📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

NETdepot is a long-established U.S. infrastructure and cloud hosting company whose history goes back to 1994. Its current direction is considerably broader than traditional web hosting, concentrating on cloud servers, dedicated infrastructure, private cloud, GPU computing, storage, disaster recovery, cybersecurity and managed IT services. The company has decades of experience with server infrastructure and expanded its hosting customer base in 2016 through the acquisition of JaguarPC.

The current portfolio is best suited to developers, companies, SaaS operators and organizations that need infrastructure rather than simple shared hosting. There is no conventional entry-level shared-hosting catalog at the center of the business today. Instead, Cloud VPS, Bare Metal, Cloud GPU, private virtualization and managed infrastructure form the main hosting options.

Cloud VPS is the natural entry point for customers who need an isolated virtual server with administrator-level control. VPS instances can be used for websites, applications, development environments, databases, VPN services and other workloads that require more flexibility than shared hosting. Resources can be selected according to CPU, memory and storage requirements, while customers retain much more control over the operating environment.

Bare Metal provides dedicated physical servers for workloads where single-tenant hardware, predictable performance or greater resource isolation is important. These systems fit high-traffic applications, database servers, virtualization, storage-heavy applications and other workloads where sharing the underlying server with unrelated VPS users is undesirable.

NETdepot has also moved further into accelerated computing through Cloud GPU infrastructure. GPU systems are aimed at AI, machine learning, inference, rendering, data processing and other GPU-intensive applications. This makes the company more relevant to modern compute-intensive projects than a conventional dedicated-server provider whose portfolio is limited to CPU-based hardware.

Another important part of the current portfolio is its VMware alternative built around VergeOS. The solution combines virtualization, networking and storage within a private-cloud environment and is particularly relevant to organizations reconsidering their VMware deployments. It can be used to consolidate virtual machines and supporting infrastructure while retaining private-cloud control.

For larger environments, Virtual Private Datacenter and private-cloud services provide an intermediate step between individual VPS instances and fully customized enterprise infrastructure. These services are suitable for customers that require multiple virtual machines, segmented networks, storage resources and centralized infrastructure management.

Storage is another significant part of the business. S3 Compatible Storage provides object storage compatible with the ecosystem created around Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 APIs, making it useful for application data, backups, archives and workloads that already use S3-compatible software. High Performance NVMe Storage addresses applications where latency and I/O performance are more important than inexpensive bulk capacity.

NETdepot also covers business continuity through Backup as a Service, disaster recovery services and Microsoft 365 backup. Microsoft 365 protection uses Veeam (veeam.com) technology and is intended to create an independent backup layer for cloud-hosted business data rather than relying solely on retention inside Microsoft 365.

Managed infrastructure remains an important option for organizations without their own 24-hour system administration staff. Managed services can reduce the operational work involved in maintaining servers, operating systems, backups, monitoring and infrastructure. NETdepot therefore works both as an infrastructure supplier for experienced administrators and as a managed technology partner for companies that prefer to outsource more of the day-to-day operations.

Cybersecurity is incorporated through the NDSecure side of the service portfolio, including security-related professional services and penetration-testing capabilities. This is useful for businesses that prefer to combine hosting, infrastructure management, backup and security requirements with the same provider rather than coordinating several unrelated suppliers.

Colocation continues to complement the cloud and server portfolio. It is most relevant to organizations that already own hardware but need professional power, connectivity and datacenter infrastructure.

Overall, NETdepot now fits the infrastructure-as-a-service and managed-cloud market much better than the classic shared web-hosting category. Customers looking specifically for a cheap shared hosting account and a bundled website control panel have simpler alternatives elsewhere, while customers needing VPS, dedicated hardware, private cloud, GPU computing, storage, backup and managed infrastructure have a considerably wider selection here.
