Data Center Introduction: The data center cares about its clients' trust; According to the introduction, it is "one of the largest and most connected data center hubs in the United States." Its security, network, carriers, power and cooling systems, and certifications are introduced:
24/7 Monitoring: The Hosting monitors all servers. They ensure that IT services are running 24/7/365.
Security: As a security-focused company, the data center's top priority is data and privacy protection. It has taken the following measures to guarantee security, including (but not limited to): ①.24x7x365 onsite security personnel and video surveillance cameras; ②.Key Card Access System; ③.access to elevators and data center is restricted and controlled via HID contact-less access control system; ④.FM 200 fire suppression system, etc.
Fast and stable network: The website server is connected to multiple 1.0G+ networks, which support fast and stable connections. The data center offers a "direct peering and improved network performance to hundreds of facilities on the West Coast.", and "redundant dark-fiber connects each building and divergent paths ensure unparalleled network reliability.", and "delivers direct connections to companies across Southern California but also low latency, high-availability connectivity routes to key cities around the world." The network conditions for the continents from the tests are listed in the table below:

Power redundancy: The critical infrastructure is protected by reliable and fault-tolerant 2N+1 power infrastructure. It is backed up by a redundant UPS system with 2N+1 redundancy and redundant diesel generators in the event of prolonged power outages. The infrastructure has dual power grids.
Cooling redundancy: The data center uses a software-controlled cooling system. Eleven HVAC units are in use, and two sets of HVAC units are controlled by automated software.
Fire detection and suppression: The data center is protected from fire. It uses an FM 200 fire suppression system.
Certifications: The data center has been certified with the SOC2 collocation certifications, PCI, HIPAA, the SOC Reports (Service Organization Reports) are used to assist service organizations “that operate information systems and provide information system services to other entities, build trust and confidence in their service delivery processes and controls through a report by an independent Certified Public Accountant.”
Safe Browsing and Security:
SSLTrust Verified: The website is tested by a third-party website safety & security scanner SSLTrust ; It can scan public-facing websites and check their safety by consulting over 60 databases from companies such as Comodo, Google Safe Browsing, Avira, CyRadar, Dr.Web, ESET, Sucuri, and Trustwave, etc. It helps determine whether a website is secure enough to visit and share information with.
Test date:Fri, 2 December 2022
Test Result:
①.Malware, Spam, Trust Report: Status: Finished. Results: 90 Tests Complete, 0 Positives.
②.SSL/TLS Report: Status: Finished. Results:No Issues Found.
HTTP2 Support: The website supports HTTP/2; according to introductions, "HTTP/2 (Hypertext Transfer Protocol version 2) was developed as an improvement over the previous HTTP/1.1 version to enhance web performance and efficiency." It provides web users with better performance, cheaper internet, and a media-rich experience.
Better web performance for both desktop and mobile devices: HTTP/2 was developed for low-latency transport of content over the web. Users can access web content faster, and the protocol optimizes the web experience for mobile users by providing better performance and security. All major desktop browsers support it: Chrome (40~50+), Edge (12~18+), Safari (11~17.2+), Firefox (36~52+), Opera (28~37+), etc, and it is supported by the main versions of the major mobile browsers: Chrome for Android (121+), Safari on iOS (9~17.2+), Firefox for Android (122+), Opera Mobile (73+), Android Browser (121+), etc.
Cheaper Internet and media rich experience: HTTP/2 enables telecom operators to reduce expenses while maintaining high-speed internet standards; features of it (such as header compression) reduce a few bytes from the resource-consuming media-rich content transfer, and deliver it faster.
