Web Hosting Service Infrastructure
Big Bandwidth ©
Do you really know how much total bandwidth your hosting provider
has? Why is this important?
You want, no, you demand not only
plenty of bandwidth, but quality bandwidth. You’ve told us you
want to make sure there are redundant network connections with
lots and lots of bandwidth. You’re looking for Big Bandwidth
from your hosting provider.
We heard you. We had the same demands too.
The B.A. Port hosting data center is connected to the Internet
via 7 major backbone providers feeding over 4 Gigabits per second
of Big Bandwidth into our network.
We have a superior network inside our facilities also. We utilize
Cisco and Foundry network equipment and software to provide
ultra fast switching services between carriers.
The partnership with our sole provider, who has been providing
server co-location and connectivity from Phoenix, Arizona since
1995, ensures your web site has access to the connectivity of

It includes both Class A and Class B services, physically protected
with security guards, security alarms, and video cameras. Power
is through conditioned UPS lines. State of the art air conditioning

Server Infrastructure
Today's computers are quite powerful. While it is possible to
run the various services an ISP provides, (Domain Name Service,
Authentication, Web Hosting, Network Management, Email reception/delivery,
etc.) on one or a few servers, we have invested in multiple,
dual Intel Pentium III (and single Pentium 4) processor machines,
with gigabytes of ram, Ultra 160 SCSI interfaces, multiple 100
megabit Ethernet cards, all running on a full switched 1000/100
megabit Cisco, Foundry and HP Ethernet infrastructure.
We run IBM brand servers using Red Hat Linux for our dedicated
and shared hosting service. We are one of the few web site hosting
providers who can provide you unlimited bandwidth, storage and
the hosting service and dedicated service and support.
We are committed to scaling this infrastructure as utilization
increases and ensuring redundancy in all of our services.
We run Linux on our main machines.
All of our services, network connections, and servers are fully
monitored with state of the art network monitoring software
and systems so we will know before you when a problem arises,
and typically fix it before you notice.
24/7 On-Site Support
We have round the clock, 24x7 onsite support monitors, utilities
and personnel to look over your servers.
