Answers to Technical Questions:

Do I need my own SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate on my website?

How resilient is your architecture and what failover contingency plans do you have in place?

SecurePayTech.com is utilizing state of the art technology in the infrastructure, and incorporates PHP, mySQL clusters, J2EE, and JBOSS. As uptime is so crucial in a payment gateway, redundancy has been built into the entire process, with multiple application servers, the mySQL cluster, as well as utilizing Digiweb's state of the art data centre and Internet connectivity to ensure maximum uptime. IBM servers have been used for hardware throughout the SecurePayTech.com environment, and any node can be taken out of the cluster, and the service will continue to function normally.
