d-squared FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about Diginode Networks' d-squared advanced dedicated servers.
You may also want to take a look at our Diginode FAQ for general information or our Server FAQ for questions common to all our server plans.
- How does it work? Why does no-one else offer a similar product?
We had to develop a new server management system in order to enable features such as instant OS reinstall and reboot. This technology is layered on top of a lower level commercial off-the-shelf virtualization software that is the same as the software use for Cellz VM servers, only in this case we dedicate a single physical host system to a client. You get all the advantages and features of our Cellz Servers, with the power of a dedicated server for heavy workloads. - What about upgrades?
Due to the fact that you are running a dedicated server, extra HD and Memory cannot be upgraded in the same manner as a Cellz server. However, you may move another d2 or Cellz plan and we will take care of the server move for you. Your server will be down for only a few minutes once we have the necessary software setup. - Why is the server is missing some memeory and disk space?
Our management layer on the machine uses ~5GB. This space is usually reserved for caching the OS image and for other uses. It also using ~32MB of memory while running.
