Web Server Specs
We're committed to continually improving our services by developing and acquiring tools and technologies that help our customers access, maintain, and interact with their Servers with power and ease.
Server Hardware
Our physical servers are Intel Pentium II 400MHz computers with up to 256
MB of SDRAM and 9GB Ultra Wide SCSI hard drives.
They are connected with a 10/100 ethernet connection and mounted in lock-down
dual-fan racks.
Operating System
All new Unix
Servers are built up on an internally modified version of BSDI
UNIX 4.01. We have modified the operating system and many core components
to support a fully virtual environment.Our current Unix VServer server software
is based on an internally modified version of the Apache Web Server 1.3.1.
This system includes SSL 1.1.5 and PHP 4.0 (ZEND).
Advantages of Unix
Proven track record of performance and reliability Advanced Server Administration
Virtual Hosting Unlimited FTP Users Full Telnet Access Access to Server Configuration
Ability to add Virtual IRC mSQL2 databases
Our NT
VServers run on Microsoft NT 4.0. Server Software. We also run
fully virtualized versions of SMTP, IMAP, POP3, and FTP Services.Our NT Servers
use Microsoft's Internet Information Server 4.0 for the Web server, in combination
with a Unix-based Mail server.
Advantages of NT

Reliability and Infrastructure
If it weren't important, you wouldn't have put it on your Web site. And it
doesn't matter how important your Web site is, if nobody can connect to it,
it's useless. That's why using our Server is such a smart choice. We make
sure your Web site is up and running, all day, every day. But it's not just
reliable, it's blazing fast. We deliver the fastest, most reliable virtual
servers available anywhere. How do we do it? Check out some of our strategies:
Redundant Internet Connections. Our Servers' systems are connected to the
Internet via fully redundant, multiple T3 connections. We're hooked up to
a T3 through UUNET and another T3 through Sprint. Some of our competitors
claim that they're connected to the Internet through multiple T3s as well,
but look closely. Chances are, their so-called multiple T3s are sold to them
by the same provider, so if one of their routers goes down, their entire connection
goes down. But not here! If one of our T3s goes down, the other one can reroute
the traffic in seconds while we work on getting the connection back up. All
without the slightest interruption in performance.
Redundant Routers ..We route traffic from our server systems to our
redundant T3 connections through, you guessed it, redundant routers. We use
two Cisco Series 7513 routers (people who know routers are drooling right
about now), with a host of other Cisco routers, hubs, and switches taking
traffic from your servers to the Internet. In plain English, that means your
data is in good hands. Because if a router goes down or if a hub goes down
your Server will stay online.
Backup System: Our backup system has the capability of holding up to
3 terabytes of online storage which will keep about a week's worth of changed
data for all of our customers. Nightly backups are done for all server customers
as possible. If you have need to restore any data, please send mail to
[email protected] with the following
information: The name of the file(s) including the full path to the file The
exact date of the file you want restored The domain name and user name of
your server. These backups are provided as an added service to our users.
However, please be prudent in making local backups of the contents of your
Web server as we will not guarantee this service. While this is a very nice
feature, you never want to put the ultimate destiny of your Server in anyone
else's hands (even ours). Doing so will ensure that you are in control of
your own destiny by making sure that you have the capability to restore any
files on your own, without depending on anyone else. The Boy Scout's motto
applies to Web site management as well - 'Be Prepared!'
