If you host your sites on a dedicated hosting machine, you would expect that they'll perform very fast and that the access speed to them shall depend only on the Internet connection of the website visitors. However, this is not going to be the case in case the server has poor network connectivity or uses a network card, which just cannot cope with high volume of traffic. If this is the case, it'll take a while for your sites to load if many people open them simultaneously or visitors could see error messages. Because of this you may lose site visitors as almost certainly many people will never revisit your website in case they have experienced issues or slow loading speeds. That's why you should pay attention to the network components of any new hosting machine which you acquire and not only to the main hardware such as CPU, Random access memory or hard drive.

Server Network Hardware in Dedicated Servers

The dedicated servers that we offer feature gigabit network cards that are tested alongside all other hardware components before and after any new hosting server is built in order to make certain that we won't employ a faulty part that can cause an issue eventually. We also employ the most up-to-date hardware for our internal network in the Chicago data center where we offer the dedicated plans. That includes routers, switches and hardware firewalls that can cope with massive incoming and outbound traffic to any server, while any traffic which is not legitimate will be blocked and won't use up your system resources. The uninterrupted access to the center is guaranteed by using redundant backbone Internet suppliers. This way we guarantee the fast and reliable connection to all of our hosting machines, which means your sites and apps shall be up and running at top speed all of the time.
