Company History

Founder Ivan Storck has been hosting web sites for his design clients since 1999. Prior to that, he held positions as an IT and Marketing Manager for technology companies, including positions where he managed professional hosting environments. The team has recently expanded to include staff at our data centers so that our technical support is available 24x7x365. The profits from the web hosting service are re-invested in the Sustainable and Green Marketing community - a unique community giving green entrepreneurs advice and tools needed to bring their marketing to a professional level, in an ethical and sustainable manner.

Our Network Technology

Powerful – Intel Dual Xeon Servers

Our servers run dual or quad Intel Xeon processors with 2-4GB of RAM and RAID protected hard drives providing the power, versatility, and reliability required for high end servers. The combination provides outstanding performance and headroom for peak workloads, resulting in faster response times.

Reliable - RAID Disk Mirroring

RAID is short for Redundant Array of Independent Disks and used to mirror data on two disk drives simultaneously to ensure data integrity. Disk mirroring protects from loss of data by instantly switching to the other disk with no interruption in service if one of the disk drives fail without requiring data restoration from a backup.

RAID also provides twice the read rate of a single disk to increase performance. When multiple requests are made for the same data, demand can be distributed between two disks therefore decreasing response time for data access.

Secure, Standard and Flexibile - Linux Operating System

We exclusively use the Red hat Linux (Enterprise/Fedora) and CentOS operating system on our servers. Linux is one of the most popular server operating systems in the industry today due to it’s scalability and track record as the most stable operating system on the market. It is constantly under active development which insures a reliable, secure, and robust platform for web hosting environments.

Redundant Datacenters

We operate out of two world class datacenters, ThePlanet and NAC. These two locations provide our clients with complete redundancy.

ThePlanet Datacenter

ThePlanet is located in Dallas, Texas and offers complete redundancy in power, network connectivity, and security. The network is fully meshed and redundant with 10 tier one backbone providers with at least 1Gbps or greater uplink which includes AboveNet, AT&T, Broadwing, Global Crossing, Level3, nLayer, Sprint, Time Warner, UUNET, and Verio.

NAC Datacenter

NAC is located in New Jersey and considered one of the best networks in the world. NAC has connections to multiple tier one backbone providers including Level3, AboveNet, UUNET, InterNAP, Genuity and over 300 peering points and transit providers spanning three countries within North America and Europe.

Our network is consistently monitored 24/7 by both an in-house staff and a third party monitoring company, Alertra (www.alertra.com).
