Why choose Brightbox?

Here’s just a few reasons why Brightbox makes good sense…

Ruby on Rails ready to go - out of the box

Your Brightbox comes preinstalled with our proven Ruby on Rails stack. Spend less time configuring your server, unless you really want to of course, which is cool :)

Super simple deployment

Install the Brightbox gem and you’ll have your Rails app up and running on the web in a matter of minutes.

Better than a dedicated server

Brightbox offers better value for money, better resilience, better scalability and less complexity than traditional dedicated server solutions.

You're in full control - with root access

Unlike some other services, you get full root access to your Brightbox server so you can install and tweak what you like.

Solid hardware and infrastructure

We’ve invested a lot of time and money into building our infrastructure so you don’t need to. Our host machines are Dell twin dual/quad core processors with 16GB RAM, with redundant power supplies, hard disks and much more.

Scalability and "Growability"

Scale upwards (e.g a bigger box with more RAM) or outwards (e.g. add more servers) quickly and easily without breaking the bank. Start off small and grow big.

Peace-of-mind

We monitor all aspects of our network and infrastructure 24-7 and respond immediately to any issues. We’ll also provide assistance with deployment to your Brightbox via our support helpdesk.

Experienced and friendly team

The Brightbox team are serious geeks, with a combined experience of 26 years in web development, hosting, networking and systems administration.
