A basic definition of a data center is a location that physically stores a group of servers. One data center will store hundreds or possibly thousands of servers. The requirements for a good data center is its connection through-put of data and the quality of the technicians monitoring the servers.

Nowse Hosting's servers are managed and stored at The Planet Data Center. The Planet is located in Houston Texas, and monitored by highly trained individuals. To date I have not had one outage in the three years that we've been using The Planet. Their technicians have been highly efficient and all maintenance is done without any interuption of service.

Nowse Hosting makes weekly backups of all information stored on our servers. However each week the previous week will be overwritten. If there were a problem that wasn't seen earlier it is possible that the backup would have the problem as well. It's because of this that we request that the domain owner make periodical backups. There is no substitute for having a backup on your personal computer should something go wrong.

Making a backup of your site though cPanel is a quick and painless process, simply locate the correct menu and click, "make back up." Choose either full back up or partial, and click. Your file will be compressed and downloaded to your computer.
