We provide hosting services on flexible and widely configurable platforms based on specific customer needs.

The following is a partial list of the main features of the hosting services we provide:

• Hosting on Linux or Windows
• HTTPS / SSL support
• Firewall
• Daily backup
• PostgreSQL , MySQL, Microsoft SQL , Oracle database support
• Wordpress/Joomla/Drupal support
• Access to advanced statistics
• POP3, IMAP and WEBMAIL e-mail consultation
• Creation and management of mailing lists
• Antivirus/anti-spam protection for e-mail in real time
• Authenticated SMTP service
• BES - Blackberry Enterprise Server

All hosting solutions include personalised technical assistance and continuous support via phone/e- mail (including direct contact with technicians without the aid of systems/automatic filters ) .

In response to specific customer needs in terms of resource requirements, volumes, and scalability, we design and supply IAAS (Infrastructure as a Service) mode infrastructures in a AWS Amazon Web Services environment (you can obtain more technical information on http://aws.amazon.com/what-is-aws/).

These "in the cloud" solutions, which are not tied to specific hardware, ensure the widest possible scalability, the possibility of using potentially unlimited resources (computing power, disk space and bandwidth), and certain and transparent costs based on a "pay per use" logic (so that the company does not have to purchase costly and complex infrastructures).

Furthermore, customers who use the private cloud and data sharing in cloud housing/hosting services, which combine the ease of use of the most commonly available products (e.g. Dropbox, Google Drive, Skydrive etc.) and corporate data privacy (in regard to data that is physically located on a server owned by the customer, located in Italy, and subject to the local data protection laws), are provided with the management and security required of a professional and corporate service, as well as integration with existing architecture and flexibility.

We have developed specific expertise in supporting academic and industrial research and provide consultancy services in regard to the design, implementation and management of distributed computing infrastructures necessary for the processing of large volumes of data that require a high level of performance, reliability, security and scalability.

We share multiple hardware resources in a coordinated manner (located at our data centre, in the offices of customers, research centres etc.). It is possible to combine their computing power to solve complex, data-intensive and critical tasks, in accordance with short and certain deadlines, without necessarily having to purchase expensive dedicated infrastructure.

Using the most advanced open-source platforms based on grid computing development, you can schedule tasks, manage complex hierarchical queues, dynamically allocate hardware resources, and develop statistics on processes.

In regard to particularly critical services, we design and implement solutions that provide high reliability in cluster redundancy of equipment:

• Fail-over clusters that allow continuity in the provision of a service even in the event of a host failure.
• Load balancing clusters for balancing specific service loads, distributing requests to individual machines that make up the cluster. This ensures an optimal use of resources, scalability (it is possible to add new servers to the infrastructure) and reliability (fault tolerance: a fault on a server does not affect service delivery). 

We have been accredited for the years 2000 (the year Sinapto was founded) to 2010 by the Italian Domain Names Register as a Maintainer (SINAPTO - MNT); since 1 January 2011 we have been recognised as a Registrar with the tag SINAPTO-REG.
We use 3 main high reliability DNS servers (authoritative).

We also act as the sole interlocutor for the advanced management of customer domains:

• Analysis of the domains online to check the security level of your brand/business
• Outsourcing of the entire domain name registration, renewal, transfer and retention processes in order to relieve customers of needing costly in-house skills that they would otherwise need to acquire
• Coverage of the domain name at all levels, both for type extensions "territorial" (.it, .de, .eu, .cn, .hk, etc.) and for industry specific extensions (.com, .biz, .net, .info, etc.).
• Monitoring and surveillance of speculative and fraudulent activities (cybersquatting) which are detrimental to customer brandnames
• Re-appropriation of domains through interventions of an administrative, legal or commercial (auctions) nature.

We have a dedicated Direct Email Marketing (DEM) infrastructure which allows us to carry out professional e-mail marketing campaigns, in compliance with the law on the protection of personal data, aimed at relevant customer targets (customers, suppliers, users, etc.).

Our DEM services involve:

• Profiling of target customers, the definition of database users (also through an interchange with customers’ CRM and Business Intelligence systems) and campaign planning
• The creation of messages, including both design and copywriting, consistent with the image of customers (possible integrations with enterprise content management systems)
• Advanced management of user databases (normalization, cleaning, updating)
• Monitoring and advanced reporting for real time verification of campaign performance and return on investment (delivery, reception, openings, clicks, bounces, registration/subscription/unsubscription, georeferencing)

We are able to host applications for use in ASP mode through our data centre. The software is not installed on a PC or server at the customer’s site, but instead resides on a server that the latter can connect to through the internet browser (or other common remote access software).

The ASP is safe, fast and adaptable to the user's individual needs.
It allows the customer to use an application without having to carry out the relevant costly infrastructure and hardware maintenance services: the cost for using the service is in fact transparent and all-inclusive.
The ASP is also a method for providing application services with a wide-range of security processes, since it is backed up by the resources of a professional data centre (regular backups, redundant systems, professional type internet band, fire protection devices, intrusion detection systems, air conditioning systems, etc.).

Our data centres provide audio/video streaming services over the Internet, both in "live streaming" (real time) and "streaming on demand" mode using state-of-the-art technologies (Flash Media Server, Windows Media Server, Shoutcast , FullHD H.264 support, aacPlus support, etc.).

The services provided include:

• The planning of events and the content of the service (A/V stream quality, number of users, bandwidth, traffic, storage space etc.).
• The encoding of the stream
• The publication of the flow on the streaming server
• The configuration and customisation of the schedule’s dynamic management
• The development of the code necessary to integrate the flow in the customer's sites
• Ability to integrate advertising systems within or overlapping the flow
• The full smartphone and tablet compatibility (iOS, Android, Windows Mobile)
