Hardware configurationTo deliver outstanding performance and uptime, our servers are built with the most reliable server components. Each shared hosting server is equipped with powerful multi-core Xeon processors, up to 1 TB of RAM, and multi-terabyte SSD RAID 6 storage arrays. We use RAID 6 because it offers the best combination of performance and reliability. Performance is the same as RAID 5, and stored data is protected even if two drives in the array fail simultaneously. All storage drives, power supply units, and cooling fans are hot-swappable, allowing replacements on the fly. This mitigates the impact of possible hardware failures to the absolute minimum. Redundant power on the premises, multiple backup generators, and a redundant network of multiple fiber trunks from multiple sources ensure the highest levels of connectivity and reliability. |
