In case you host your sites on a dedicated server, you would expect that they will perform lightning fast and that the access speed to them shall depend exclusively on the Internet connection of the visitors. However, this is not going to be the case in case the server has lousy network connectivity or relies on a network card, which simply just can't cope with high volume of traffic. If this is the situation, it will take a while for your sites to load if a lot of people open them at the same time or visitors may see error messages. Consequently you could lose customers as in all probability many people will not revisit your site if they have experienced issues or slow loading speeds. This is the reason why you ought to pay attention to the network components of any new server you acquire and not just to the main hardware such as Central processing unit, Ram memory or hard drive.

Server Network Hardware in Dedicated Servers

The dedicated web hosting plans that we provide include gigabit network cards that are tested along with all the other hardware parts before and after any new hosting server is put together in order to ensure that we will not employ a faulty part that can cause a problem after some time. 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 could easily deal with massive inbound and outgoing traffic to any machine, while any traffic that's not legitimate shall be filtered and won't use up your system resources. The continuous access to the facility is guaranteed by using redundant backbone Internet suppliers. In this way we ensure the fast and secure connection to all our servers, which means that your websites and applications will be up and running at top speed all the time.
