Web Server Platform


Your Websites are hosted on Apache 1.4.2 on the Sun SPARCServer/Solaris 2.6 platform or IIS on Microsoft NT 4.0 platform.

The Solaris platform includes extensive public domain software such as GNU utilties, Perl4, Perl5, gcc, java, Tcl/Tk and majordomo mailing list management. The Apache server is customized for our True Virtual Web Hosting service, where every Website has a dedicated IP address and runs as an independent group of processes. This offers high security between different Websites running on the same server as well as full compatibility with the oldest of the browsers.

True virtual hosting is also provided under NT/IIS 4.0 with a dedicated IP address provided for each Website. The NT platform includes the Cold Fusion server environment for extensive database support.

Either platform can be used for the Web Commerce service using SSL certificates from the industry leader, Verisign.

All servers are directly connected to each other and our backbone Cisco router using 10/100 Mb switches for security and blinding fast performance. The Cisco router exchanges traffic directly with several global Internet providrers at the Digital IX, a world class data and communications center.

Please ask us for recommendations and assistance in acquiring and co-locating your own server on our network.
