All plans include 24x7 monitoring, firewall security, and managed support for server hardware and software.

Features

24x7 Monitoring

Greatmail monitors hardware and software on our dedicated servers 24x7. Hardware monitoring tracks CPU usage, RAM utilization, disk space and system load. If we detect a potential issue, we quickly replace the hardware with new component(s). On the software side, we watch server load, MySQL functionality, mail status and web server status. If an application does not respond properly, it is automatically restarted and a technician is notified.

Performance Monitoring

From your control panel, you can easily access and review your server’s performance including CPU usage, system load, bandwidth usage and mail traffic. We routinely monitor server charts to help determine when machines are overloaded or underutilized.

Managed Security

Security is a foremost concern as we strive to provide as secure hosting platform as possible. Our engineers ensure that both the software and operating system used on your server are kept up to date and that all security patches are applied in a timely manner.

Software Updates

We regularly update and maintain all software used on your server including Apache, MySQL, Perl, PHP, Clam Antivirus, SpamAssassin and Qmail. For custom software installations, please contact your support representative.

Backups

All dedicated servers include incremental 7-day backups. We also offer optional off-site tape backups.

Software Optimization

With backgrounds in web development, our server administrators know how to optimize each server for client specific applications. One of our primary areas of optimization is MySQL which we configure to ensure top notch database performance. Another is Qmail, where our optimizations focus on fast, reliable mail delivery to keep up with the email requirements of your applications.

Dedicated Support

Greatmail provides 24x7 dedicated support to all our hosting clients. Dedicated support is like having your very own in house server analyst a phone call away. If your account manager can't immediately resolve an issue, we'll manage your support ticket until it's resolved.

Scalability

Our hosting platform is designed in a modular fashion allowing us the flexibility to meet your changing needs or growth. From a basic shared account to an advanced hosting cluster, Greatmail will be with you every step of the way.

Email Archiving

Our dedicated servers support automatic archiving for all incoming and outgoing email.
