Guaranteed Server Specifications:

All of our host servers meet at least the following specifications

Supermicro Enterprise-Grade Rackmount Servers
Powerful Dual AMD Opteron (Quad Core) High-Efficiency (HE) CPUs
Minimum of 6144MB (6GB) ECC Registered DDR2 Dual Channel System RAM
Hot-Swappable Seagate Cheetah 15,000 RPM Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Hard Disks.
Hardware RAID10 Disk Controllers.
Use of 2U chassis for better cooling and air flow.
Redundant Power Supply Units (PSUs).
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) cards for hardware event monitoring.
Remote reboot functionality allows our host to power cycle servers faster if the need arises.

The data centers which house our host's web servers are purpose built buildings designed for the sole purpose of securely locating high performance internet servers. Physical access to the data centers is controlled by biometric locks to ensure that only authorized personnel can enter areas where we have servers located. All entries to and exits from the data centers are logged. Security staff constantly monitor all areas of the data centers both through the use of surveillance cameras and routine patrols 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

All of the data centers are connected to a minimum of two power grids and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) backup batteries are in place to ensure the smooth cut over to on-site diesel generators in the event that utility power to any of the premises should fail. Both the UPS and diesel generator systems are regularly tested.

Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) equipment is in operation at all of the data centers to ensure that the temperature and air circulation to all parts of the facilities are kept at an optimal level for operating the servers. Fire suppression equipment includes a pre-action dry pipe system with Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA) with several hundred smoke detectors.
