In case you host your internet sites on a dedicated server, you would expect that they'll perform very fast and that the access speed to them shall depend entirely on the Internet connection of the site visitors. Nevertheless, this won't be the case if the hosting server has poor network connectivity or relies on a network card, which simply just can't handle high volume of traffic. If this is the case, it'll take quite a long time for your sites to load if a lot of people open them simultaneously or visitors could see error messages. As a result you could lose visitors as in all probability many people will never return to your site in the event that they have experienced issues or slow loading speeds. That's why you should pay attention to the network components of any new hosting server which you purchase and not only to the main hardware such as CPU, Ram memory or hard disk.

Server Network Hardware in Dedicated Servers

The Linux dedicated web hosting plans we offer you feature gigabit network cards which are tested along with all the other hardware components before and after any new machine is assembled so as to ensure that we will never use a faulty part that could cause an issue sooner or later. We also employ the most current hardware for our internal network within the Chicago data center where we offer the dedicated plans. This includes routers, switches and hardware firewalls which can certainly handle substantial inbound and outgoing traffic to any server, while any traffic that's not legitimate shall be filtered and will not use up your system resources. The continuous access to the facility is made sure by using redundant backbone Internet suppliers. That way we guarantee the fast and stable connection to all of our servers, which means that your sites and applications will be up and running at top speed all of the time.
