Your local hosting partner

Services

 WA Server Hosting designs, implements, and maintains custom hosting solutions to suit any software you require hosted. We are trained in industry standards and use our knowledge to design a custom hosting package that suit's your individual needs.

Below you will find a list of common services that we host for our customers:

Custom Hosting Solutions

 Custom Hosting Solutions are for third party software applications in which your organization requires hosting. WA Server Hosting can work with you to design, implement and maintain these software hosting solutions to ensure security and reliability of your company's private information. Our server administrators have had years of experience implementing third party software for companies, and coordinating with the software producers/helpdesk themselves.

Here's a scenario on when you would need a custom hosting solution designed for your organization. "Suppose a medical center wanted their records available online on a secure private webpage requiring authentication. Their records would be held in a medical application hosted at their office. These records would need to be synchronized securely with a server at WA Server Hosting on a daily basis. The program that performs this synchronization would need to be provided by producers of the medical application hosted at their office and installed on the server."

Please contact us for a get together to discuss the implementation of your custom hosting solution in which your organization requires.

Web Page Hosting

 WA Server Hosting offers Web Page hosting for as little as $10 per month. We will construct a hosting package individual to your businesses needs by calculating quantity of data you require hosted, the amount of bandwidth your site requires and what additional services your site requires.

Many hosting companies in Australia have their servers in the United States. This is because data is dirt cheap in America. Sending or receiving a data transmission from America takes on average half a second because of the distance it has to travel. This has a negative impact on user's experience as they have a "lagging" feeling as they surf the internet. Hosting your websites and data with WA Server Hosting guarantee's you the fastest response times so your webpage will load at the touch of a button.

Please note that if you want to host a web page you may also require DNS hosting/SQL hosting services as well.

Server Hosting

 WA Server Hosting offers server hosting for companies who desire to do their own IT administration for management reasons or confidentiality reasons. We can provide you with a clean install of an operating system of your choice and a remote administration password giving you complete control over your server. We are also able to provide a remote access console so you're able to change BIOS settings and perform other administrative tasks out side of the operating system environment.

We will construct a server hosting package ideally for your businesses needs in terms of processing power, ram, disk space requirements and bandwidth usage. Under the implementation of your server we are able to pre-configure disk partitioning, firewall rules and IP addressing allowing only the specific ports/protocols you require providing your server with security.

WA Server Hosting does not supply technical support on any software problems you may encounter under server hosting without a charge. At no times will WA Server Hosting intervene on a company's server without explicit instructions to do so.

Email Hosting

 WA Server Hosting offers email hosting to companies providing a solution to meet every businesses needs. Below are a number of solutions described in plain English along with their pro's and con's so you can choose which one will benefit your organization.

  • POP3
  • IMAP4
  • HTTP
  • Exchange

POP3 is the Post Office Protocol version 3. It works like a post office. The post office is our server. The computers on your network are the letter boxes. When you open your email program, it checks for letters in the post office, downloads them to that individual computer then removes them from the server. This is a fast effective and cheap method of receiving email because emails are stored on the workstations and not the server. The disadvantage of using POP3 is email will be spread out over all computers with in your organization for the respective users resulting in backups and a disaster recovery plan very difficult. If you're a small scale organization with less then 10 users, POP3 may be for you because it's cheap, fast and not so much of a burden to instruct users how to backup their own email.

IMAP4 is the Internet Message Access Protocol version 4. With IMAP all the user's mailboxes (letter boxes) are located at the post office. When new mail comes in, the IMAP Server places it in the appropriate mailbox. The mail never leaves the mailboxes on the server. When a user opens their email client such as Outlook Express, or Microsoft Outlook, the client downloads a list of all the email in their mailbox, not the emails themselves. When the user double clicks on an email message, it will then download and display that email on the client's computer much like loading a webpage. The advantage of IMAP is all the mail is located in one place instead of being scattered around the network on client computers making the backup task easy. Disadvantages include things like storage, because it stores the mailbox for every user in your organization, the storage cost can be expensive. Another disadvantage is connection speed, because all your mailboxes are located remotely on the IMAP server, you need to take into consideration the internet speed at your office and whether or not it is sufficient for all users on your network to access the IMAP server at the same time.

