPYC server with 128 GB RAM. Optional services include Windows Server licensing, additional IPv4 addresses, larger IP allocations and remote backup storage accessible through FTP, SFTP, SCP, Samba or CIFS.

The service remains best suited to established Domino applications and technical customers who already understand their software requirements. Some available operating-system and virtualization choices are from older generations, so server patching, supported software versions and upgrade arrangements should be agreed before deployment.

The website operates in English, with services priced in US dollars.
