If you host your sites on a dedicated hosting server, you would expect that they will perform very fast and that the access speed to them shall depend solely on the Internet connection of the visitors. However, this is not going to be the case if the server has bad network connectivity or employs a network card, which simply can't deal with high volume of website traffic. If this is the situation, it'll take a long time for your websites to load if lots of people open them concurrently or visitors might even see error messages. Thus you could lose site visitors as most likely many people won't revisit your site if they have experienced issues or slow loading speeds. This is why you ought to pay attention to the network components of any new server you buy and not only to the main hardware like Central processing unit, Ram memory or hard disk.
Server Network Hardware in Dedicated Servers
The Linux dedicated service that we offer come with gigabit network cards that are tested together with all other hardware components before and after any new machine is assembled so as to ensure that we will never employ a faulty part that can cause a problem at some point. We also take advantage of the most current hardware for our internal network in the Chicago data center where we offer the dedicated plans. That includes routers, switches and hardware firewalls which can cope with enormous incoming and outgoing traffic to any machine, while any traffic which is not legitimate shall be filtered and will not take up your system resources. The continuous access to the facility is ensured by using redundant backbone Internet providers. That way we ensure the fast and stable connection to all of our servers, so your websites and apps will be operational at top speed all the time.
