How does The Farm work?
Getting Started
In under 15 minutes you can have a site running on The Farm. Through the Control Panel set-up and configure a Farm Pool which consists of one or more front-end servers.
Using the deployment wizard, build out the database, upload the web application, upload SSL certificate and set-up CDN (Content Delivery Network), if applicable.
Farm Pool set-up and configuration, site deployment and on-going management can also be done through our API.

Built-in Redundancy
The Farm has been architected for high performance and minimal downtime. With multiple servers handling each task, redundancy is built-in and your sites never have to queue up for the resources of a single server.
Scaling Happens Automatically
As traffic to your site increases, whether gradually or suddenly, The Farm can handle it using our built-in Auto Scale functionality.
Back-ups and Disaster Recovery
The Farm is backed up daily with back-ups being retained on-site as well as in a secondary Data Center at least 700 miles away for disaster recovery.
The Control Panel
The Control Panel is Tier 3's custom built, easy-to-use hosting and account management center. It is your central source for managing Farm Pools, support requests, billing information and more.
