We have a load balanced cluster of Linux based apache web servers. This allows us to add or remove a web server with minimal interruption to users. Our database is maintained on a separate service within amazon, and caching minimises load strain on the servers as demand increases. This configuration allow us to add additional computers during times of high demand. Additional benefits include higher security and lower impact of denial of service attacks.

We store backups of all customer data as per our guidelines. Recovery is possible when necessary, there are costs for this, and considerations of how much data you need, what past date & time you wish to recover the data to and how you want access to the data. Recovery of data can be done it three ways: Individual data fields and their values - recovered for manual re-entry; You tell us the date & time of data and the field page and label (even better get the fieldId found in the HTML) we will email you the content.
