Our Network is fully redundant, uses redundant fiber entry points and connects only with Tier I upstream providers such as AT&T, Savvis, Sprint and MCI. We guarantee 99.99% uptime and will provide you credit for any network downtime experienced as per our SLA.

 

Redundant High Bandwidth Connectivity
Multiple OC-48 uplinks on diverse routes connect us to the world-class network with fully redundant power and network systems. Thus, ensuring the highest degree of security against network downtime and the fastest possible data transfers.

Bandwidth Utilization
It is a common misconception that the amounts of bandwidth (size of the pipes that carry the data) differentiate web hosting companies. In reality it is not only the size of the pipes that matters, it is the utilization levels. The utilization of our Internet connections is vital to a network's ability to transfer data without packet loss or latency. We aim to keep all connection usage below 50% to avoid any connectivity problems.

Dynamic Routing
My Web Hosting Provider runs the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP4) for best case routing. The BGP4 protocol is a standard that allows for the routing of packets of information sent out from our network. Each packet of information is evaluated and sent over the best route possible. Because of our redundant network architecture, packets may be sent via alternative routes even if they are being delivered to the same end user. Should one of our providers fail, packets leaving our network are automatically redirected through another route via a different provider.

Network Security
Our network is a fully switched network. Traffic destined for a website hosted on a server is sent only through switching equipment necessary to deliver the information to that server. This minimizes the risk of someone sniffing or capturing traffic being sent across the network.
