Livehost eXtreme servers

Speed & Reliability

Our servers are located at the "crown jewel" of East Coast Data Centers, the Hosted Solutions facility, in Boston, MA. Our network features redundant OC-12 connections and a 100% network uptime guarantee. We use high-end rack-mountable servers with SCSI drives and redundant RAID arrays -- so you never have downtime in the case of a hard drive failure. You will be in good company since your websites will be in the same data center as major private and public organizations, such as The U.S. State Department, One Beacon Insurance, The Salvation Army, Burton Snowboards, and many other Enteprise level clients.

Security

While other hosts talk about security, we have actually made the heavy investments required for enterprise level security for all accounts. We not only keep our software and systems completely up-to-date and monitor our servers 24x7, we also manually "harden" each server and OS that we use and employ custom hardware firewalls with stateful packet inspection. We have also invested in the first proven denial-of-service attack prevention system, the IPS 5500 from Top Layer technologies, which protects our entire server farm:

Top Layer is the leading anti Denial of Service (DoS) technology currently available.

The Attack Mitigator IPS 5500 is the world’s only network Intrusion Prevention System to provide any enterprise with Non-Stop Protection against both network-level and application-level attacks. Non-Stop Protection means that 100% of legitimate transactions reach their destination with no discernable impact on network latency even when under load or attack - The Attack Mitigator IPS 5500 is the only network Intrusion Prevention System product with this capability.

Enterprise Technology Made Available To You

Our proprietary hosting system utilising the H-Sphere hosting automation software was designed from the ground up to bring enterprise level hosting to a mass audience. Now you can offer the same quality of services previously available only to large corporations. You can host yourself or your client's sites on Dual Xeon servers, featuring firewalls and load balancing, with independent servers for individual resources such as web, ftp, databases, email, etc. All content is backed up daily to our local storage devices.

Better By Design

Rather than using the traditional hosting architecture where you operate all resources on the same shared server, we split each service out to its own cluster of security hardened servers.

Mail, websites, DNS, databases, and backups are all hosted on their own servers behind a firewall. This separation of services is seamless on the end user side, but it improves the security as well as the end user experience by being the most efficient use of all resources.

This architecture has the added advantage of minimising the impact of any downtime. For example, if there is scheduled maintenance on a web server, your mail will not be affected whatsoever (and vice versa).

Each cluster is setup on its own subnet within our data center and each can scale endlessly and independently so there is no worry about outgrowing the system.

Multiple Platforms and Fully Scalable

In addition, within each cluster we provision a mix of Linux and Windows servers so you can choose which to use for your account!

This gives you a huge competitive advantage over other web hosts and dramatically expands your markets. You can choose from all the latest technologies including PHP and MySQL, as well ASP, and ASP.NET, and even MS-SQL and Cold Fusion, as well as Virtual Private Servers! (coming soon).
