To ensure we provide the fastest, most reliable and more secure platform for your website we have a three-pronged to building our servers:
Highest Quality Hardware
All components that go into our servers are chosen for quality, reliability and best fit for web hosting. For example, we only use hardware RAID with RAID-10 configured on all of our web servers. RAID-10 uses multiple disk drives so it keeps on truckin' even if one (even two) disk drives fail. We use only high quality multi-core Xeon motherboards with fast RAM and quality network cards.
Highest Quality Software
All of our servers run the LiteSpeed web server in place of the more common Apache web server. LiteSpeed is faster, more fault-tolerant and DoS resistant than Apache.
We also use CloudLinux, a containerized system to isolate websites from each other and prevent a "runaway" website from impacting the entire server. CloudLinux allows us to guarantee you the resources we promise and prevent websites from slowing down or taking the web server offline.
Multi-layered Server Security
The World Wide Web is still the Wild Wild Web. There are more wanna-be hackers roaming around the Internet than you can shake a stick at. To keep your precious website safe, we use a multi-layered approach to server security. Starting with CloudFlare to filter out the bad-guys, we have a firewall and two additional filters to block miscreants before they get to your website. (All this without slowing down the legitimate traffic.)
