The Wine Country Web Hosting server is located with RackSpace, the top of the line managed hosting service.  The computers we use are brand new Dell PowerEdge enterprise level RAID Array machines.  We monitor the performance of the machines 24-7, and do daily tape backup.  Most web hosting services guarantee 99% uptime, which sounds great, but 1% of a month's worth of time is actually 7 hours you can be down (and if the chat forums are any indication, often are).  We don't make any promise of uptime, but in 8 years we have only been down an occasional few minutes while doing a re-boot after upgrades, and those we schedule for the middle of the night.
