Dedicated Web Server

We provide website hosting on a dedicated web server complete with RAID redundant disk drives, daily iterated off-site EVault backups and Plesk control panel. Our 1, 5 and 15 minute server load averages are fantastically low. The web server is located at a major internet exchange facility to ensure maximum speed and responsiveness. The data center offers additional redundancy in power, HVAC, network connectivity and security. Full UPS battery backup power and diesel generators are on site, as well as a state-of-the-art fire suppression system. The data center is supplied by several separate networks. The fiber provided to the data center is also provided over redundant paths, with two 10 Gigabit Ethernet lines feeding the center, plus additional fiber pairs.

CDNLayer - Data Nodes Worldwide

The Maine.Info Dedicated Web Server uses CDNLayer to push your content as close to the end-user as possible, making downloading, streaming and website loading faster and more consistent. Content is pushed to nodes in: Amsterdam, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, El Segundo, Hong Kong, Houston, London, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Seattle, Singapore, Sunnyvale, Sydney, Tokyo, Toronto and Virginia.

Server Applications

Over 50 free applications exist on our server for your use. These include Joomla (content management), Gallery (photo management), osCommerce (e-commerce solution), and WordPress (blogs).

Anti-Spam & Anti-Virus

We process all email through Google Apps Security Services to detect and eliminate spam and viruses. This is serious spam elimination. It is why many of our web hosting clients come to us and stay with us.
