| What
sort of machine will my site be hosted on? |
 |
Your site will
operate from a top-end Pentium running Linux. Linux is an
extremely stable operating system which has gained an
excellent reputation as a result of its reliability and high
performance. Our servers have plenty of RAM and fast
processors. You can rest assured that we will
always upgrade our equipment as necessary to keep your site
running quickly and reliably. |
|
I need
speed. Will my site be served up fast? |
|
It sure will! Our total connectivity to the Internet is
over 600 Mbps! That is very fast! Our network is fully
switched using only top quality components from Cisco
Systems. All servers are fed from a multi-homed
backbone.
Our network fully supports BGP4 which provides great
redundancy and helps your data avoid internet trouble
spots. Our facility has full backup power including a
backup generator in case of extended power outages.
The centre is monitored 24 hours a day by a comprehensive
security system supplemented by video surveillance
equipment.

What
backup facilities does your hosting centre have? |
|
Our facility has full backup power including a backup
generator in case of extended power outages. The centre
is monitored 24 hours a day by a comprehensive security
system supplemented by video surveillance equipment. All
servers are fed with conditioned UPS (Uninterruptable Power
Supply) power that will run if utility power fails. The UPS
power subsystem is N+1 redundant with instantaneous failover
in case the primary UPS fails. In the event of an extended
power outage, an on-site diesel generator can run
indefinitely. The generator is regularly tested to ensure
that it will continue to function in the event of an
emergency.

uptime. |
