Our servers are state-of-the-art to keep your site running smoothly. We chose Linux for its reputation as being extremely reliable. It is highly effective against viruses and has a proven track record of high reliability; much better than Windows servers.
“The best server platform for almost any business is the combination of Linux, (FreeBSD, Solaris), and Apache server, the MySQL database, PHP, and PERL . . . . .We can’t recommend using a Microsoft Web Hosting platform at this time.”
