Hosting Features
Here are a few of the things that set Simple Station apart from the competition.
 |
Performance Optimized Servers
We pride ourselves in our technology and prefer nothing but the best. Thus we have setup servers with:
- Dual 3Ghz Xeon servers with dual gigabit network interfaces
- All content from our servers uses Gzip technology which allows content to be compressed and stored once on our server. When someone visits your website our server will send them a compressed version of the page. This will result in lower bandwidth use and faster loading pages.

 |
Secure Server Access
We provide SFTP (secure file transfer protocol) access to all our hosting accounts. This ensures that any data you upload to your server is encrypted when it is being uploaded.
|
 |
Nightly Backups
Every night we generate a full off-server backup of your website and databases. Rest easy knowing your data is safe with us. |
 |
24/7 Server Monitoring
Our server is automatically monitored 24/7 by a team of network professionals. If for any reason our server experiences issues they will automatically restart the server to ensure downtime is kept to a minimum. Additionally we are guaranteed 99.9% uptime, which means your website will rarely if ever have problems.
