Servers and Network

Fast Servers

We use only top of the line Dell servers, installed and configured by our in-house expert system admins. These are housed at Teraco in Johannesburg and run on a redundant network.

Security

Our network is secured by firewalls and our servers are protected by multiple security enhancements including mod_security, Ksplice and PHP hardening. Client and network security is our top priority.

Advanced Statictics

Many SEOs prefer cPanel because of the amount of information it provides about web traffic. Web statistics can be generated by three different statistics generators. In addition, logs of errors encountered by website visitors, bandwidth tracking, and even raw FTP access logs are available via the cPanel interface.

If you're unsure please contact sales.
