At WeHostMacs, we use the same approach to IT as large enterprise companies. Most virtual hosting companies run all of your services on the same computer, including Web, FTP, MySQL, Email and DNS. They often stuff these over-burdened servers with between 500 and 1,000 or more website accounts.
We do the exact opposite. We break core services in to dedicated servers so each has its specific duty and thus provides better performance and increases uptime. We run a maximum of 250 accounts on any single web server. Our average uptime is in excess of 99.99%
(Note: We do performance leveling on each server to maximize performance for you.)
