This information only pertains to Hurricane Electric's Shared Web Hosting package. There may be different information in our other categories.

Do you test your system for connectivity?

Yes.

What is the server configuration?

We have many servers, but the base configuration is LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP).

What kind of connection speed are you running?

We are directly connected to the Internet via multiple full 10 Gbps (OC-192 / STM-64) (10,000 megabits/second) lines.

What is your up time?

24/7, 365 days a year.

Will this server support pages with backgrounds, tables, server push, and client pull ?

Yes.

On which kind of UNIX system would our programs run?

A high performance POSIX compliant Unix called Linux.

What kind of web server software do you use?

Apache, the most widely used server software on the web. It is very high performance, compatible with NCSA, and has a catchy name.

Is there any possibility that the server we are on will be down for an extended period of time say one to two weeks?

No. We do hard disk to hard disk backups and we keep hardware spares available. In addition, we do not have a cash flow/credit problem and can make any necessary capital expenditures.

Are inputs to the server case sensitive?

Yes.

How many modems do you have?

We don't have any modems. We directly connected to the Internet via multiple full 10 Gbps (OC-192 / STM-64) (10,000 megabits/second) lines.
