📄 Editorial Review

EGI Hosting (EGI) is a long-running infrastructure provider out of Silicon Valley, active since 2003 and now operating as part of American Cloud LLC out of Santa Clara, California. The focus is very clearly on bare metal dedicated servers, colocation, and media streaming, rather than mass-market shared hosting. Everything revolves around giving customers direct access to hardware, high-capacity uplinks, and 24/7 on-site technicians in serious data centers, primarily in Santa Clara (OpenColo) and Miami (CoreSite).

The network is built around a multi-homed BGP design with upstreams that include NTT, GTT, Cogent and HE.net, plus multiple additional providers and more than eighty peering partners. Dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 is standard at the edge, and aggregate capacity sits above the 100 Gbps mark. Basic incoming DDoS mitigation is bundled with every colocation and dedicated server plan, with more advanced mitigation available as an add-on. The result is a platform tuned for low-latency routing and high availability, including more demanding paths into Asia and China.

On the server side, the core catalog centers on bare metal server plans. These are classic single-tenant machines built from enterprise-grade Intel Xeon hardware, from E3-1230 entry boxes up through dual E5 configurations and a dedicated GPU server with dual E5-2630v3 CPUs and dual NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti cards. Even the lower-cost systems include a 1 Gbps port, 20 TB of traffic (with 30 TB and 100 TB options or 1 Gbps unmetered on some SKUs), and the ability to upgrade disks and RAM. Each server comes with a /29 IPv4 block included, larger allocations are available with justification, and hardware maintenance or replacement stays on EGI’s side of the fence rather than becoming a surprise line item for the customer.

For customers who want the hardware but not the sysadmin headaches, EGI layers on Fully Managed Servers. These are still dedicated boxes, but with the operating system, patching, security updates, and software install/config work handled by EGI’s team. Plans range from an Intel E3-1240v2 with 16 GB RAM, up to dual E5 systems with 64 GB RAM and 10 TB of traffic, all on 1 Gbps ports. The idea is very "hands-off": the provider takes care of kernel and software updates, basic hardening, and troubleshooting of OS-level issues as part of the monthly fee, while the customer focuses on applications and business logic.

EGI’s managed colocation plans are aimed at organizations that own their hardware but still want someone else to power, cool, connect, and babysit it. In the OpenColo Santa Clara facility, customers can choose from 1U/1A shared colo, 20U shared space, or a full 45U cabinet. Each option combines rack space, a dedicated power allocation (from 1 Amp shared up to 3 kW A+B in a full cabinet), baseline bandwidth (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, depending on the package) and a dedicated 1 Gbps network port with the option to move up to 10 Gbps. IP space starts at 5 usable IPv4 addresses, with additional addresses and DDoS protection available. Facilities are enterprise-class, with SSAE 16 Type II certification, 24/7 staffed security, card and combo locks, custom video surveillance, redundant power, and a design that targets 100% power uptime and "five nines" network availability for colocation customers.

Beyond servers and colo, EGI still maintains a legacy line of stream hosting built around SHOUTcast and Windows Media streaming. These services are meant for online radio stations and media broadcasters that want bandwidth and stability more than a UI-heavy SaaS product. Plans run on the same dedicated server backbone and include a stream control panel to manage mount points, monitor listeners, and adjust basic parameters. Everything is sold on a month-to-month basis, with no long-term commitment, and sits behind the same multi-homed network as the dedicated server fleet.

Supporting all of this is a full datacenter services layer: a dedicated Datacenter Connectivity section explains the BGP design, dual-stack operation, and DDoS mitigation strategy, while a separate Remote Hands section formalizes what many providers leave vague. There is free basic remote hands for short tasks (reboots, quick checks) and billed Advanced Remote Hands for hardware swaps, cabling, and more invasive work. Remote hands are available not just at Santa Clara and CoreSite Miami, but also in a Zurich data center, giving EGI a physical footprint on both US coasts plus Europe.

Finally, EGI runs a well-defined reseller / partner program. Resellers are slotted into tiered "Star" levels based on active server counts, gaining progressively better discounts and perks: 24/7/365 support via live chat, phone and email, priority deployment, a User Management Control Panel, discounted Windows and managed services, free gigabit port upgrades (where available), bulk IP pricing, discounted DDoS protection and VPS plans, and even free VPS/storage and scheduled security scans at higher tiers. That makes the platform particularly attractive for other hosting companies or MSPs that want to build their own offerings on top of EGI’s infrastructure.
