Server Network Hardware
Learn about what networking hardware a dedicated server has and how it can have an impact on your website’s performance.
If you host your sites on a dedicated server, you would expect that they shall perform very fast and that the access speed to them shall depend only on the Internet connection of the visitors. However, this won't be the case in the event that the server has bad network connectivity or employs a network card, which just can't handle high volume of site traffic. If this is the case, it'll take a long time for your internet sites to load if many people open them concurrently or visitors could see error messages. Thus you could lose website visitors as almost certainly many people will never revisit your internet site in case they have experienced issues or slow loading speeds. This is the reason why you must pay attention to the network components of any new hosting server you get and not only to the main hardware such as Central processing unit, Ram memory or hard disk drive.
Server Network Hardware in Dedicated Servers
The dedicated servers that we offer come with gigabit network cards that are tested together with all the other hardware parts before and after any new server is assembled as to make certain that we will never employ a faulty part that could cause an issue at some point. We also employ 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 could easily cope with substantial inbound and outgoing traffic to any server, while any traffic which is not legitimate shall be filtered and won't take up your system resources. The continuous access to the facility is made certain by using redundant backbone Internet providers. That way we ensure the fast and stable connection to all our hosting servers, which means that your sites and apps shall be functioning at top speed at all times.
