SERVER SOFTWARE
The software a server runs is very important, all our servers run is Redhat Linux which is an open source UNIX based operating system. It is considered the most reliable operating system for a server to run due to its high reliability, security and efficient use of system resources like memory and CPU power. It has many benefits over any other operating systems which are resource hungry, unreliable and suffer from more security problems compared to Linux.
Another part of the software are the automated systems which run things like mail, web server, name server and other systems. For this we have developed our own system and not used an off the shelf product which allows us to make our system unique and design in our own special features. For more info on this system you can see our control panel information page.
