The advantage of our servers is that we have complete control over them. Thus, we can install and create custom software for the server and allow for more customizations.

This makes your website more secure and doesn't leave you wondering what other questionable companies or illegal websites are located right next to yours.

Programming

The Village of Darkness uses cutting edge Microsoft solutions for their Database platforms. The Front end of our Database systems are Microsoft ASP.NET models with AJAX for expanded pull down menu selections. In addition, the Back end of our databases are designed in Microsoft SQL Server 2005/2008, which can handle hundreds of users. This platform also allows for remote users, and access to the database from any company office, satellite or even home location depending on your security preferences of your company.

- Online report exporting will allow the user to export into things such as Excel, PDF and CSV, which are all supported by SQL Reporting. The user of each report will have the options to print locally or export into any of these formats.


- All of our databases that we design will have a powerful importing and exporting capabilities since the backend will be Microsoft SQL. SQL allows for importing functionality from everything ranging from other SQL databases, Oracle, Microsoft Access, Excel, Comma Delimited Format, Tab Delimited Format, and ODBC Databases. In addition, SQL tables allow for all the exporting of those formats as well.


- The databases we design also do internal data exports. In case of database failure, the transaction log will be first backed up and for recovery the most recent database will be restored followed by all transaction logs since then and finally the last log with recovery option. WAL protocol (Write Ahead Logging) ensures that changes are written to a stable medium before changes are made to the database, so that in case of even abrupt system failure the database can be rolled forward to a stable state
