FreeBSD Dedicated Servers
Overview
FreeBSD is an operating system often described as Unix-like and often confused with Linux. This server OS is recognized as a descendant of AT&T's own variety of Unix through their Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). This, in turn originated from what was then known as the 386BSD and 4.4BSD operating systems. Designed for Intel's x86 architecture, it tends to be compatible with most Intel-based dedicated and colocation servers.
Server and Colocation Reputation
In server applications, FreeBSD has a reputation for being extremely stable and reliable. Much like stable releases of Linux, FreeBSD servers have a strong reputation for upwards to entire years of uptime without ever needing to be restarted. FreeBSD and BSD variants can in fact often be found in various varieties of switches, routers, and other common network appliances.
BSD Variants
FreeBSD has a variety of variations with added features (which we also allow in our dedicated server and colocation services). These include NetBSD, OpenBSD, and TrustedBSD, each of which having their own unique set of server functionality against FreeBSD.
