Platform

The Virtual Datacenter

Every ServerHive customer gets a complete Virtual Datacenter — servers, networking, databases, websites, files, email, and backups working together as one managed environment. Here is what is inside.

VX Virtual Datacenter

Virtual servers with nothing hidden

Dependable Windows and Linux servers, deployed fresh or moved in from the hardware you already own — with full visibility into every server’s health, performance, and protection, presented clearly rather than buried in dashboards.

Complete control when you want it: console access, snapshots, resizing, and export. And by design, your servers stay off the public Internet.

  • Start, stop, console, snapshots, resource changes
  • Live replication state shown next to backup status
  • Export in standard formats — your VM stays yours

Migration Center

A guided path off your old hardware

Our VX Migrator captures everything about your existing server, then walks you through a proven sequence — from validation and first boot to application testing and final cutover.

Potential complications like license dongles, domain controllers, and legacy systems are flagged before migration begins — never discovered after.

  • Works from VHD/VHDX images of physical or virtual servers
  • Manifest captures OS, CPU, disks, boot mode, detected applications
  • Cutover happens when you say so, not before

Private Networks

Your own encrypted network, per customer

Every ServerHive environment includes its own isolated, encrypted network. Your servers, workstations, and branch offices communicate privately, as if they shared one office — with zero public exposure.

Enrolling a device takes a single installer, not a VPN project — and you always know exactly what is connected, from headquarters to home offices.

  • Connected devices with online/offline status and access policies
  • Branded enrollment — the networking stays invisible
  • Business applications reach customer devices privately

Add services, not raw cloud resources

Grow your environment by choosing what the business needs — a server, a website, a database, more storage — and let ServerHive handle the provisioning underneath.

Need a database? Pick the engine and name it. It arrives configured, backed up, and ready for connections.

Web Hosting

Managed sites in isolated containers

Every site comes with SSL, backups, and traffic insight built in — plus full management access whenever your developer wants it.

Visitors reach your sites through enterprise-grade edge protection, keeping your infrastructure shielded from direct exposure.

  • SSL status and backups visible per site
  • Lightweight isolated containers per site
  • Cloudflare in front, private infrastructure behind

Databases

Pick an engine, get a database

Production-ready PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL, and MongoDB, serving applications hosted in ServerHive or at your own offices over the private network. Microsoft SQL Server is available on dedicated Windows servers when your software requires it.

Each instance shows exactly what matters — health, capacity, backups, and who can reach it. The plumbing stays our problem.

  • Private hostnames — reachable only over your network
  • Backups and storage shown per instance
  • SQL Server via dedicated Windows VM when needed

Files & Documents

Ordinary file access, on purpose

Company file storage that behaves like the network drive your team already knows, with built-in document editing when a browser is more convenient.

And because portability is the point, your files remain ordinary files — always retrievable through open standards, never trapped inside a proprietary platform.

  • SMB shares over the private network
  • OnlyOffice document editing built in
  • Quota and usage visible per share

Email

Business email without running a mail server

Professional email on your own domain, managed from the same portal as everything else — users, aliases, distribution lists, and migrations, all a few clicks away.

Deliverability is handled by an established global mail platform, so your messages arrive — and your weekends stay quiet.

  • Users, aliases, distribution lists, shared mailboxes
  • Quota management and password resets
  • Migration in from your current provider

Backups & Disaster Recovery

Protection you can verify at a glance

Protection is core infrastructure at ServerHive, not an upsell. Every workload is continuously replicated and snapshotted, locally and offsite, with restore points you can see for yourself.

Live replication and point-in-time backups guard against different kinds of failure — and your dashboard makes it clear you have both.

  • Live replication distinct from snapshot backups
  • Local and offsite restore points with retention
  • A clear answer to “is this workload fully protected?”

Domains & DNS

DNS health without the engineering console

Your domains, monitored and maintained. ServerHive verifies that the records behind your websites and email stay correct, and handles routine configuration for you.

You see a simple health view; your technicians can still reach the full detail whenever they need it.

  • Record health for web, email, and services
  • Routine Cloudflare configuration abstracted
  • Advanced detail available, never required
