What kind of servers are your sites hosted on? What kind of maintenence do web servers require? Where are your web servers located? Do you shut down your servers for routine maintenance? What programming language do you use to build your software? Can you install a security certificate on my website?

Our sites are hosted on a Redhat Enterprise Linux ES4 server. It features redundant disk storage for speed and reliability, and a 64-bit processor. The web server components are built upon open source software, such as Apache and MySQL.

The maintenance that web servers require is not that different than the computer you're using right now, though it is more complicated and more people are affected when something is broken! There are many software components used to deliver a web page when someone requests it, and we need to keep informed of any bugs or security issues with that software, and keep it as up to date as possible. There is also the daily maintenance of removing old log file entries, backing up site files and database data, and many other tasks that keep your site available and running smoothly.

You may choose to use our shared security certificate, or we can install one specifically for your website (for an additional monthly fee). Our security certificate is an SSLv3 certificate issued by GeoTrust. Your customers are equally protected with our shared certificate versus installing your own; the only benefit to installing your own is that the URL in their browser will always show your domain name, rather than ours.
