In the event that you host your sites on a dedicated hosting server, you would expect that they shall perform extremely fast and that the access speed to them shall depend entirely on the Internet connection of the site visitors. Nevertheless, this is not going to be the case in the event that the hosting server has lousy network connectivity or employs a network card, which simply can't handle high volume of traffic. If this is the situation, it'll take quite a long time for your websites to load if a lot of people open them concurrently or visitors may see error messages. Because of that you could lose website visitors as in all probability many people won't return to your site if they have experienced problems or slow loading speeds. This is why you need to pay attention to the network components of any new hosting machine you purchase and not just to the main hardware which includes CPU, Random access memory or hard disk drive.

Server Network Hardware in Dedicated Servers

The Linux dedicated servers that we provide feature gigabit network cards that are tested alongside all other hardware parts before and after any new machine is put together in order to ensure that we will not use a faulty part that might cause an issue sooner or later. We also use the newest hardware for our internal network inside the Chicago data center where we offer the dedicated plans. That includes routers, switches and hardware firewalls that can deal with enormous incoming and outgoing traffic to any hosting machine, while any traffic that's not legitimate will be filtered and shall not take up your system resources. The continuous access to the center is made sure by using redundant backbone Internet suppliers. This way we ensure the fast and reliable connection to all of our servers, so your sites and applications will be functioning at top speed at all times.
