Server Network Hardware
What networking hardware devices does a dedicated server come provided with? How could they influence the actual performance of your Internet sites?
In case you host your sites on a dedicated hosting machine, you would expect that they'll perform extremely fast and that the access speed to them will depend exclusively on the Internet connection of the website visitors. Having said that, this won't be the case in case the server has lousy network connectivity or relies on a network card, which just cannot cope with high volume of website traffic. If this is the case, it will take a while for your sites to load if many people open them concurrently or visitors might even see error messages. Because of this you could lose website visitors as most likely many people won't return to your website in case they have experienced problems or slow loading speeds. This is why you should pay attention to the network components of any new server which you buy and not only to the main hardware such as Processor, RAM or hard disk drive.

We also use the most current hardware for our internal network in the Chicago data center where we offer the dedicated plans.

The uninterrupted access to the facility is guaranteed by using redundant backbone Internet suppliers. This way we guarantee the fast and secure connection to all our hosting machines, so your websites and apps will be functioning at top speed all of the time.
