Website Hosting and Email Services
Up-to-Date Hardware – Website Hosting
Over The Net’s servers are the fastest, most technologically advanced available. We are constantly upgrading our systems, however, we do so with great care. Over The Net always balances between the, “leading edge” and the, “safe and what has been proven safe and reliable.” In other words, most new technology has bugs. Therefore, before Over The Net upgrades the systems we make absolutely sure that the new technology has been on the market and proven to be safe and reliable.
As hackers and thieves continue to try and access or corrupt servers around the world, Over The Net’s customers rest easy knowing that their data is safe in our PCI compliant housing.
Controlling Costs While Meeting Site Demands
The servers on which a website is housed must match the specifications of the anticipated website. This sounds obvious, however, most website hosts only offer one type of hosting platform such as Windows or Unix, Over The Net offers all platforms so whichever is best for your solution is what will be chosen. OTN will provide each of our clients with a custom hosting solution that will control costs while ensuring the integrity of the website.
Optimizing Servers
For optimum performance and speed, servers must be optimized for specific tasks. This is because various computers and platforms have different purposes. No one machine is the best at everything. Even the most expensive computer has its weaknesses. Therefore, Over The Net has several servers, each optimized for its specific task.

Over The Net takes its hosting seriously because this is the largest point of vulnerability between your business and public.
Compatibility Between Host and Website
The fact that Over The Net is both the site developer and the website host facilitates the original creation of the site and subsequent updates in the most cost effective manner. This also ensures that there will never be compatibility problems between the programs and the Servers. You own the website and all related work so that if you wanted to bring the project in-house or move to another host there would be no additional charges or expectations.
