OUR NETWORK AND DATA CENTER
|
We are proud of our high speed connection. In fact, one of our most frequent compliments
from our customers is how fast their site loads... read on and you will see why.
When you combine high speed connectivity and high quality equipment, you get a fast
and reliable web site. We have invested in the equipment and staff so you can rest
assured that your site will load fast every time.
We host sites all over the world, and with our multiple backbone connections, your
customers will get through to your site fast. Read more about the network below.
WebHostForASP.NET currently owns and operates two state of the art data centers
in Dallas, Texas, offering complete redundancy in power, HVAC, fire suppression,
network connectivity, and security. With over 53,000 sq ft of raised floor between
the two facilities, WebHostForASP.NET has an offering to fit any need.
The datacenter facility sits atop multiple power grids driven by TXU electric, with
PowerWare UPS battery backup power and dual diesel generators onsite. Our HVAC systems
are condenser units by Data Aire to provide redundancy in cooling coupled with nine
managed backbone providers. Twelve more third party backbone providers are available
in the building via cross connect. Fire suppression includes a pre-action dry pipe
system including VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) with over 700 smoke
detectors between the two facilities.

World Class Data Center
|
|
Nine Premium Carriers,13 Gbps Available Bandwidth, to ensure that we can achieve
99,9% Network Uptime Guarantee.
|
Regulated Climate Control
|
|
The data centers' HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) systems are N+1 redundant.
With full particle filtering and humidity control, the environment are maintained
at a cool 68 degrees to ensure a comfortable environment for your server.
|
|
Power Systems
|
|
WebHostForASP.NET is not reliant upon the local power grid to guarantee maximum
uptime. Our on-site, auto-switched power generator, and centralized UPS systems
provide power conditioning and ensure uninterrupted data center operation. Additionally,
the generators are regularly tested to ensure that it will continue to function
in the event of an emergency.
|
Datacenter Security
|
|
Our data centers are physically isolated from everyone but level three technicians.
Public access is strictly forbidden. Access to the floor the datacenter resides
on is restricted and completely locked down.
|
Cisco Powered Network
|
|
Every WebHostForASP.NET server is connected to a Cisco Powered Network. Using enterprise-class
Cisco networking gear, all routers, switches are tested in our testing center prior
to deployment to ensure reliability and interoperability.
|
Redundant High Bandwidth Connectivity
|
|
Using multiple Tier 1 Service Providers, WebHostForASP.NET leads the discount Web
hosting industry with our 99.9% uptime guarantee, 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. WebHostForASP.NET aims to keep all connection usage below
50% to avoid any connectivity problems.
|
Dynamic Routing
|
|
WebHostForASP.NET 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
|
|
WebHostForASP.NET 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. Furthermore, WebHostForASP.NET vigorously
prosecutes persons who generate malicious attacks on our internal network.
|
Network Infrastructure
|
|
Our network architecture utilizes the Enterprise routing and switching engines from
Juniper and Cisco. We utilize Juniper M20 routers as border routers, Cisco 6500
series switches in our distribution layer and Cisco 6500 switches in our aggregation
layers, and Cisco 3500 and 2900 series switches at the customer layer. Our network
is fully meshed and redundant with 9 backbone providers.
