Ecommerce Hosting Frequently Asked Questions

1. What type of ecommerce hosting servers do you use?

Payment Online uses industrial-strength power servers which are built for the sole purpose of being mission-critical application servers. Our servers are powered by Intel® Dual XEON 3GHz+ processors with ultra fast 10,000rpm SCSI drives (RAID-1), 2x512KB cache, 4GB DDR ECC RAM, with a reliable backup solution. Unlike other hosting companies, we do not overload our servers with thousands of web sites - because we are ecommerce transaction processor - not a website hosting company. Ecommerce hosting has to be absolutely reliable and available for transactions otherwise orders are lost. Hence why our infrastructure is designed to be lightning fast and extremely reliable and robust.
