Hosting

Green Hosting Environment

Our server is part of a network that promotes ecologically responsible, sustainable hosting. As a member of this network our server’s carbon footprint is offset by reforestation programs by 110% thus making a positive impact on the environment and not just a neutral one. Other benefits of our green hosting network include:

• Commitment to low-voltage hardware that has a more minimal environmental footprint.
• Ecologically responsible disposal of 100% of network hardware when it has reached the end of its life.
• Commitment to recycle 100% of recyclable components and to meet or exceed environmental standards for the disposal of all non-recyclable or hazardous components.

Performance Optimized Servers

We pride ourselves in our technology and prefer nothing but the best. Thus we have setup servers with:

• Energy efficient quad core Intel Clovertown processors, hardware RAID 10 and dual gigabit network interfaces.
• All content from our servers uses Gzip technology which allows content to be compressed and stored once on our server. When someone visits your website our server will send them a compressed version of the page. This will result in lower bandwidth use and faster loading pages.

Secure Server Access

We provide SFTP (secure file transfer protocol) access to all our hosting accounts. This ensures that any data you upload to your server is encrypted when it is being uploaded.

Nightly Backups

Every night we generate a full off-server backup of your website and databases. Rest easy knowing your data is safe with us.

24/7 Server Monitoring

Our server is automatically monitored 24/7 by a team of network professionals. If for any reason our server experiences issues they will automatically restart the server to ensure downtime is kept to a minimum. Additionally we are guaranteed 99.9% uptime, which means your website will rarely if ever have problems.

Open Source Technology Stack

Through years of experience we have learned to implicitly trust the reliability offered by Open Source software. As a result our hosting environments run on a Linux powered CentOS platform. This gives us exceptionally high server reliability our clients can count on.

We only use open-source programming technologies to power our sites. These include PHP, Python, Perl and MYSQL.
