ABOUT
US
We offer a Linux-based Web Hosting solution. Linux is a comprehensive,
stable platform. Linux Web Hosting coupled with Apache is able to
accommodate all of the most requested Web Hosting account options.
Whether
you are running a high volume traffic site that generates a lot of
bandwidth or a small personal website, we offer a solution for you. For
advanced developers who prefer to program in Perl, C and C++ or PHP our
web hosting packages include everything you need. Similarly we are the
perfect solution for individuals who do not know HTML, Scripting or
Programming, because we have a FREE Online WebSite Builder - Site
Studio included in each hosting plan. Site Studio is so easy to use a
child can make their own website in less than 10 minutes. In both cases
we guarantee fast, reliable, secure virtual hosting.
We realize
high speed lines and servers, valuable account options and plentiful
disk storage are only half of the commitment you expect from your web
host. We deliver on the other half of that commitment as well by
providing fast, efficient support with a dedication to quality,
reliable service.
About Our
Data Center (the nitty-gritty details)
» The
Building
We use a data center located on the West
Coast of the USA. The building is a class A, state of the art facility
datacenter which is earthquake proof.
» Redundant
High Bandwidth Connectivity
The West Coast Data Center is located at Fremont,
CA. The network capacity exceeds 2.5 Gigs of Internet connectivity via
DS3, OC3, OC12, and Gigabit Ethernet connections to a wide variety of
peer points and several transit providers. The circuits are terminated
in our data center on carrier class, Cisco Systems 12000 routers.
» Conditioned
power
Power quality in the datacenter is ensured by multiple independent
Liebert UPS systems. Should the utility power fail, the mission
critical electrical loads at the datacenter are provided by the Liebert
UPS systems, which are configured with automatic static bypass and
manually operated full-maintenance bypass circuits. Each UPS module has
its own DC battery bank with sufficient capacity to sustain its
critical bus for periods exceeding 20 minutes without additional power
supply from utility or generator sources.
Standby
generator: The electrical utility service (PG&E) is backed up
via a
stand-by diesel power generator activated by an Onan automatic transfer
switch. The generator is a 750 KW Cummins-Onan, with sufficient on-site
fuel to run continuously for over 24 hours.
» Network
Security
We have 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.
Our
data center, was built from the ground up and is equipped with various
high capacity connections to multiple carriers to ensure uptime and
speed consistency and redundancy.
» Regulated
Climate Control
The data center's HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) system is
N+1 redundant. With full particle filtering and humidity control, the
environment is maintained at a cool 68° F to ensure a
comfortable
environment for our servers.
» The
Network
Network
bandwidth is carefully monitored to ensure that customer utilization
does not exceed online capacity during peak Internet traffic times.
Our
datacenter "Cisco Powered Network" relies on redundant Cisco 12000
series routers and 6500 series switches at its core, and can be made
fully redundant all the way down to the customer server.
Dual
core routers at the top layer connect to a layer-three, switched
backbone. This switching fabric connects to a layer two distribution
switch infrastructure that in turn connects to a bandwidth managing
"Officer". The bandwidth manager controls traffic from multiple layer
two switches mounted on the customer's rack that are connected to
individual servers.
» Uptime
Our operation center is staffed 24 hours per day, 7
days each week by skilled technicians. We are able to offer 99.9%
uptime.
» Server
hardware
The servers we are using are Dual P4/Xeon at least 2.6 GHz with 1.5 or
2 GB memory, SCSI hard drives in RAID and backups. Each server is using
a gigabit network card.
» Standby
Servers
We keep spare servers on-line of all CPU configurations. If a server
were to experience a hardware failure, we would turn a key, grab the
handle on the drive, pull it out, and insert it into an identical
standby CPU. We would then reboot the second machine and the server
would be up and running again in a matter of minutes.
