Welcome to Warp Speed Hosting!
The Internet's newest and best connected place to host your site!Warp Speed Hosting is a high-performance web hosting service
connected to the same network that powers most of the largest sites on the Internet.
Until recently, web hosting of this caliber was out of the reach of small to medium
business... until now!
Finally! The best
connectivity on the planet for web hosting is available at fantastic prices! Warp Speed Hosting’s servers are located at the
same facility that the largest Internet sites in the world are at. The following sites are
simply a small example of some of the sites that are at our facility (Exodus
Communications): hotmail.com, ebay.com, onsale.com, tripod.com, and lycos.com. Yahoo.com
had recently announced intentions to move their servers to Exodus’s co-location
facility too.
"What’s the big deal?" you
might ask.
It is a misconception that many web hosting companies who advertise that they have plenty
of bandwidth such as "multiple OC3's" or "T3’s"
should be plenty for most "low-end" needs. The difference between Warp Speed Hosting and the "others" is in
the diversity of connectivity and not just the amount of bandwidth that a provider
claims is available. Warp Speed Hosting
makes use of a centralized bandwidth model of over 150 T3’s (OC3’s) to different
Internet backbones! Click here to see a map of our private
backbone.
Consider the following general false misconceptions about web hosting along with the
correct answers to these statements:
Statement: If I view a web site at a provider and it comes up fast then my site
will come up close to as fast to people who view my site if hosted at that provider at the
moment that I tested the service (assuming that the end user has the same sort of
connection to the Internet that I do such as a 56K modem).
Answer: Incorrect, if a web site comes up fast then it simply comes up fast for
you at that time. It could be unreachable or extremely slow for 99% of other Internet
users who browse that site at that very exact moment.
Statement: If the web hosting provider claims they have multiple T3 (or
OC3’s) and that they keep their utilization below 50% of capacity then my site has to
load quick to end users on the Internet because most end users only have a 56K modem thus
the "bottle neck" is at the end user and not at the provider.
Answer: Incorrect, a provider can have unlimited bandwidth to one, two, or three
Internet backbones and could simply perform extremely well within those backbones while
90% of other Internet end users who’s Internet service providers make use of other
underlying backbones could find your site unreachable or extremely slow.
These are some of the reasons that the largest sites locate their web servers at the
same data center (Exodus Communications) as Warp Speed
Hosting. The "Big Boys" simply cannot afford to
be unreachable to anyone on the Internet and they are willing to pay almost any price to
ensure that they are reachable in the quickest manner. For the first time, this service is
now available through Warp Speed Hosting
for the average web site.
Here are some questions that
you should ask yourself when choosing the web hosting provider that is right for you:
Question: I have made my web site as efficient as possible. Where should I host
it?
Answer: Host your web site with Warp Speed
Hosting (or any provider than can maintain quality web hosting
servers while at the same time providing centralized T3’s (OC3) to over 150 different
Internet backbones) or buy yourself a fancy server and co-locate the machine at Exodus
Communications for thousands of dollars per month while maintaining the machine yourself.
Question: Why is Warp Speed Hosting
(or locating your server at Exodus) so much better?
Answer: Due to our diverse immense connectivity, we are able to (in close
to all cases) deliver your web site to the end user over the exact backbone that they
requested your web site from, thereby cutting the number of "hops" in half (in
close to all cases) and eliminating close to all of the "bottlenecks" on the end
of the web hosting provider. In short, your site will load far faster to any end user than
it would at "other" web hosting providers and be reachable to close to all
Internet users since we have direct connections to almost all of the Internet backbones.
Question: How can I properly evaluate a web hosting provider so that I know that
my site will come up as quickly as possible (or be reachable) to 99+% of all Internet
users.
Answer: You can travel across the country (or the world) and buy different
Internet dial up accounts making use of the same computer. You would then record the
average times that it takes you to view the same page of your web site (or record if it is
even reachable). Or, instead of doing all of this work, you could research the facility
that your site is hosted at and choose your provider based on rational Internet facts such
as those above. Your decision will be to host with Warp
Speed Hosting or locate and maintain your own server at Exodus
Communications.
