The
most important consideration in selecting a Hosting provider is
Uptime. There are several web hosting companies who will sell you
web hosting for throw-away pricing. The difference however comes at
the cost of Loss of Customer Satisfaction.
At Web
Terminals, we host all our servers at World Class Datacenters
worldwide, ensuring highest uptime commitments for all our
Customers. We have various well-defined processes in place to ensure
greater than 99.9% uptime.
Our
International Offices are in Melbourne (AUS), Bern (Swiss), Holland
and currently we are planning another two in UK and India. Web
Terminals staffs its operations with an experienced and dynamic
management team.

Network Uptime
All datacenters whom we tie-up with have greater than 6 redundant
connections to the Internet. Web Terminals selects its Datacenters
with utmost care, and as such Network Downtime is minimal. We
guarantee that unscheduled Network Downtime will not be greater than
0.01% in a month. |

|
 |
Hardware Uptime
All our Server Hardware goes through an extensive hardware burn-in
process at our office, before it is deployed at the datacenter. Most of
our diagnostic tests run well over 24 hours and ensure that
the hardware components will not fail when used under peak stress
loads. Nevertheless, despite this, if we do have a hardware failure,
we have standard replacement hardware for ALL components, and a 3
hour replacement guarantee from all our hardware vendors. |

Monitoring
We have monitoring systems which check uptime of not just our
servers, but also every service and resource of our servers. If
there is any alert for any server all our
tech support personnel are immediately alerted in the office.
Additionally if this issue is not resolved within 5 minutes, then
the issue is escalated, and SMS alerts are sent every 5 minutes to
everyone including our Management, with the name of the server, and
the problem with that server, until the issue is resolved. |

Connectivity
We provide connections to multiple backbones to ensure the fastest
possible delivery of data to your end-users. Our network utilizes
high-speed switched Ethernet and we connect with multiple tier-1
upstream providers for redundancy and optimal routing of your
traffic.

Multi-Homed Network
We provide transit from a number of backbone providers to ensure
your users receive the fastest access to your Web site and fast
packet return delivery.

Guaranteed Packet Delivery
We offer superior reliability of data by guaranteeing minimal packet
loss in the network. And, we work with our network providers to
ensure that all packets leave our network at the highest contracted
speeds and are delivered to your end-users. |

Bandwidth Utilization
Our networks are designed to ensure excess capacity exists even in
peak operating hours. We demand that excess bandwidth be the norm,
even during the largest traffic spikes. We continue to add new
connectivity/routes to ensure that this excess is retained and your
content is sent to your end-users as efficiently as possible. |

Network Providers
Our Network Providers are also our Technology Partners. They work
with us to establish best-of-breed services for our network access,
and they provide carrier services to our co-location customers.

Security
We run periodic (every 15 days) security checks on the
servers and generates reports with the following details
using third party tools. Periodically we check for any
OS/Application software updates for all our servers. All our
UNIX servers are put on an automatic update schedule. |

Operating System Flexibility
We recognize that different platforms excel in different
applications and hosting. We have developed expertise in multiple
platforms to allow customers to select the platform that meets their
performance and budget needs. But we strongly recommend the UNIX
platform for our customers. |
