Currently (June 2020 and beyond), RidgeStar
operates multiple Intel based Servers connected directly to the Internet
(you may hear us occasionally reference them as NET1, NET2, NET3, etc.). For example, you are currently connected to the Site
operating as www.ridgestar.com, on the physical Server
we call net2.
These Servers are dedicated to servicing RidgeStar Client sites, providing Internet Services and, of course, backing each other up in the event of some unforeseen difficulty.
We currently operate the following software on our Web Servers and we offer our sincere thanks to the Open Source community for their efforts:
- LAMP Stack

- Email services

RidgeStar operates as the primary DNS (Domain Name Service) for almost all of the domains we are responsible for. They are known as dns1.ridgestar.com, dns2.ridgestar., and dns3.ridgestar.com
Development occurs on machines operating the current release of Fedora Workstation
(an Open Source project):
- Fedora
machines with Geany
for script coding and maintenance. GIMP
, InkScape
and a variety of other open source programs are used for graphics production.
