Server Network Hardware
Discover what networking hardware a dedicated server features and in what ways it can impact your website’s performance.
In case you host your internet sites on a dedicated server, you would expect that they'll perform lightning fast and that the access speed to them shall depend only on the Internet connection of the site visitors. Having said that, this will not be the case if the server has poor network connectivity or employs a network card, which just can't cope with high volume of traffic. If this is the case, it shall take a while for your sites to load if a lot of people open them concurrently or visitors might even see error messages. As a result you could lose customers as in all probability many people will not return to your site in case they have experienced issues or slow loading speeds. That's why you should pay attention to the network components of any new server that you get and not only to the main hardware which includes CPU, RAM or hard disk drive.
Server Network Hardware in Dedicated Servers Hosting
The dedicated servers hosting packages we provide feature gigabit network cards which are tested along with all the other hardware components before and after any new server is put together as to make sure that we won't employ a faulty part that might cause an issue sooner or later. We also employ the most current hardware for our internal network within the Chicago data center where we offer the dedicated plans. That includes routers, switches and hardware firewalls that can cope with huge inbound and outbound traffic to any machine, whilst any traffic that isn't legitimate shall be blocked and will not consume your system resources. The constant access to the facility is guaranteed by using redundant backbone Internet suppliers. By doing this we ensure the fast and secure connection to all our servers, which means your internet sites and applications will be up and running at top speed all of the time.
