Server Network Explained

Around March-April, a fellow friend/client Kim outgrew the limitations of Godaddy’s Shared Hosting platform with her business that is a music e-magazine for music in London, UK. Kim came to CainTechServices LLC as a client due to unjust bills from Justhost at over $400 a year for hosting, not counting domains! (December 2014 and previous,) On-top of that Justhost was emailing her ultimatums over file count (too many images, over 7 years of website content.) The ultimatums were about shutting down her website, over violation of the terms of service over a 50,000 file count limit.

In April, NeverEnoughNotes (NEN) started to experience blackouts and downtime with the website being unreachable. For one month, CainTech Services dealt with this problem, the solution as suggested by a fellow IT company in Gibraltar Spain Want Studios LTD was to have NEN have it’s own server. Since it was apparent by WANT Studios that NEN had grown to large for services offered by Godaddy.

Over the past two weeks NEN uses it’s own resources for NEN’S website. There are NO downtime issues, no 30 seconds or more load times etc. Speed of NEN was additionally cut down to 60-300 milliseconds in website speed, as opposed to 5-45 second load times.

This has been accomplished due to the fact of CainTech Services now operates it’s own content distribution network (CDN) on continental North America/Europe with over 70 total servers. 25 in the USA, and 34 in Europe.

peering-network-europe — European Servers

Along with our CDN as the backbone for website loading times our server farm is located in these locations:

There are Secondary DNS servers on both continents for load time balancing as well.

Our Secondary DNS locations:

Dallas, TX
Chicago, IL
Los Angeles, CA
Reston, VA
London, UK

Each secondary DNS server is completely independent so an outage at one will not affect name resolution for your DNS zones.

These servers are now available to all CainTech Services clientele in 2015 if they ask to upgrade to new servers.

Under the current server architecture/platform load times are seen for our client The Monroe Buzz which will be migrated to the new server in October 2015.
Please note 1,000 milliseconds equals 1 second, thus 10,000 milliseconds = 10 seconds etc.

By the fourth quarter, all clients should be migrated to new servers. CainTech Services will always continue to deliver affordable hosting and services compared to it’s competitors. As stated there will be no price increases.

As a note, there is nothing wrong with Shared Hosting that Godaddy provides for what many may deem as mom and pop businesses or small businesses. Though when your website grows too large in terms of it’s content, or website traffic. Since NeverEnoughNotes is listed in Google News search results etc. You as a website owner will require dedicated resources to your website that are not shared resources between hundreds or thousands of other customers. Each service has it’s own strengths and disadvantages.
