ServerPronto, a dedicated hosting subsidiary of Infolink, today announced that it has covered its customers with a new option, the gigabit port.

At 1,000 Mbps, ServerPronto allows customers to absorb a malicious attack or massive intended traffic spikes without affecting mission-critical applications, claims the company. The gigabit port option is available to customers for a fee of $65 a month. Beyond multiple port options and affordability, ServerPronto also offers other customizable features such as Linux options, power, server-grade parts and a 99.999 percent uptime guarantee.

"ServerPronto's dedicated servers come with a standard 100 Mbps connection, which is 50 times greater than the connections found in most offices," said Chris Kurzweg, Chief Operating Officer of ServerPronto. "But many of our customers tell us they need more. So we've added a gibabit port option on all of our packages. We know that distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks could come in at 100 Mbps and completely disable most dedicated servers."
