Why Central Host?
Multiple Facilities
Central Host operates managed servers at multiple data center locations in two major metropolitan areas: The Silicon Valley & New York. Geographically diverse hosting solutions can be provided across multiple data centers to keep your site up in the event of a large scale failure.
Performance Optimized Network
At each facility we utilize multiple internet transit providers. At present this list includes the following tier-1 carriers:
Our network has a performance optimized blend of over 300,000 routes of paid transit. We examine reachability to internet service providers across the globe and bias our routing to send traffic through the best available path. The result of this is a network infrastructure that provides low latency and high speed content downloads to broadband users world wide.
In addition to our paid transit we employ over 34,000 routes of direct peering. We receive peer routes from a variety of CDN providers such as Limelight & Akamai as well as large Asia Pacific carriers such as Singtel, China Unicom & Bharti Airtel Limited.
Reliable Power
All of our equipment is attached to large scale uninterruptible power sources to maintain system availability during a power disaster. Automatic transfer switches transparently move loads from grid power to diesel generators keeping our network and servers online during power failures. At all times power is fed through a battery based UPS system to ensure continuity during a transfer event as well transient filtering & surge suppression for equipment longevity.
Plan Flexibility
To any of our hosting packages you can deploy dedicated network infrastructure components without signing long term contracts. To our managed hosting dedicated server packages you can add firewalls, load balancers, or additional storage & bandwidth as your business needs develop without a long enterprise sales cycle. Dedicated network infrastructure components can be added to your account in zero downtime fashion & can be integrated into exiting live infrastructure using careful migration techniques.
Out of Band Server Management
All of our managed dedicated servers are attached to a management network allowing access to the device in the event it becomes unreachable from the internet. These systems facilities are exposed to our customers via our billing portal. These out of band services include:
