Before setting up the Megafactory™ service we offer consultation to ensure we provide each customer with a server that meets their needs. Once the service is up and running we provide ongoing operational support and troubleshooting.

2. High Security
We provide the latest security to protect against the increasing threat of unauthorized access to web servers, mail servers, database servers, and applications.

3. Select Specifications
Because a dedicated server service offers exclusive use of a server, there are no usage restrictions and the customer is free to customize their server. Customers may use cumbersome programs, operate multiple domains or install software as they like.

HOSTING & SECURITY, INC.
HOSTING & SECURITY was established in 2006 as the result of a merger between the hosting service businesses of predecessors MegaFactory and WebKeepers.
