9+ YEARS IN BUSINESS

iconEXCELLENT NETWORK

By offering only tier-1 premium bandwidth from a completely redundant N+2 military-class, tier-3 facility, our speeds, dependability, and security are top notch.
NO.1 ONE OF THE WORLD'S BEST DATACENTERS
All of our servers are located in a disaster free region at the DuPont Fabros CH1 Facility in Elk Grove Village, IL, one of the most sophisticated and efficient data centers in the United States. When it comes to reliability, security, and network availability there is no better choice to provide services to both the east and west coast at uncompromising speeds.

iconAUTOMATION & PROTECTION

While most hosts work on protecting their network and service from external threats we realize that service-disrupting abuse can also originate internally. We have developed automated systems to not only protect you from external service disruptions but to also take proactive actions against internal threats, such as abusive neighbors on the same hardware node and network segment as your services.
Automatic Abuse Prevention

Automatic Abuse Prevention

Our automated system (VPSMON) ensures customers only use their fair share of system resources. The in-place system will automatically limit or take action on any disruptive customers, keeping your services unaffected and highly available.

Attack Detection & Mitigation

Attack Detection & Mitigation

Each of our VPS hardware nodes and customer services are automatically monitored for attacks.


If an attack is detected our systems will automatically unleash the protection of a Cisco Guard hardware network firewall for 24 hours, keeping your service online and accessible.

iconFULL R1SOFT CDP BACKUPS

While all our servers utilize storage devices in mirrored RAID arrays as a first line of defense against unexpected data loss, it is not a substitute for proper backup policies. We understand our customers are busy running their servers, websites, and businesses, and may overlook the importance of their own backup policy. For that reason we regularly backup all of our hardware nodes - multiple times per day. Your data is safe against any unexpected losses.

With our 10 day data retention policy we can restore your VPS or specific files from any of our restoration points by request. Having a peace of mind about the safety of your data is just one of the extra benefits of choosing us as your VPS provider.

  • Intel Solid-state Drives (mirrored RAID) storage
  • Quad-core Intel Ivy Bridge processors
  • 1 Gbps network uplink

We run the latest major OpenVZ RHEL 6 kernels across all of our hardware nodes.
