Overview - Sirrus Web Technologies provides a wide variety of services for clients. To properly accommodate the growing variations in account needs, Sirrus provides UNIX servers (running FreeBSD 4.11, FreeBSD 5 or 6, RedHat Linux SE OS, with Apache Web Server 1.3.x or Apache 2.0), Windows servers (for clients requiring FrontPage extensions, Access Database Use, etc.), and Dedicated servers (for large sites requiring vast resources).

Server Specifications - A hosting service is only as good as the hardware and connectivity they offer. Speed and performance are the visible characteristics of any website and can be directly related to the success, or failure, from a financial point of view. Sirrus has adopted a policy to cap the number of sites on each server to insure that the load capacity goes no higher than 60% during peak hours. This provides plenty of breathing room for each site to grow without running the risk of "pinning" the server (resulting in poor server response time). Below outlines a servers minimum physical characteristics.

Pentium 2ghz to Quad Core 3.2Ghz MHz Processors

800 MHz Bus motherboard or faster

All Servers on 100mb full duplex ethernet connections

OC3, OC12, Gigabit Ethernet Based Internet Connection

All CISCO Routers and HP switches

Our Network - Our entire Network is on CompleteWeb's Fiber Network, based OC3, OC-12 and Fiber Gigabit network. This technology offers our network resilience during times of network failures. Since our optical network is based on a non-blocking switched based architecture, during network failures, backbone trunks reroute around troubled spots across the Internet. These reroute times are handled within milliseconds! This gives our network the reliability and speed that you expect.
The combination of state-of-the-art Cisco equipment, fully meshed network topology, and redundancy make for a network you can count on to provide the highest quality service, reliability and uptime.

Account Specifications - Our regular accounts, or shared server accounts, group sites within a server based on bandwidth usage, load average, and available resources. Consistent with our policy to maintain 60% maximum load capacity through peak hours, all servers are balanced accordingly. Below outlines the features available for our regular account customers
