Purchase add-ons features here You do not have to use every feature included in a hosting plan, some of them are only activated upon request. Most site features can be implemented by the user (you) through the browser based
"CPanel" (Control Panel) that each account comes with. There is a one-time $25.00 set up fee for each account, but there is never any charge to upgrade or downgrade your account to another plan. Domain Locking: We will lock all domains under our control for added security. We will only unlock a domain name by email request
and telephone confirmation of the owner/registrant or listed administrative contact. Domain locking helps deter domain hijacking; and it will be included with all domain names that we maintain in our
registrar account. URL Forwarding:
With URL Forwarding you can redirect complete web sites (or any URL) to any
other web site. This is done at the domain registrar's DNS level rather than
at our server. URL Forwarding will be included with all VS500 and higher accounts and can be substituted with URL Cloaking upon request. URL Forwarding can also be added to the VS50, VS150 and VS250 plans for an additional $1.00 per month, per domain. URL Cloaking: URL Cloaking allows you to mask a long url with one that is much shorter and easier to remember. For instance, say you have a web site at http://www.thisisalongnamebutohwell.com, with cloaking you can use http://www.shortname.com to mask the long name. Visitors to either site will see the short name in their address bar. URL Cloaking is similar to "redirecting" a web site or url in your web site CPanel (Control Panel), but this also takes place at the registrar. Implementing URL Forwarding and/or URL Cloaking at the registrar makes is faster and more reliable than a simple server level redirection. URL Forwarding will be included on all VS500 or higher accounts, and can be substituted with URL Forwarding upon request. URL Cloaking is available for an additional $1.00 per month for accounts below the VS500 level, i.e. VS50, VS150 or VS250 web hosting plans. Private Domain Name Registrations: With private domain name registrations, your name, address, phone number and email address can be blocked from all WHOIS database requests. This means when anyone checks the WHOIS database for your domain name
records, no real personal information is displayed. Currently many domain registrar’s
still display full record data including complete registrant, admin, technical and billing contact information. With private registrations, the information that is returned on the request is fake, and changes every 14-28 days. This makes it almost impossible for spammers to get your real name, address, email address or phone number, etc. Additionally, all administrative, technical and billing contact information is masked as well. This helps eliminate spam and also helps to prevent domain hijacking too. The Private Domain Registration service is included in the VS500, VS750 and VS1000 hosting plans (for primary domain name only) and is available for all domain names, whether they are hosted or parked, for an additional $9.95 per year, per domain name. This fee will be added to your regular domain name registration, transfer or renewal fees. Private Domain Name Registrations are only available for COM/.NET/.ORG/.BIZ/.INFO domain name extensions. Domain Names, Domains name registration and management: When you purchase one of our hosting plans, we would PREFER to transfer your existing domain name(s) to our registrar (BulkRegister.com) instead of keeping the name at Network Solutions, DomainPeople, Register.com, or wherever you originally registered them. This enables a smooth transition and reliable hosting of your web site. Transferring or Registering domain names through us is the only way we can offer you Domain Locking, Domain Pilot, URL Forwarding/Cloaking or Private Domain Name Registrations. These features are not available for any domain name that is NOT registered through us. We have found that this is the best way for us to satisfy your hosting needs. If your domain is not registered with our registrar, we will need the account username and password of your current registrar unless you know how to change the Nameserver information yourself, or know someone who will do it for you. If you are adamant about keeping your domain name with your current domain name registrar, we will be happy to waive the $25.00 domain name registration/yearly renewal fee, however, doing so will void any and all expressed or implied warranties on how fast we can set up your domain; and we cannot be held responsible if your domain name gets "hijacked" or "slammed" later on; and again, we cannot offer our domain name services to domain names we do not maintain with our registrar. To inquire about a reseller account for ISP's or webmasters with multiple domains, please
email the HostMaster or use our inquiry form. Please include the name of your domain, or the domain name you would like to have registered. To renew a hosting account you already have with AZRiver.com, please email billing@azriver.com with a request for someone to contact you regarding account renewal. We will contact you by phone or email. |
Data Center   
We utilize no less than FOUR world-class
state-of-the-art data centers located in Dallas, Houston and Bedford Texas and
Scranton Pennsylvania.
Each facility features between 30,000 and 100,000 square feet of total
rack space, redundant UPS systems, generator backup, VESPA detection systems, closed circuit monitoring of all areas and entrances, card key access, 24 hour manned security, redundant HVAC A/C systems, and fiber-optic
connections from 10 TIER 1 primary internet providers all operating at
a minimum bandwidth of 1Gbps, and 12 secondary providers for the ultimate in
load balancing and connectivity! |
Server Specifications
Routers and Equipment We do not over-load our server. When the number of domains we host reaches a pre-determined number, we will
add another server. Currently our servers are operating at
only 15% of total available CPU and Bandwidth.
-
Duo-Core Intel Pentium 4, 3.0Ghz CPU with 1MB L2 Cache, 1GB DDR2 RAM, Raid-5 HD's
- 100Mbps uplink
- CentOS4 Operating System (sourced from Linux)
- Juniper (M) Backbone Routers
- Hewlett-Packard Gigabit Ethernet Switches
- Routers have multiple connections to our 10 Tier 1 backbones
Connectivity We use non-blocking gigabit devices throughout the network to ensure regional latency of a few milliseconds or less, this is suitable for the most demanding delay-sensitive traffic. Use of redundant fiber rings ensures network reliability and availability.
The data centers currently has connections to more than 10 different Internet backbones
providers such as AT&T, Global Crossing, Level (3), Genuity, UUNet, Sprint,
etc. By connecting to multiple tier 1 backbones, the data can be distributed through many sources. This architectural design also means that the network connections are not dependent upon a single Internet backbone. Thus when problems do occur, traffic is automatic
re-routed, thereby ensuring the integrity of the network and continued access for our high-speed servers. This takes the term “multi-homing” to a whole new level. Presently bandwidth utilization is 5% during peak traffic times. Therefore, the network is very flexible. If one of the backbone connections experiences problems, the traffic will automatically be rerouted over other paths, thereby ensuring that users receive fast access times to sites hosted on our network.
AZRiver.com servers are not just
"top-of-the-line". Our NOC techs are constantly upgrading it to the latest
specifications. We pay careful attention to daily load, security logs, and bandwidth usage.
Our security experts constantly upgrade the Operating System and
other software on
our servers to stay on top of the never ending "exploits" that hackers
commonly take for granted. We make use of the latest and greatest software
based firewall and intrusion detection systems available. The key to

mile. Rest assured only the best hardware, software, Internet knowledge and
unsurpassed customer support is
