"I just have to tell you that I am rolling on the floor with Glee. I mentioned in a "trouble" ticket yesterday that you guys have been great -- even if it was only on the first issue. I have to say, I had been struggling with my previous hosting company.."

Our servers..
Successful Hosting web servers are custom-built industrial machines designed for a 24/7 web serving environment. Our Servers are powered by Dual Xeon Pentium 4 3.0 GHz or faster with 4GB+ of RAM. Our servers include RAID5 for redundancy and security. You'd be hard pressed to find a more stable, and faster server available. All our systems are custom built to our needs and specifications. In addition, our NOC is equipped with an inventory of identically configured, burned-in standby servers.
Automated Systems Administration
When your web sites are powered by Successful Hosting, you never have to concern yourself with developing, maintaining or upgrading the operating system on the servers. That's because Successful Hosting has a round-the-clock staff of head-of-class, highly skilled system administrators, network security specialists and hardware technicians. Unlike many web hosting companies, we do not outsource support or server administration. Every one of our staff members is based in the USA and works exclusively for Successful Hosting. We go the extras mile to ensure that your web sites are up and running on a secure, stable, high performance platform.
In addition, Successful Hosting proactively monitors the servers housing your web sites to ensure optimal performance. Remember, system administration is automatic. When you are assured of a fast, secure and reliable hosting environment, you can concentrate all the more on growing your business.
Automated Systems Administration has monitoring software integrated into the operating system. This software is designed to monitor, report and fix various system processes according to a regiment of criteria. With the direction of the Successful Hosting data center staff, operating a secure, stable and reliable web site has never been easier.
The following describes some of the monitors and the back-up procedures that proactively are performed on your server:
Automated Machine Uptime Monitor
Successful Hosting operates software that ping the servers every few minutes to make sure that each server is accessible from within and outside our network. If the server cannot be pinged, the software notifies our system engineers immediately for rapid correction.
Automated Web Serving Monitor
Our tools monitor the Apache or IIS web server to ensure that it is up and serving pages. Every two minutes, we send a test page to the http daemon. If it does not respond, our script will reload the daemon. Then two minutes later, it will send a test page again. If there is still no response, then the reload/test scenario repeats itself. After two attempts, a technician is contacted to take the remedial steps needed to make sure that servers are fully operational.
Automated Disk Space Monitor
Successful Hosting's system automatically monitors disk space usage through software that checks the free space on your web site. If your available hard drive space reaches a dangerously low level, you and our data center staff are notified via e-mail.
Automated Memory Monitor
This monitor makes sure that no process takes up more than a certain percentage of your available memory. If a process consumes more than the maximum allotment, it is temporarily killed off and the situation is reported to our data center staff.
Automated Port Monitor
Successful Hosting actively monitors all commonly used ports to make sure that they are open and to verify that they are actually passing data. The software does this by requesting data. If the port does not respond, it is restarted by the monitoring software.
Automated External Monitor
Successful Hosting servers are monitored externally. In addition to the internal software described above, there are off-network servers to provide corrective action, notification and coverage for maximum protection of service delivery. Using these off-site machines provides the ultimate guarantee that we can provide the uptime and reliability promised to our clients.
Automated Back-up
Successful Hosting executes server-wide system backups to allow us to recover a server in the event of a failure (hardware, user or software related).
