Speed & Reliability
We splurge on the best hardware and connection possible for these webservers.
We have an OC-48 connection from our servers out to the internet. That's 672 times faster than a T1. That's 2.4 gigs a second. That's about 800 MP3 files in one second.
What that really means is your website will come up lightning-fast. Your fans will appreciate it. Your sound clips will play without stuttering. Your site itself will be much faster than anyone's connection, no matter how many people are connected.
We have 26 webservers, each of them a SuperMicro 6022 P8. Dual-Xeon with 6 SCSI drives in a RAID 5 array, meaning that even if a hard drive dies your site will not go down.
All our servers run FreeBSD, the fastest most reliable operating system used by the top ISPs.
