Server Network Hardware
Learn exactly what networking hardware a dedicated server possesses and ways in which it could have an effect on your website’s overall performance.
How quickly a website is going to open would depend not just on the Internet connection of the website visitor, but also on the online connectivity of the hosting machine where the site is hosted and on the network infrastructure - routers, server network card, etcetera. Slow connection or hardware which can't handle a high volume of inbound and outgoing traffic might have powerful impact on the user experience of your site visitors and the overall performance of your site as people will most likely see error messages that the site is not available or it will take some time for your content to load. In case this kind of a thing occurs, it's not likely that the visitors shall return to the site. For that reason you ought to always confirm the connectivity of any hosting server that you obtain and not just the main hardware components like hard drive, processor and physical memory.
Server Network Hardware in Dedicated Servers
The dedicated web hosting plans we offer you incorporate gigabit network cards which are tested along with all the other hardware parts before and after any new machine is built so as to make certain that we will not use a faulty part which might cause a problem after some time. We also use the most up-to-date hardware for our internal network inside the Chicago data center where we offer the dedicated plans. That includes routers, switches and hardware firewalls that can easily cope with enormous incoming and outgoing traffic to any hosting machine, while any traffic that isn't legitimate shall be blocked and shall not use up your system resources. The constant access to the center is guaranteed by using redundant backbone Internet suppliers. This way we guarantee the fast and stable connection to all our servers, which means that your sites and apps shall be functioning at top speed all the time.
