Confused or stuck on the requirements?
If your current server or host can't meet the requirements, or you don't want to hassle with figuring things out, consider Cerb4 On-Demand. We'll handle the installation, hardware, upgrades, maintenance, performance tuning, troubleshooting, monitoring, local backups, twice weekly off-site backups to a redundant storage "cloud"; and we'll provide personal support by e-mail, chat, or phone.
