Technologies
Security and performance must have the highest priority in today's Internet
application and services. Therefore, we use proven and strong software and
technologies to better serve you. Here is an overview of some core systems.
Unix Toolbox
The Unix Toolbox is a summary of Unix commands useful for typical server setup or advanced users. Unix Toolbox.Apache Web Server
Apache is the market's most popular product, despite competition from well-financed behemoths. The Apache server is robust, stable, and fast. Apache is the true spirit of the Internet serving more than 60% of todays Internet.From the Apache.org website:
The Apache HTTP Server Project is an effort to develop and maintain an open-source HTTP server for modern operating systems including UNIX and Windows NT. The goal of this project is to provide a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards.

PHP Hypertext Preprocessor
From the php.net website:
PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML.
PHP syntax is draws upon C, Java, and Perl, and is easy to learn. The main goal of the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically generated webpages quickly. Currently there are over 10 million domains running PHP.

PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL is feature rich RDBMS database. It is extremely robust and scalable providing high performance, even with gigabytes of data.PostgreSQL is almost completely compliant with SQL92, fully transactional, i.e. complete transactions can be fully rolled back if an error happens, a query optimizer that analyzes your query to choose the most efficient way to execute your query, and the ability to handle databases larger than the file size limitations of your platform.

MySQL
From the MySQL.com website:
The MySQL database server is the world's most popular open source database. Its architecture makes it extremely fast and easy to customize. Extensive reuse of code within the software and a minimalistic approach to producing functionally-rich features has resulted in a database management system unmatched in speed, compactness, stability and ease of deployment.

OpenSSL
From the OpenSSL website:
The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust, commercial-grade, full-featured, and Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as a full-strength general purpose cryptography library.

OpenSSH
From the OpenSSH website:
Many users of telnet, rlogin, ftp, and other such programs might not realize that their password is transmitted across the Internet unencrypted, but it is. OpenSSH encrypts all traffic (including passwords) to effectively eliminate eavesdropping, connection hijacking, and other network-level attacks. Additionally, OpenSSH provides a myriad of secure tunneling capabilities, as well as a variety of authentication methods.
SSH encrypts all your traffic including your passwords when you connect to another machine over the net. SSH also replaces telnet, ftp, rsh, rlogin and rexec. OpenSSH is an excellent and open source implementation of SSH supporting SSH1 and SSH2 protocols and all related tunelling possibilities.
