FlamesBurn.com went online on January 1st 2002. The idea was pretty simple, give the independent community the reliable hosting they need, at a price they can afford. While most major hosts were busy chasing the thousand dollar accounts around, the independent community was forced to accept a watered down hosting solution they could still barely afford. After years of accepting less than you wanted, let it burn.

This is generally where the geeky part of the speech comes in. Our servers are running 2.4GHz Celeron chips. The linux systems are setup for cgi, php, perl and MYSQL. All servers also include a full featured CPanel control panel, giving the user the power to add pre built cgi and php scripts which include shopping carts and guestbooks, add and remove pop3 email accounts, as well as check email via a webmail control panel.

Our Network Operation Center (NOC) features high level security, raised flooring, climate-control, UPS power supply, fire suppression systems as well as multiple redundant connections to major backbones such as UUNET, Level3, Sprint, Time Warner, Global Crossing, AT&T and Verio. Each NOC is also equipped with backup batteries and diesel generators, Cisco routers and switches; and is staffed 24x7 by qualified system administrators and engineers. All servers are secured in a state of the art Smart POP; monitored by both on hand technicians, IP cameras and door security via Hand geometry reader; OC3C connections are physically diverse and Sonet protected; dual power feeds backed up with UPS, Rectifiers, Batteries and Generator to ensure our customers have near zero down time. Bottom line, your data is safe.

The internet is made up of a network of computers connected in a way that enable each other to communicate over a vast expanse that would otherwise be impossible. Much like the idea of this network FlamesBurn.com has enlisted the aid of a few select organizations that we feel represent the values we stand for as an independent company. If you think your organization has something to bring to the table, please contact partners@flamesburn.com.
