Web Service Ethiopia

Living in Ethiopia, you know what the consequences of slow, unreliable and expensive internet is.

When you choose hosting you want exactly the opposite.

Let me explain what modern hosting have to offer by going through our hosting package.

Our hosting package includes:
10 GB (10 000 mb) disk space
100 GB (100 000 mb) brand width per month
5 e-mails
My SQL Databases
We guaranty 99.9% uptime
etc.

These will be more than sufficient for most websites. If you need more we will provide it for an extra fee. 

For maximum performance we are using a hosting provider in Texas, USA, which have 3 facilities, with the combined facilities of:

13600 m2 facilities (raised 7965 m2)
It is important that the servers have sufficient space and they are at a raised plato in cases of fire.

60 HVAC AC 1375 tons
Air condition is important because the servers need to be cooled down to perform optimal.

Very Early smoke Detection Apparatus
Better to turn off a server than a fire.

Pre-action dry pipe sprinkler system
To turn a fire off without water.

TXU fault tolerant electrical grid
It is important to have full control over the input electricity.

11400 amps of 480v input power
A lot of electricity available.
 
6 megawatt generator
In case of power cut.

5500 KVA UPS
For small power cut and other disturbances.

Backbone Carriers (Internet connection).
It is important that you have many suppliers of internet. If one or seven brake down (terror, technical problems or bankruptcy), then you still have your website online.

Servers
A server is a computer that delivers information and software to other computers linked by a network. Our servers are top-of-the-line Dual Xeon, where we store your website.  

Geographic environment
In our modern world a website is like the companies buildings. You assume that the companies have moved or have gone bankrupt if they are not in their building. Because a website doesn’t have a physical location, you assume that the company has gone bankrupt if you can’t reach it. Therefore it is important to choose a stable environment for your website. We have chosen USA as the best place to put our servers, because of its political stability and technical development with many backbone suppliers.
