Server Network Hardware
Learn what networking hardware a dedicated server possesses and in what ways it can have an impact on your website’s overall performance.
If you host your websites on a dedicated server, you would expect that they shall perform extremely fast and that the access speed to them will depend only on the Internet connection of the site visitors. Having said that, this will not be the case in case the hosting machine has bad network connectivity or relies on a network card, which simply just can't deal with high volume of site traffic. If this is the situation, it will take a long time for your websites to load if many people open them concurrently or visitors may see error messages. Consequently you could lose website visitors as most likely many people will never revisit your site if they have experienced issues or slow loading speeds. That's why you need to pay attention to the network components of any new hosting server you buy and not just to the main hardware like Central processing unit, Random access memory or hard drive.
Server Network Hardware in Dedicated Servers Hosting
The dedicated servers hosting packages which we offer incorporate gigabit network cards that are tested along with all the other hardware components before and after any new server is put together so as to ensure that we won't employ a faulty part that can cause a problem sooner or later. We also use the newest 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 deal with massive inbound and outbound traffic to any machine, whilst any traffic that is not legitimate will be blocked and won't take up your system resources. The uninterrupted access to the center is guaranteed by using redundant backbone Internet suppliers. By doing this we ensure the fast and secure connection to all our hosting machines, which means your internet sites and applications shall be working at top speed at all times.
