"[ViaComp] did not only guide me to develop an interactive website, but helped me to
unleash the power of the Internet, and for that I am truly grateful."

Hosting

We host our dedicated servers at a Class A Internet Hosting Facility.  Our hosted infrastructure has been designed with:

  • Redundancy - A single point of failure will never bring down our servers.  This ensures maximum up-time for your web site.
  • Scalability - An unexpected rush of visitors to some web sites creates slowdowns and, in some cases, the site to be unavailable.  Not with us.  Our web servers can distribute the load without slowing down, and our Internet connections can burst to handle the amount of bandwidth required.
  • Daily backups – All of our hosted web sites are backed up daily to a separate geographical location.
  • Network security – Our network infrastructure has been architected with the highest level of security.  We continually monitor for unusual activity and maintain our network with the last security patches and tools available.

The hosting facility itself is a first class operation complete with:

  • redundant fiber connections via multiple Internet backbones
  • triple power feeds from multiple redundant UPS modules, backed by a diesel generator
  • redundant climate control systems
  • equipment-safe fire suppression system
  • full escorted, logged, and monitored security

While many hosting facilities suffered downtime during the 2003 North American Blackout, we maintained 100% uptime.  All our sites were fully available and working during the entire event.

 

Why Have a Web Site?

According to recent statistics published in the Globe and Mail on August 17, 2006:

  • 69 per cent of those respondents will then actually make the purchase online.
  • 58 per cent of people surveyed are more likely to buy from a company that has an online presence.
  • 42 per cent of people think “more favorably” about that company.
