The primary force behind RSH Web Services is our
dedication to cutting edge technology. We're committed to continually
improving our services by developing and acquiring tools and technologies that
help our customers access, maintain, and interact with their virtual servers
with power and ease.
Technology
Information
The virtual server system was created by "multiplexing" or
partitioning the root physical server into many independent virtual servers.
Only the physical hardware is controlled and maintained by us. All of the
software- web, ftp, and pop services, as well as the SMTP gateway is
completely independent, affording you complete flexibility, control, and power
over how your internet services behave. This gives you the ability to
configure and customize your own virtual server.

Server Hardware
Our physical servers are Intel Pentium II 400MHz computers with up to 256 MB
of SDRAM and 9GB Ultra Wide SCSI hard drives. They are connected with a 10/100
ethernet connection and mounted in lock-down dual-fan racks. For more
information on our connectivity and infrastructure.
Operating System
All new servers are built up on an internally modified version of BSDI UNIX
4.01. We have modified the operating system and many core components to
support a fully virtual environment.
Server Software
Our current server software is based on an internally modified version of the
Apache Web Server 1.3.1. This system includes SSL 1.1.5 and PHP 4.0 (ZEND). We
also run fully virtualized versions of SMTP, IMAP, POP3, and FTP Services.
Unique Software
Features
We have a complete and unique set of command-line server administration tools
that allow our users to configure options on their servers with ease from the
command prompt. These tools make adding, listing, removing, and editing user
accounts simple and intuitive. We have also introduced our exclusive new
Virtual Administrator Web tool - a Java-based interface to our custom command
line tools that allow users to configure their virtual servers entirely from a
Web browser.
FTP Server
Anonymous FTP, Multi-user FTP with file system quotas, "directory"
messages, "welcome" messages, anti-warez features, and user secure
directories.
POP Server
Create unlimited POP3 e-mail accounts
IMAP Server
Create unlimited IMAP e-mail accounts
SMTP Gateway
Each Virtual Server comes with its own sendmail.cf and aliases file. Full
support for autoreplies and mail lists. Anti-Spam features included.
Security Hardened
All known security patches are applied as soon as they are released (or even
before they are released) by OS vendor.
Insecure Programs
Potentially insecure (suid) programs are removed or disabled if not needed on
system. Necessary potentially insecure programs are compiled with runtime,
bounds checking are reviewed for security problems.
Hacking Alert System
Custom Hacking Alert System (HAS) which immediately pages systems
administrators.
