If you host your internet sites on a dedicated hosting server, you would expect that they'll perform very fast and that the access speed to them shall depend exclusively on the Internet connection of the site visitors. However, this will not be the case in case the server has poor network connectivity or employs a network card, which simply can't handle high volume of website traffic. If this is the case, it will take a while for your websites to load if lots of people open them simultaneously or visitors might even see error messages. Because of this you might lose visitors as most probably many people won't revisit your website in the event that they have experienced issues or slow loading speeds. That is why you should pay attention to the network components of any new hosting server which you acquire and not just to the main hardware which includes Central processing unit, Random access memory or hard disk drive.
Server Network Hardware in Dedicated Hosting
The Linux dedicated hosting that we offer you come with gigabit network cards which are tested together with all the other hardware parts before and after any new machine is assembled as to make certain that we will never use a faulty part which could cause a problem eventually. We also use the most up-to-date hardware for our internal network inside the Chicago data center where we offer the dedicated plans. That includes routers, switches and hardware firewalls which can certainly deal with huge incoming and outgoing traffic to any machine, whilst any traffic that is not legitimate will be blocked and shall not use up your system resources. The continuous access to the center is guaranteed by using redundant backbone Internet suppliers. That way we ensure the fast and secure connection to all of our servers, which means your internet sites and apps shall be functioning at top speed all the time.
