Hosting: Configuration Ideas

Affordability attracts customers, but the key to our success is our focus on great customer service. This may seem like an obvious concept, but actually being committed to it is a different story. We are dedicated to responding quickly to customers, needs on a consistent basis, solving and supporting complicated requests, and going the extra mile to help them even when an issue may not be our responsibility. Offering flexibility and customized services to meet customer’s specific needs, and having a “whatever it takes” attitude is what we do every day to keep our customers ecstatic. We call this CentricSupport™!

Our configurations are built to your specification and supported 24 x 7 by the most experienced team in the industry.

Highlights of our server equipement:

  1. All rack mounted servers (no towers sitting on shelves)
  2. All server grade equipment (no PC grade parts)
  3. Minimum hard drive configuration is RAID 1 (no single disc failure will bring down your site)
  4. All RAID controllers are hardware (not software which can fail if the drive fails)
  5. All hard drives are hot swappable, so a failed drive can be removed and replaced wothout turning the server off
  6. A minimum of 4 hard drive slot so there is move for expansion without replacing the server
  7. All servers are dual NICs, so you can have a direct coonection to redundant network all the way to your server
  8. All NICs and switching is full GigE, so you have blazing speeds
