Server Network Hardware
Understand just what networking hardware a dedicated server offers and how it might have an effect on your website’s performance.
In case you host your sites on a dedicated hosting machine, you would expect that they'll perform extremely fast and that the access speed to them shall depend only on the Internet connection of the site visitors. Nevertheless, this is not going to be the case if the hosting machine has poor network connectivity or uses a network card, which simply can't cope with high volume of traffic. If this is the situation, it will take a long time for your internet sites to load if many people open them simultaneously or visitors might even see error messages. Because of this you might lose customers as in all probability many people will never return to your website in case they have experienced issues or slow loading speeds. That's why you ought to pay attention to the network components of any new hosting server which you purchase and not only to the main hardware which includes CPU, Ram memory or hard drive.
Server Network Hardware in Dedicated Servers
The Linux dedicated servers that we offer you feature gigabit network cards that are tested along with all the other hardware parts before and after any new machine is put together in order to make certain that we will not use a faulty part which can cause an issue eventually. We also take advantage of the most up-to-date hardware for our internal network inside the Chicago data center where we offer the dedicated plans. This includes routers, switches and hardware firewalls which can handle massive incoming and outbound traffic to any server, whilst any traffic that is not legitimate will be filtered and shall not consume your system resources. The continuous access to the center is made sure by using redundant backbone Internet providers. This way 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 the time.
