Server Network Hardware
Learn exactly what networking hardware a dedicated server offers and in what way it can affect your website’s overall performance.
In the event that you host your internet sites on a dedicated hosting machine, you would expect that they shall perform ultra fast and that the access speed to them will depend entirely on the Internet connection of the site visitors. Having said that, this will not be the case in the event that the hosting server has bad network connectivity or employs a network card, which simply can't cope with high volume of site traffic. If this is the case, it'll take a while for your websites to load if many people open them simultaneously or visitors may see error messages. Because of this you could lose visitors as in all probability many people will not revisit your website in case they have experienced difficulties or slow loading speeds. That is why you ought to pay attention to the network components of any new hosting machine that you buy and not only to the main hardware such as Central processing unit, RAM or hard disk.
Server Network Hardware in Dedicated Hosting
The Linux dedicated hosting services we provide incorporate gigabit network cards which are tested along with all the other hardware parts before and after any new machine is built in order to ensure that we won't use a faulty part that could cause an issue at some point. We also employ the most up-to-date hardware for our internal network in the Chicago data center where we offer the dedicated plans. That includes routers, switches and hardware firewalls that can deal with enormous inbound and outbound traffic to any server, whilst any traffic that's not legitimate shall be blocked and will not use up your system resources. The continuous access to the center is ensured by using redundant backbone Internet providers. In this way we ensure the fast and stable connection to all our servers, which means your websites and apps shall be functioning at top speed all the time.
