We are always making improvements and monitoring the health of our servers. Our first class monitoring means we are alerted to possible server issues immediately by email and text SMS. In addition the servers we host your account on are the same servers we use to operate our own business on a daily basis. We usually are the first ones to notice any possible issues before they become too serious and resolve them immediately.

Your site will be hosted in a first class data center with diesel back up generators on an internal 100 MBps LAN connection. Your site will be hosted on a Windows 2003 server with dual 3.2 Ghz processors with an 800 FSB and 1 GB of DDR RAM or better.
