Server Network Hardware
What exactly networking hardware items does a dedicated server come equipped with? How can they impact the actual operation of your websites?
If you host your sites on a dedicated hosting machine, you would expect that they shall perform very fast and that the access speed to them will depend only on the Internet connection of the visitors. However, this won't be the case in case the server has poor network connectivity or uses a network card, which just can't handle high volume of site traffic. If this is the case, it will take a while for your sites to load if many people open them simultaneously or visitors might even see error messages. Therefore you might lose visitors as almost certainly many people will not revisit your site in case they have experienced problems or slow loading speeds. That is why you ought to pay attention to the network components of any new hosting machine which you purchase and not just to the main hardware like Processor, RAM or hard disk.
Server Network Hardware in Dedicated Servers
The dedicated servers we provide incorporate gigabit network cards which are tested along with all the other hardware components before and after any new server is assembled so as to make sure that we won't use a faulty part which might cause an issue after some time. We also take advantage of the newest hardware for our internal network in the Chicago data center where we offer the dedicated plans. This includes routers, switches and hardware firewalls that can handle substantial incoming and outgoing traffic to any hosting server, while any traffic that isn't legitimate shall be filtered and won't consume your system resources. The constant access to the facility is guaranteed by using redundant backbone Internet suppliers. This way we ensure the fast and secure connection to all of our servers, so your internet sites and apps will be working at top speed all the time.
