Server Network Hardware
What networking hardware devices does a dedicated server come provided with? How can they affect the actual operation of your Internet sites?
How quickly an internet site will open would depend not only on the Internet connection of the customer, but also on the connection of the server where the website is hosted and on the network infrastructure - routers, server network card, etc. Slow connection or hardware that cannot cope with a high volume of incoming and outbound traffic can have direct impact on the user experience of your website visitors and the efficiency of your internet site because people shall most probably see error messages that the site is not available or it will take some time for your content to load. If this kind of a thing happens, it is unlikely that the guests will revisit your website. That is why you must always check the connectivity of any hosting server that you purchase and not just the main hardware components which include hard drive, processor and physical memory.

Server Network Hardware in Dedicated Servers
The
dedicated servers we offer you come with gigabit network cards which are tested together with all other hardware parts before and after any new hosting server is built in order to make certain that we won't use a faulty part which might cause an issue after some time. We also employ the newest hardware for our internal network within the Chicago data center where we offer the dedicated plans. This includes routers, switches and hardware firewalls that can handle huge inbound and outgoing traffic to any hosting server, while any traffic that's not legitimate will be blocked and will not take up your system resources. The constant access to the facility is made certain by using redundant backbone Internet providers. This way we guarantee the fast and stable connection to all of our hosting machines, which means that your internet sites and applications shall be up and running at top speed all of the time.
