Our Advantages Over Other Hosts

Our revolutionary hosting architecture is the latest step to, once again, exceed the standards and expectations of the industry. Architecture is the difference between a web hosting provider that does everything to help their clients be successful and those who merely throw up a page and announce that they are a web host. Learn about our shared hosting architecture below.

A system designed to prevent unauthorized access to your web site. A firewall examines each network packet to determine whether to allow it to reach its requested destination or prohibit it and report it for further analysis.

• Allows only web traffic to reach your web site servers

• Protects your site from intruders

• Protects unnecessary traffic from reaching the hardware and software, which could potentially overload or slow down the platform

Load balancing is dividing the amount of work that a server has to do between multiple servers so that more work gets done in the same amount of time and, in general, all web sites requests get served faster. The load balancers stay in constant contact with the servers to determine how busy they are and/or if one of them has failed.

• Continuously checks status of web servers

• Determines best server for a web site request

• Provides multi-server redundancy to prevent critical failures

• Automatically takes a troubled server offline and sends an alert

A server is the hardware/software combination that serves requested web pages, files or other information. Servers answer requests from web browsers to provide information from web sites, email and databases. Then, sends that information to the requesting browser.

• Multiple server clustering ensures against individual system failure
• Excess servers provide for burst capacity (excess requests)
• Distributes requests across multiple servers to maximize performance
• Servers are internally redundant and tuned for optimal performance

Our network is monitored and maintained 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Our server and network uptime is well in excess of 99.9%. Your data is backed up daily to ensure full recovery in the event of a disaster. Our entire facility is protected by multi-stage security, FM-200 fire suppression systems, Powerware battery backup systems, and a 750,000 watt diesel generator that can run indefinitely. Your data is always safe with WildHoster.

Wild Hoster keeps your data safe with a combination of multi-layer physical security and comprehensive network security. Only authorized Wild Hoster systems administrators are permitted to access our datacenter facility. All restricted areas are protected by video surveillance as well as on-site personnel, 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

Our network connectivity is second to none. Multiple fiber-optic connections (DS-3 and OC-3c circuits, running over OC-12 and OC-48 fiber) to a record-setting eight backbone providers ensure that your Web sites will always load quickly and give your visitors the fast and smooth experience they demand. Industry-leading routing and switching hardware from Cisco Systems, Juniper Networks, Foundry Networks, and Extreme Networks keep your data flowing quickly and efficiently on our fully switched, collision-free, congestion-free network.
 

Wild Hoster keeps your Web site online through redundant network systems. Our diversely connected network ensures that your Web site will be available on demand regardless of most network problems or circuit failures. Your data is protected by multi-layer security, fire suppression systems, on-site and off-site data backup systems, and a 750,000 watt diesel generator that can keep your Web site up and running indefinitely. Our systems are designed to always stay online.

Unlike many other hosts, our Web hosting services allow you to add multiple domain names without requiring additional accounts. This can be used simply to park variations of a domain name onto a single site, or to host completely different sites within a single account, provided the sites are maintained by the same individual or group. Options such as FrontPage 2000 server extensions, secure server, additional mailboxes, custom CGI, PHP4, e-commerce software, MySQL databases, and Internet merchant accounts (for accepting credit cards online) are also available.
