Server Network Hardware
Understand precisely what networking hardware a dedicated server has and exactly how it might affect your website’s overall performance.
If you host your internet sites on a dedicated hosting server, you would expect that they shall perform lightning fast and that the access speed to them will depend entirely on the Internet connection of the visitors. Having said that, this will not be the case if the server has poor network connectivity or uses a network card, which simply just can't deal with high volume of traffic. If this is the case, it shall take a while for your internet sites to load if many people open them at the same time or visitors might even see error messages. Because of that you could lose website visitors as most likely many people won't revisit your internet 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 that you acquire and not only to the main hardware such as CPU, Random access memory or hard disk drive.
Server Network Hardware in Dedicated Servers
The Linux dedicated web hosting plans which we offer feature gigabit network cards that are tested along with all the other hardware parts before and after any new hosting server is assembled in order to make certain that we will not use a faulty part which might cause a problem at some point. We also take advantage of the latest 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 easily deal with huge inbound and outbound traffic to any hosting server, whilst any traffic that's not legitimate shall be filtered and shall not consume your system resources. The continuous access to the center is guaranteed by using redundant backbone Internet suppliers. This way we guarantee the fast and stable connection to all of our hosting servers, which means that your sites and apps shall be up and running at top speed all of the time.
