|
| Minimal or no firewall protection |
Dual firewalls with intrusion detection and automatic up-to-the-minute updates |
| Hundreds of domains on one server |
Servers not overloaded to ensure they can provide adequate RAM and bandwidth to each site |
| All website files/directories stored in one main directory on the server |
Server is partitioned with multiple VPSs customized for different types of websites |
| Email accounts and websites may all be hosted on the same shared server |
Email and websites are hosted by separate servers |
| One IP address shared by all domains on the server |
One IP address shared between websites on each VPS. A different IP address shared by domains on the email server |

Email service includes hosted SpamWeeder filtering service with administrative access and separate spam quarantines for each user |
| Outdated, unreliable equipment |
Servers receive regular maintenance by Webservio engineers and have dual power supply with redundant switching |
