Linux Web Site Hosting Provider Network Infrastructure

Web Hosting Network 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 multiple telecom vendor lines and backbones including:

GigE to Level3 Communications (1000 MBPS)
GigE to Level3 Communications (1000MBPS)
OC-3 to Qwest Communications (155 MBPS)
OC-12 to AT&T Communications (622MBPS)
OC-12 to Sprint Communications (622MBPS)
OC-12 to Alternet (622MBPS)
OC-12 to Global Crossing (622MBPS)

Web Hosting Facilities

Our building offers ten fiber carriers, all of which are available in our co-location facilities. The list includes the above firms in addition to AT&T, Time Warner Telecom, Electric Lightwave, Inc. and WorldCom.

Our facility would satisfy the ultimate corporate security expert. 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 and fire suppression equipment complete the protection of the facilities.

Web Hosting 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 IBM 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 are committed to scaling this infrastructure as utilization increases and ensuring redundancy in all of our services.

We run Linux on our main web site hosting machines.

All of our web site hosting services, network connections, and dedicated hosting 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.
