Hosting at Allora for Raleigh businesses
Allora offers affordable hosting options for businesses while opting for advanced security and the most reliable hardware. Whether we're hosting your website, email, groupware, ecommerce solution, or other web applications, Allora will find the right plan for you. Our specialty is in custom configurations of both Windows-IIS hosting and Linux-Apache, allowing us to meet the needs of our diverse clientele in the Raleigh-Durham area.
Our Internet hosting philosophy
At Allora, we look at hosting as a vital tool of our larger practice, rather than as a product or service in itself. We know that larger competitors like BlueHost or Yahoo may offer cheaper options to the public. However, as a result of choosing hosting services with Allora, you have a team who is ready and available to promptly troubleshoot problems you may have with the service, versus the extra time and money it would take for us to resolve the problems through a third party host. Allora also offers the options of adding specialty applications and services, which would not be readily available with big name hosts. Additionally, if you want to add specialty applications or customize your Internet services, you won`t get very far talking to a call-center. At Allora you deal directly with the network technician capable of making these changes happen. You will certainly save money and work with Allora if you need our consulting services in addition to the hosting options.
Our equipment and methods
Our hosting facilities and equipment are top of the line. We employ mirror swapping for full-system backups, and RAID-5 redundant storage for data-only partitions. In addition, we perform daily backups for the data on each server (including your email and website), with archive built weekly and available for six months. On a monthly basis, the drive mirrors are swapped out. Each server is also set up with redundant power supplies, ensuring a plan B in case of this crucial company failing. This way the system will not stall if there is an issue with power. Our plan is to minimize the number of single points of failure, adding redundancy to ensure there is always a safety net. Our servers are collocated at CarolinaNET, a physically secure facility with multiply-redundant power and bandwidth, adding another layer of protection.
Hosting Rates and Availability Services
We offer a multitude of different hosting options and packages to meet our customers' varying needs. We also offer availability service packages for those customers who wish to take a proactive approach. Additional information regarding these packages can be found by following these links:
