Cookware provides web hosting services using SUN Ultra and Sparc servers running UNIX. UNIX servers are more reliable than other servers and are not susceptible to worms and viruses like Nimbda and Code Red which resulted in hundred of millions of dollars in damage worldwide.Want to know more about why we choose SUN over Microsoft?

Cookware servers have an "up-time" of over 99.997% (average downtime is 3 hours per year) and are housed at Midwest Internet located in Indianapolis, IN. Our server configurations include:

REDUNDANT POWER

  • Dual electric power grids and multiple backup generators
  • Centralized UPS power protection
  • Superior protection against power surges, spikes and interruptions
NETWORK OPERATIONS & MONITORING
  • Proactive network monitoring
  • 24-hour remote monitoring of Indiana servers from both Indiana and Hawaii (most web hosts only monitor internally and do not always know if users can get in or not. We monitor externally and know instantly if there is a route or server problem.)
REDUNDANT INTERNET CONNECTIVITY
  • DS3 and OC3 links to multiple Internet backbones
  • Redundant building entry points
  • Self-healing network architecture
  • Multi-homed solution for optimal performance
  • Multi-homing via BGP4 for optimal route selection and redundancy
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS
  • HVAC temperature control systems
  • Regulated chilled water temperature
  • Internal climate controlling fans

HOSTING COSTS

Unlike most web hosts, Cookware does not charge for the bandwidth used by your site. Instead, we base our charges solely on the amount of disk space your site takes on our servers.

Additional storage over 10 megabytesadd 75 cents per meg
Secure Server (for credit card orders, etc)add $25

All hosting includes telnet and FTP access to your site as well as email routing and DNS services.

You may notice that our hosting charges are a bit more than most other companies. This is because we don't host just anyone. Your company site will not be compromised by script kiddies, spam merchants or other dubious sites being housed on the same server. This adds another layer of security to protect your company's information, assets and reputation!

If you are interested in hosting your website with Cookware, contact us at (808) 966-5049 (Hawaii) or (765) 485-8055 (Indiana), or click here to send us Email.
