Kropf.com = Fast & Reliable Hosting!
Here are some reasons we do a far superior job of
hosting your domain's email and/or web site:
- We start by using state-of-the-art hardware with quad Intel Xeon processors
inside, and built-in redundancy with mirrored RAID hard-drives and triple power
supplies.
- Our SCO UnixWare7 software is designed and top
rated on Enterprise Class systems requiring 24hrx7dayx365day/yr. main-frame
type "reliability" and "availability". This same software
is among the most secure in the industry. Our "real" UNIX on Intel
based servers run for months (and even years) uninterrupted! (Serving
YOUR Internet presence non-stop!)
- Our server's clocks are synchronized hourly to official U.S. time (NIST, NTP).
- We register your domain name(s) and make sure that they are renewed
automatically so there will be no interruption due to lapsed registrations!
- Because the Domain Registration Contacts are
publicly accessible and regularly "SPAMmed", we use our name
instead of yours to keep YOUR email address(es) and phone numbers OUT
of the public databases. (Someone has got to be on the lists, and we
already are, so we protect our customers from the junk-email abuse and
slammer scams.)
When we (re)register your domain, YOUR business name is listed as the
registree, but not your email address or phone numbers.
- We can assign an exclusive IP address to your Web Site
so your domain name will ALWAYS serve YOUR web page... not someone else's!
This ensures that ALL web browsers can find you!
Old browsers are not smart enough to play the games some Web Hosts
require. The result is that the web page supplied might not even be YOUR
pages, but those of your hosting bureau! The reason for this is that the
Web Host is spreading a single "IP" address across many customers.
Usually the Web Host company uses the real IP for their own web page, so
if your customer is using one of these older browsers, they will get the
Web Host company's web page instead of your page.
- We setup your web site domain to be accessed whether the domain
is entered with the "www." prefix or not.
- We use American Power Conversion's "Smart-UPS" battery
backed Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems that also regulate
the AC power continuously. This "clean" power helps to avoid
power supply degradation.
- If our local power utility fails, we switch to our own diesel
generator until the utility power resumes.
- We'll host your domain, but not your modem or cable/dsl router...
To ensure our Internet connections are fully available for our hosting
customers' web sites and email, we do NOT provide standard modem
access to home users. Because of our high level of service satisfaction,
many of our hosting customers wish we did provide dialup access, but if
we did, the many downloading the Gigabytes of video and mp3 files or
the latest virus would only compromise the systems that we would rather
totally reserve for our hosting customers. (We see this as the main
reason ISP's do not make great hosting bureaus.)
- We've been administering highly reliable UNIX
servers since the mid '80s.
- We've been Internet registered since 1991 and actively using the
Internet since 1992. Many call us an Internet Pioneer.
- We've been hosting Web sites since 1995.
- For the ultimate in reliability, we primarily utilize UNIX operating
systems for web sites, and all DNS and email hosting/filtering is performed
ONLY on UNIX systems.
- The privacy of our customers' information contained in email, written,
or oral correspondence is a top priority. We strive to maintain the
highest level of honesty and integrity regarding your confidentiality.
- We do not rent or sell your information to any outside source.
We look forward to providing you an extremely high quality service with
a personal attitude of solving and preventing problems to help your business
be more successful via the Internet!
