High Availability

Redundant Domain Name Servers

A company's attitude towards something as simple as DNS (Domain Name Server) service tells a lot about their seriousness in the hosting business. As you are looking for a suitable hosting company, this could very well be the first criterion to weed out bad companies from the good.

Most companies do not have geographically redundant DNS service, nor do they have DNS failover capability. When their DNS service is down, your website will be inaccessible even when your site is perfectly functional.

At Overpin, not only do we have 4 geographically redundant DNS servers distributed at New York (New York), Salt Lake City (Utah), Plantersville (Texas), and Denton (Texas); but also have, not one, but two, DNS IP address failover for each of the four DNS Servers, which provides 100% uptime for your DNS service.

Disaster Recovery

Hourly Data Replications

The Overpin Network operates out of two datacenters in the US located in Los Angeles and Kansas City. All datacenters provide the ideal physical environment to keep your servers up and running without any interruptions.

Our Primary Datacenter resides in Los Angeles, California, where all customer servers are located. Our Secondary Datacenter resides in Kansas City, Kansas, where DR customer data are replicated to, on the hourly basis, for 90 days.

Security

All Overpin services comes with hardened security.

Firewall and Brute Force Protection

ConfigServer Security & Firewall (CSF) and Login Failure Daemon (LFD) are installed, configured, set to auto-update on our servers. CSF + LFD have most of the functions Advanced Policy Firewall (APF) provides, and more security features and brute force detection tools than BFD provides.

CSF + LFD also provides protection for small-scale DDoS attacks and SYN flood protection. The firewall also automatically updates its blacklist using the Spamhaus DROP and DShield block list to block unsafe traffic from professional spammers and hackers.

Anti-Virus Protection & Spam Prevention

Our servers are configured with Anti-Virus protection to scan emails and files or malicious software and viruses using ClamAV. ClamAV currently detects over 60,000 viruses, worms, and trojans.

Disabled IPv6

IPv4 still is the dominant player in the network world, having IPv6 turned on will not only pose a security risk, but also cause network performance degradation. We have disabled IPv6, and will turn it back on when IPv6 becomes more prevalent.
