Web Hosting Services ...
Welcome to ArtHostWest.net from AgenCteK. Our Servers are located in Chicago, Illinois at the foremost Network Data Center in the world. Our servers are peered on the major Internet Communications Backbones worldwide.
Very simply put, "we take web hosting very seriously."
By connecting to multiple backbones, our data can be distributed through many sources. This architectural design also means that we are not dependent upon any single Internet backbone. Thus when problems occur, we are able to reroute traffic automatically, thereby ensuring the integrity of our network and continued access for our high-speed dedicated server clients. We have taken the term "multi-homing" to a whole new level.
Furthermore, by routing traffic mainly across large Internet backbones instead of sending data through meet points (commonly referred to as NAPs), the data traffic from our network avoids these centers of high congestion. In effect, we have created a small-scale NAP by accessing large Internet backbones through private peering arrangements.
In addition, we run 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 re-distributed across other circuits, thereby maintaining network integrity. Providers that are multi-h
omed and correctly setup can actually be more reliable than a single backbone provider because they have multiple paths to multiple.Our Premium Network ...
