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.
2. Is the ecommerce hosting fast
for my customers to reach my website?
Payment Online uses leading network optimization technologies that
include network based route optimization solutions, managed security
and router services, VPN services, and content distribution services.
Our datacenter is the only one guaranteeing 100 percent uptime and
network performance that covers the entire Internet - and not just
one single network and provides 24x7x365 proactive critical monitoring
by highly-qualified and certified engineers, giving you real-time
visibility into the performance of the Internet.
3. How reliable is the connectivity
of your ecommerce hosting?
Payment Online's connectivity incorporates multiple Internet backbones,
ensuring that our servers are in close proximity to you and your
visitors. Because we are connected directly to multiple backbones,
your website will always be available and fast for visitors to visit.
Our network uptime has constantly been above the industry margin.
4. Does your ecommerce hosting include
a storefront or shopping cart software?
