Hosting

"The more code you have running, the greater chance someone will find an exploit."
- old programming maxim

Nucom is not your typical hosting company. Most hosting companies try to impress you with how many features they have, how many languages they support and how easy it is to set up an account. We're going to impress you with everything we don't do.

We don't do ASP, JSP, PHP or any language besides ColdFusion. In fact, we don't even do general ColdFusion hosting. Why? Because there's always a chance that the code on someone else's website will bring down the server or infect your website. We know CFWebstore, what services it requires and how it operates on the server. We can turn off a lot of stuff on the server because we know CFWebstore doesn't use it. Otherwise, it's just one more way for a hacker to get into the server.

Still Developer-Friendly
CFWebstore is built for developers and Nucom Web Hosting was created by developers. We don't put limits on your webstore, we simply ensure a safe place to operate. Find out more About Us »

 

Need help moving?

We can help you move your webstore from your current host. Send us the DNS, FTP and SQL logins and we'll transfer the site for you and make sure it's running right.

No Access Databases
Lots of people use Access databases because they're cheap and easy to work with. We don't allow them because they're slow, suck a lot of server resources and are actually harder to update on a live site. We can upgrade your database to a MS SQL database so you can take advantage of the speed of the MSSQL 2005 server.

 

Security

VPN - We've added a second layer of security to prevent intrusion. By using a VPN (virtual private network), it's almost impossible for a hacker to spoof a RDC or FTP login. It's an extra step for developers who have to log in but most people update their websites through their websites. Only when you're making design changes do you use FTP.

Application firewall - Our application firewall looks at every URL and form submission for suspicious code. This is the main avenue for code and SQL injection attacks.

Hardware firewall - We've decided to block all IPs from China, South Korea and North Korea. 70%-80% of all spam and hacker attacks come from those countries. If you do business outside of North America, please consult us for a full list of blocked countries.

Security practices - A regular shared webserver runs all sorts of code - ASP, JSP, PHP and ColdFusion application. An attack on any of those websites could bring down the server. We only do ColdFusion and only CFWebstore.

PCI compliant - Banks are now looking at the websites of their clients to make sure credit card numbers are properly secured and transmitted. Our servers have been tested - and passed - PCI compliance tests. There may be reasons an individual website may fail but stock installation of CFWebstore 6.43 and above should be PCI compliant right from the start.

 

Datacenter

Our Louisville datacenter features Gigabit Ethernet connections to ensure the servers powering your solution remain online and accessible. Physically separate conduits channel multiple Tier 1 connectivity providers into the datacenter facility to our multi-homed network. A redundant routing architecture, including hardware failover and Cisco HSRP (Hot Spare Router Protocol), is the basis of our 100% Network Uptime Guarantee.

Environment
Servers need a balance of the right temperature and humidity to run properly. Our datacenter is equipped with an environmental control system complete with air handlers, condensing units, and raised flooring to promote proper air flow and temperature. In addition, FM-200 gas fire suppression is in place to protect the entire facility from fire damage without costly water damage from a sprinkler system discharge.

Power
Our power systems operate seamlessly to provide constant power to maintain 100% uptime. New server solutions are deployed in our facility featuring fully N+1 redundant systems, a UPS (uninterruptible power supply), battery backups and diesel generators. All of our power systems are fully maintained by vendors with factory-certified technicians to ensure an instantaneous failover in the event of a power outage.

Onsite security
We uphold our security measures to rigorous standards. Proximity card entry, camera-recorded server room access and a perimeter security system all protect our main and datacenter facilities. These security components ensure only our certified Server Engineers have direct access to the datacenter and individual servers. This restricted access ensures maximum security when maintaining, upgrading and troubleshooting servers right in the racks.
