In case you host your sites on a dedicated hosting server, you would expect that they shall perform ultra fast and that the access speed to them shall depend only on the Internet connection of the site visitors. However, this won't be the case in the event that the hosting machine has poor network connectivity or employs a network card, which simply can't handle high volume of website traffic. If this is the situation, it'll take quite a long time for your internet sites to load if many people open them at the same time or visitors could see error messages. Therefore you might lose visitors as most probably many people will never return to your internet site if they have experienced difficulties or slow loading speeds. This is why you must pay attention to the network components of any new server that you buy and not only to the main hardware such as Processor, RAM or hard disk.
Server Network Hardware in Dedicated Hosting
The Linux dedicated hosting which we offer you come with gigabit network cards which are tested alongside all the other hardware parts before and after any new hosting server is put together so as to ensure that we won't use a faulty part that could cause an issue sooner or later. We also use the newest hardware for our internal network inside the Chicago data center where we offer the dedicated plans. This includes routers, switches and hardware firewalls which could easily deal with massive inbound and outgoing traffic to any hosting machine, while any traffic which is not legitimate will be filtered and shall not take up your system resources. The constant access to the center is ensured by using redundant backbone Internet suppliers. That way we guarantee the fast and reliable connection to all of our servers, which means that your internet sites and applications shall be up and running at top speed all of the time.
