Our skilled technical support staff has plenty of experience in setting up complex load balancing configurations to allow your websites to grow to their full potential. We begin by evaluating your site and system performance to determine which individual components cause the most load, then we prescribe a solution that operates on two main principles, load division and distribution. In practice we first separate your main components onto individual dedicated servers, then depending on your system performance we load balance any single service over multiple servers to ensure each individual server is operating well below its physical threshold.

The majority of websites running on the Apache Web Server employ .htaccess and mod_rewrite for protecting images and other content against hotlinking. However, there are limitations on the effectiveness of the hotlinking protection when protecting video files, because referrer information is not passed for every access to a video file. Such as saving the files directly to disk. Because of this valid users get denied access to content, the only other alternative is to leave the files unprotected and risk paying exorbitant overage fees should the files be hotlinked. To this end Reality Check Network has developed ConvertVP, an Apache module written in C that allows hotlink protection on movie files without restricting valid users, allowing them to save the files directly to disk, use download managers, or any other method for access.
