1 GiG Web Hosting is a American company with headquarters in Fort Wayne, Indiana All of our servers are hosted in a premium data center just outside Denver CO.
There is plenty of competition for cheap low cost hosting services. We instead took the route of quality. This does result in higher costs but the payback comes in network uptime, Lower server loads, and overall better customer satisfaction. Our servers rarely run at over 2% load. During late night hours (during daily backups) load may go to 3%.
Connectivity
Currently there is a full 2000 mbps (2GiG-E connections) supplying our Data Center. In OC fiber line terms that’s close to 3- OC-12 lines and 1- OC-3 line.
The use of non-blocking gigabit devices throughout the network ensures regional latency of a few milliseconds or less, suitable for the most demanding delay-sensitive traffic. Use of redundant fiber rings ensures network reliability and availability.
The data center has connections to many different Internet backbones including Level3, Genuity, Time Warner and Yipes. By connecting to multiple tier 1 backbones, the data can be distributed through many sources. This architectural design also means that the network connections are not dependent upon an single Internet backbone. Thus when problems occur, traffic rerouting is automatic, thereby ensuring the integrity of the network and continued access for our high-speed servers.
This takes the term “multi-homing” to a whole new level. Presently bandwidth utilization is 5% during peak traffic times. Therefore, the network is very flexible. If one of the backbone connections experiences problems, the traffic can simply be rerouted over other paths, thereby ensuring that users receive fast access times to sites hosted on our network.
In addition, the network runs Border Gate Protocol (BGP4). BGP is used at a provider with more than one access point to the Internet. It helps create a truly redundant network. In fact, in an ideal situation, a lease line failure should result in the BGP routing session to close on the bad leased line and the router on a working circuit should then begin to accept the additional traffic. In other words, traffic from a down circuit is redistributed across other circuits, thereby maintaining network integrity. Providers that are multi-homed and correctly setup can actually be more reliable than a single backbone provider because they have multiple paths to multiple providers.
