Masscot Web Hosting
With technology changing rapidly on the web Masscot strives to ahead of the curve. In 2018, Masscot acquired the new DELL/EMC Raid 10 Servers. These servers have multiple hard drives, and maintain separate mirrored copies of each website on two independent drives. If one copy of your site is down the other automatically takes over. If your website loads are particularly heavy, the server can automatically draw website data from both copies to maintain faster response times.
In March 2019, we purchased and installed a new technology called LiteSpeed on our servers. LiteSpeed Technology optimizes our servers and WordPress websites making the server function more efficiently and WordPress websites run up to 5 times faster than ever before. LiteSpeed is included free with our hosting. Call us today at 508-778-4500 for more information about how we can make your website run faster and more reliably than ever before.
Masscot Internet’s high end Linux based servers are maintained around the clock, replaced and upgraded regularly as needed. Our servers are maintained by our own contracted engineering staff, backed up by our data center system administrators who lead a highly trained staff of engineers and technicians on-site.

Our data center provider created a facility designed to accommodate clients demanding the highest quality performance. The network was built with a central focus on redundancy. The data center’s redundancy is multi-tiered with N+1 internal device elements and entirely redundant chassis.
