A unique VPS provider

Our efforts and focus are always directed to our clients and their managed infrastructure needs

WHAT ARE WE ALL ABOUT?

Arcustech was launched in October 2013, branching off of a company whose history started in 1998 (Gippy's Internet Solutions / EngineHosting). It is this history and original vision that we are continuing.

We have always believed that "managed servers" should be the primary focus rather than being an afterthought and we are keeping that tradition strong in Arcustech. Neither self-managed servers nor shared hosting are offered. Instead, we are here to work with you as your server administrators, assisting with scaling, optimization, and recommending solutions for each of your projects.

NEW START

Arcustech is made public after months of sharing and testing with web development shops and clients using our “cousin company” EngineHosting, which was launched in 2002 (and closed fully in 2019). Arcustech has a fresh new focus on only fully-managed, high performance SSD VPS solutions with strong support and technical teams!

BETTER COMMUNICATIONS

An off-network Status Page powered by Statuspage.io is added. This new status page gets scheduled and unscheduled event details out to our customers faster and without fail. Customers can now subscribe to get updates via email, sms, twitter, or RSS feed, in any combination. Updates are also automatically posted to our Twitter feed @ArcustechUSA.

CLOUDFLARE PARTNERSHIP

We became an Optimized Hosting Parter with CloudFlare.com. This brings the benefits of CloudFlare's global and expanding CDN, DDoS, Application Firewall, and other services to all of our clients with the added bonus of the CloudFlare Railgun systems. This allows non-cachable, dynamic HTML sites to benefit from greater speed across CloudFlare's CDN coverage without having to be a $200+/month CloudFlare Business account holder.

DATA CENTER EXPANSION IN VIRGINIA

We expanded our servers and infrastructure in Virginia to support our complex VPS deployment clients. Up to this point, we only offered custom, advanced deployments to our Minneapolis, MN and Fremont, CA data centers.

March 2015

ADVANCED FILE BACKUPS

We have, from the start, provided our clients free full system snapshots. This allowed the server to be restored to one of 4 rolling weekly backups. While many clients have their own file and database level backup solutions, we also had many asking us to offer an advanced, off-site file-level backup solution. And so, a fee-based Advanced Backup solution available to all of our clients came to be.

October 2015

GLOBAL DNS CACHE AND DDoS PROTECTION

Continuing our work with Cloudflare, we are proud to annouce that we are both protecting and speeding up our Managed DNS servers with CloudFlare’s advanced Virtual DNS solution. This puts Cloudflare's vast, global newtork of servers in front of our DNS servers, providing global DNS speed up and advanced DNS DDoS protection features.

January 2016

EXPANDED BACKUPS AND PRICING CHANGES

We started the year off by expanding both our VPS product lines and advanced backup solutions. At the same time. we lowered the price on many of our products. Great way to start off the new year!

COMING CHANGES

Based on customer surveys we ran in March 2016, our future direction was clear. Clients voiced their desire for Arcustech to expand outside of the US and requested additional larger and smaller VPS offerings. The 2nd half of 2016 was a push for our teams to come up with a future platform that could easily extend into other US and international markets.

Sept 2019

EXPANDED GREEN INITIATIVES

While we as a company have always been mindful of our impact to the environment, from technology we use, to how we handle retired equipment, and having more remote workers than in-person, we have now expanded our Green Hosting goals! With almost 100% remote workers, working with certified green e-recycling companies, and purchasing at least 2 times more renewable energy certificates (RECs) than the power we use across our data centers, and the power our employees use, we are still striving to do more.
