Posted by web-hosting-blog on 11 Dec

Do we really need fire-proof web hosting? Integristech.com has moved into their new datacenter facitlity with a fire-proof make-up. Firelock, supplying the technology, can withstand 2000 degrees Fahrenheit and keeping internal temp below 125 degrees for a few hours. Data is important these days and you have got to protect it, but don't ever leave it up to the hosting provider. When keeping integrity of something this important, you better have a plan B, C and D. Don't trust anyone. It's always good to be prepared.

Holiday Season Turmoil

Posted by web-hosting-blog on 01 Dec

The colloquial term Black Friday has in effect transpired on to the online market with a force over the last decade or so. Each year the online industry is growing by leaps and bounds, but it seems that during this time, site speeds and downloads have slow for the online market. Sears was the most recent ecommerce site to feel the wrath of shoppers, experience downtime, the morning of Black Friday. The consensus is that web hosts are not up to par with the sudden burst of traffic this time of year and are not nearly prepared as they should be.

Spammerific!

Posted by web-hosting-blog on 26 Nov

For almost 2 decades now we have and are NOT fond of spam, the unsolicited, NOT the food, though some may argue the latter is worse. Most recently, we have seen the like of McColo go down in a blaze of glory as the upstream providers moved in and shut the operation down where the hosting provider was an accessory to spammers. Most of the time, you shut one down, another springs up and the volume of spam has been growing. Since the shutdown, a fortnight has shown light at the end of the tunnel, where global spam has seemed to have dropped by 75% and has remained so. Taking out the culprit at its sources provides a sense of satisfaction that finally something effective was done to combat spam!
