Website Hosting
In order to have your website live on the Internet, you’ll need a “host” server that is connected to the Internet continually. However, it’s not very feasible to set up your own server and connection. The initial set up, ongoing maintenance and technological changes and upgrades can become very expensive.
Professional hosting providers, like InteractOne, provide 24/7 supervision, maintenance, back-up power systems, daily back-up of your site and activity, technology upgrades, server-based software and updates to support various kinds of interactivity, e-commerce, and more.
We partner with various hand-picked hardware and telecommunications partners in order to provide our customers with the best solutions for their Internet site. Further, because we handle all technical service matters – including hosting and connectivity issues – we are your only point of contact for any problems or upgrades you need to discuss.
Virtual Servers
A virtual server is a fully-supported server that shares its available space among several companies, since most smaller websites consume only a small part of the storage capacity and data processing resources of an Internet server. An economical way to provide small to medium-sized customers with hosting services is to share a single server among several customers.
To you, to your visitors, and to the other companies on the same server, this sharing is invisible. It has no negative effect whatsoever on the quality or capabilities you receive for your hosting service. Most of our customers use this hosting option.
Dedicated Servers
A dedicated server is a single server that is totally reserved for just one client website. The entire configuration of that server is devoted entirely to the functions and needs of that client.
For a large e-commerce site, this is an ideal solution for taking maximum advantage of bandwidth for a huge volume of transactions. Further, you are assured that the total functionality of the server is custom-designed solely to support your site and related interfacing systems.
Co-Location and Data Centers
Co-location is when you locate your server within an outside data center to take advantage of their secure, climate-controlled environment, high-speed connections, redundant power back-up systems, direct-to-backbone internet connection, and their 24/7 engineering support. You are essentially purchasing bandwidth and assured uptime for your server at a much lower rate than buying your own fiber lines and setting up your own related support systems for your server.
Co-location at a data center offers the advantages of cost savings on high-speed line services, higher reliability due to a shorter connection to an Internet backbone router, a near 100% uptime, and redundant systems that assure an uninterrupted connection.
Traffic Analysis
Every visitor to your site creates traffic data that helps us make your site better, more relevant to visitors, and more effective. We take that data and analyze it to determine which keywords or subjects bring visitors to your site, which pages get the most attention and hold visitors for the longest period of time—even data about the sources of your visitors, and much more.
Using sophisticated traffic analysis methods, we provide an in-depth report that tells you who is looking at your site. We analyze your traffic for every possible meaningful trend. This helps you make wise choices for future site improvements, interactivity, content, offers, etc.
