Website Hosting: About Our Servers
As a valued LeadWebHosting client you will enjoy all the benefits of our state-of-the-art data center located in Fremont, California, which is a class A earthquake proof facility. It is owned by the well known US company Peer1 (formerly HostCentric), and is equipped with various high capacity connections to multiple carriers to ensure uptime, speed consistency and redundancy.
Internet Connection
Our network architecture utilizes 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, Cisco 6500 switches in our aggregation layers, and Cisco 3500 and 2900 series switches in the customer layer. Our network is fully meshed and redundant with 9 backbone providers.
Routers
The data center “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 servers.
Peer Points
As a Tier 1 ISP, the owner of the data center where our servers are co-located, has established extensive public and private peering relationships. Peer points currently include the Pacific Bell NAP and the Palo Alto Internet Exchange. BGP4 is used for optimal route selection and automatic fail over.
Network Operation Center (NOC)
The operation center is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by skilled technicians. Industry-leading service level agreements highlight company guarantees of 100% network uptime.
Maximum Performance
LeadWebHosting.com always aims at providing its clients with the best hardware equipment available. Our servers are optimized for maximum performance and minimum server load. After several years of developing and testing different hardware configurations, we have managed to find the ideal balance between the Linux operating system and our web hosting software. All necessary applications and libraries, such as MySQL, PHP, Perl etc., have been installed, as well. We test every new version of a given software before updating it on our servers, which guarantees the full stability and reliability of our servers’ performance.