HTTP is the Hypertext Transfer Protocol and can often be used for viewing mail. HTTP mail is much like IMAP because all the email is hosted on the server, and remains on the server. HTTP mail does not require an email client such as Outlook Express, because you access your mail through a webpage. HTTP mail gives users the ability to access their email from any computer in the world, by simply typing in the correct website address and entering their username and password. Because IMAP and HTTP mail store all user's mailboxes on the server, they can be used in conjunction with each other. Users can use IMAP when in the office and HTTP mail outside the office. Hotmail is an example of HTTP mail.

Exchange is a messaging and collaboration of all technologies above plus much more like calendaring, contacts and tasks, and support for the mobile and web-based access to information, as well as supporting data storage. It is part of the Microsoft's line of server products and is widely used by enterprises around the world. Exchange is a very costly solution, but offers superior features none of the other technologies offer. Exchange can be implemented in many ways, thus must be carefully planned in implemented to suit your organization's needs. If your organization has already implemented exchange, or is thinking of implementing exchange, WA Server Hosting's exchange experts can help you in a number of ways as discussed below.

Implement front-end servers for your existing exchange organization. If you require users to remotely access their email, calendar or other exchange features you will need front-end servers. Many organizations especially small ones setup their exchange infrastructure as an "all in one" allowing their users to access their email remotely to the exchange server in their internal network. This is a major security risk because if the exchange server is compromised by a hacker, the hacker will have complete access to your entire internal network. Front-end servers are the exchange servers facing the internet, taking any requests from users accessing their email remotely. They are commonly found in a datacenter away from the internal network. Front-end servers host OWA (Outlook Web Access) a HTTP mail program that allows users to access their email from any computer around the world using a strong encrypted connection. They also allow for remote users using Microsoft Outlook to connect securely into the network using strong encryption. Front-end servers do not contain any user's mailboxes; they are located in the internal network on the exchange "back-end server(s)". They access data from the back-end servers when requested by a remote user over a secure firewalled virtual private network connection into the office for maximized security. Every organization that has remote email users should have exchange front-end servers implemented securely.

Implement an exchange smart host mail relay for your existing exchange organization. A smart host is a server that will handle delivering all your mail for you. It processes bounce-backs, retries and general mail which can be very processor-intensive for your exchange back-end servers. Especially in modern times with millions of spam messages, a server can get overwhelmed with mail processing tasks and not have enough time left for normal daily operations. Our exchange experts can setup a smart host for your organization that prevents spam and internet viruses from reaching your network as well as process outgoing email messages for you. We can implement this smart host using SMTP Connector encryption or a secure virtual private network tunnel into your network.

WA Server Hosting can host your entire exchange solution in the datacenter setting up both back-end and front-end rack mount servers. All users your organization can use Microsoft Outlook configured with RPC over HTTPS which allows them to use full functionality of the remotely hosted exchange server. A front end server will be in place to serve all remote requests, while the back-end server will simply be setup to store all mailboxes.

Please feel free to contact us for a consultation to define which email solution is best for your organization.

DNS Hosting

WA Server Hosting provides local DNS hosting for fast response times. DNS is a critical thing that makes the internet work, every company need's their DNS hosted somewhere. When you type in the address www.google.com, DNS is the thing that resolves google.com and tells your computer where to find the Google server you're trying to access. Without DNS, you would not be able to go to www.google.com and you would simply get an error.

Our experienced server administrators can setup, maintain and update your DNS zone records as required.

Because DNS runs in parallel with web page hosting, WA Server Hosting can include your companies the DNS solution as part of your web page hosting package if you desire.

Spam & Virus Filtering

WA Server Hosting offers Spam and Virus Filtering for your companies email services. Spam and Virus Filtering will scan all of your inbound email, removing any spam, viruses, and other unwanted content. Using third party Spam and Virus Filtering has many advantages including:

  • Increased security. By removing virus's before they reach your network decreasing the chance of your company's network being infected with a virus.

  • Increased server performance. Especially in modern times with millions of spam messages, a server can get overwhelmed with mail processing tasks and not have enough time left for normal daily operations.

  • Decrease internet usage. If your company did its own Spam and Virus filtering, this means that your email servers would have to receive the viral/spam emails in order to filter them increasing your internet usage. If your company's internet usage is already incredibly high, having a third party company like WA Server Hosting filtering your spam and viral emails means that these nasty emails will never reach your companies email server(s), resulting in your company's email servers only receiving legitimate email.
