What measures has WebCom taken to assure high performance?
WebCom has taken the following measures to assure high performance:
- The primary WebCom Servers
run on high-end Unix
RISC platforms.
- WebCom Servers are connected to the Internet via high-speed data lines:
Multiple fiber-optic OC3 links (about 45 times faster than T-1).
- WebCom is committed to continuous upgrade of hardware and network systems
to maintain a high-level of performance regardless of the number of subscriber
accounts.
- WebCom uses the high-performance, robust Apache Web Server which greatly
out-performs most propriatary servers and is very flexible giving us the
ability to adapt it to our customers' needs. Apache has been proved to be
very reliable and has become the industry standard for web servers.
- Web Communication's services are focused on high performance data service.
Therefore, we provide access to user accounts through FTP
and the Web
(using the WebCom File
Manager) only. (Unlike many Web services which allow full Unix logins
which customers can use to write programmatic Unix "shell scripts"
and run other software which consume system resources). WebCom servers
are focused exclusively on running server software, and not session-oriented
or client services.
- WebCom (Unlike many Web service providers) does not allow any custom
software to be developed, installed, or executed on WebCom systems. All
WebCom software used by WebCom customers has been carefully engineered
for peak performance. This policy also enhances the security of WebCom
systems.
- WebCom Service Plans are allocated
a standard amount of disk space and a generous network transfer allowance.
Any excess usage is charged on a metered basis, at nominal rates. This
policy allows us to guarantee that access to your data will not be impeded
by users providing extremely popular information and images without paying
for the resources consumed. This policy prevents problems of overwhelmed
systems which plague many Internet servers.
