Managing
Web Servers - We Do It For You!
 |
Web Server hardware is expensive.
Servers can cost $100,000 each or even more and the are
extremely complicated. No business owner wants to learn
complex Unix language to have a website, so we take care
of all of that for you.

Many companies manage their
own web servers on site, in their offices or as part of their
office or company network. Of course most of the smaller
companies don't have the budgets for that and they use a shared
system like pageBuzz.com and only pay for the part they use.
So we manage all that
for you including the tens of thousands of dollars up in front
costs for hardware, updates and software changes.
We take care of all the
technology, manage the servers and keep the operating systems up
to date and secure. We maintain the backup servers and generators
so when any component fails we stay online.
All of this is extremely
expensive as well as requiring the most qualified people in the
industry to manage the routers, servers and the physical
infrastructure.
But we take care of all of
that for you and you never have to worry about it.
In 2013 we migrated our entire
datacenter from Michigan to Tampa Florida and no website was ever
offline or lost even one page view.
We did this by duplicating the
networks in both locations and running them simultaneously as the
transition was managed over several weeks. It was a huge project,
but that is what we are doing here at pageBuzz.com to keep
everything running smoothly for our customers.
It is typically in IT that
what you don't see that is even more impressive that what you do
see.
Our back end is amazing using
all enterprise level servers, fiber optic routers and extensive
automated monitoring systems that meter website traffic, load
balancing, server performance and even room temperature and
humidity. Everything is a science from the web layer down to the
core operation of the datacenter.
Any of this would overwhelm
most companies IT departments and likely bankrupt them in the
process. So letting us deal with the software, hardware and all
the headaches gives you one less issue to deal with.
We have been managing our own
servers since 2001 and have created some amazing proprietary
systems that make our network smooth and worry free. Systems like
our own ARTB software allow
redundancy of websites at a reduced cost while allowing high
availability conditions though automated systems.
So while you have no interest
in managing your own servers, we always like to remind everyone
that that is a big part of our service. Without that massive
infrastructure there would be no websites or cool features to
build them.
This also makes our own online
tools that much better since we can integrate them deeper into
the network often spanning multiple servers for faster responses
and better performance.
Other hosts can talk like that
but they don't have the backend technology to actually do it.
Everyone says they are the
best, but have they spend over a decade developing their own
operating system or are they just deploying commercially
available solutions?
W realized early that
commercial solution just would not do what we needed and the
reliability was often too risky, so we began creating our own
systems to manage dns, mail and network uptime.
We now have systems in place
to monitor websites, alert us when loads are high or servers are
having problems, from drive errors to cooling fans running too
slow.
We can offer what other host
can't because we have been building those systems for many years
and none of our systems are commercially available.
While our software has a
reputation of being simple and easy to use, our technology
exceeds everyone in our market and our network is superior in
every way to any shared hosting platform available.
Just imagine, if we can
build the tools so people can easily edit pages and manage
site, think about what we built on the back end to make our
own jobs easier every single day. All of this makes this
complex business more affordable to our customers. More
reliable and faster than everyone else.
