Network & Security

It’s not out of the ordinary to outgrow your old server—when your business gets bigger, your hosting requirements do too. That’s why Z4 offers private backend server networks to segregate communications, firewalls to keep intruders at bay and load balancers to enable scalable and redundant apps.

Dedicated Backend Network

Our unlimited bandwidth between servers allows you to cross connect servers with Gigabit (1,000 Mbps) network connections. Individual customer VLANS are also available for data and network security. And all this is backed by Z4’s 100% network uptime guarantee.

Server Bandwidth Pooling

Pooling server bandwidth allocations provide an easy method to mitigate bandwidth overages. There’s no limit on the number of servers allowed in your bandwidth pool. Our real–time graphing techniques monitor and manage your bandwidth activity.

SSL Certificates from Z4

Z4 ensures the security of your data by providing SSL certificates.They include true 128/256–bit encryption and a 99% browser recognition rate. To make things easy, we’ve set up an ordering system through z4webhosting so you can get your SSL certificates more quickly.

DNS

Do you speak “tech?” Our DNS system sure does…the DNS, or Domain Name System, is comprised of servers that can translate domain names into IP addresses that your computer can read and understand. After all, “www.yourwebsite.com” is human–speak. DNS zones (a piece of the DNS namespace) define the relationship between a domain name and an IP address. z4webhosting lets you manage your DNS zones if you want to keep tabs on your domains.

IP Blocks

Sometimes, one IP address just isn’t enough. Z4 offers blocks of five usable IP addresses with every server by default. Our strong relationship with the American Registry for Internet Numbers allows us to plan our network capacity and ensure that we always have IP addresses available to meet your expectations.

Domains

What’s in a name? Well…an awful lot actually. That’s why Z4 makes domain name registration and management simple. It starts with z4webhosting’s domain management features. You can view current domains, their expiration dates and whether or not they’re locked.

z4webhosting provides a host of other useful info about domain name management:

Details about the registrant, administrator, billing and technical contacts for a domain
The name and IP address for all name servers registered for a domain
The authorization code associated with a domain (it’s a way to validate the user as the domain owner when transferring a domain)

With z4webhosting, you can buy up to 25 new domain names at once for popular domains such as .com and .net. And if you’ve got an existing domain that you want to use, you can renew the name for up to 10 years. One last thing: you can transfer domains already registered with another registrar.
