functional and network resources are consistantly available. Our goal is to provide a stable & reliable Mac platform for
hosting production websites and e-mail. Our intent is to offer a platform more reliable then any PC server solution.

During the first 48 hours that your account is active with us all support inquries are free of charge. This gives us
time to work out any configuration or connectivity problems which may arise.

We will provide you with a login and password to an APC Masterswitch PDU. In the event that your server locks up, You can
use this device to reboot your server directly from the power strip located in our server racks. All of our Mac Mini servers
