 | A web host fundamentally has a high-speed internet
connection. They normally have many additional Internet links both for capacity and redundancy.
|
| They have highly reliable servers to host your site.
Servers have high capacity, redundancy, fault tolerance features etc... |
| They maintain these servers at their top performance
and monitor them to respond to any fault at once. |
| Rectification of technical problems about to occur
to a hardware or software will happen even before the fault actually shows
its initial signs. Pre-failure actions and maintenance routines achieve
such results. |
| They have highly qualified and experienced support
staff so that any issue would be resolved quickly and effectively. |
| They maintain defense systems and security software against
virus, worms, hackers, and other security issues and keep these defenses
up-to-date and constantly tuned. |
| They maintain excellent electrical systems so that
electrical power flows no matter whether the electricity provider provides
it or not. This includes, UPS (uninterrupted Power Systems), generators
etc. |
| They also boast of excellent physical security so
that someone cannot vandalize their systems easily. |
| They support a large number of customers and hence
the cost for an individual site hosting will generally stay cheap. |
