Data Center
Our servers are located in a carrier grade, state of the art data center in Houston, Texas USA. Servers are placed within our air conditioned secure environment to ensure maximum uptime. We have a huge connection capacity worldwide with built in redundancy. We pride ourselves on our reliable service. It is for this reason that we provide our clients with a 99% uptime guarantee for all hosting accounts. You can view our network operations and server data center here.

UPS Power Supply
All of our servers are plugged into a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply). UPS's serve as an intermediate power supply in the event of a power failure to give us ample time to power up the backup generators. You can view our UPS Power Supply here.

Security and Data Backups
The data center facility is very secure. The facility is monitored by a security team, cameras and has secure access control. Each night we backup our entire system onto another hard drive which means in the event of system failure, you should have not lost any files. We also keep daily, weekly and monthly mirrors of your data. You can view our security here.

Network Monitoring
The critical services on all of our services are monitored redundantly: once by the servers themselves, and once by an external monitoring system. If a service fails, the server is aware of it within 120 seconds and automatically informs our technicians as well as attempting to restart the service itself. This double tiered system provides our customers with maximum service uptime and reliability. You can view our network operations here.

All these factors combine to make Digital Servers one of the best performing and most reliable web hosting companies available in the industry. Further details of our services can be found in the Web Design and Web Hosting sections of this web site. If you have any questions then please contact us.
