    Network Overview

    Muliple Tier 1 Networks

    Connectivity
    Your website is hosted on servers connected to the Internet through multiple redundant connections provided by some of the largest backbone providers in the world - MCI, SBC, Level 3, and Global Crossing - ensuring data delivery to the end user in the fastest, most efficient manner possible. closedShopHosting.com guarantees a 99.9% uptime by utilizing redundant connections and Network Operation Centers (NOCs) in both Connecticut and Chicago.

    Bandwidth
    closedShopHosting.com has multiple connections to the backbone of the Internet, and enough bandwidth to accommodate even the largest surges in web traffic. Because we maintain a lower-than average capacity, and closedShopHosting.com's bandwidth utilization is continuously monitored, we are able to keep our customers' websites running efficiently even during the Internet's busiest periods. Each datacenter utilizes multiple 155 Mbit OC3 and 45 Mbit DS3 bandwidth connections.

    Monitoring
    Both data centers are monitored 24/7 by highly qualified network administrators. The HTTP port is monitored while Ping tests are conducted every 5 minutes to verify that the servers are active. In the event that a port is unreachable, an email is sent to every member of our technical staff. Additionally, our engineers are provided with real-time status, notification and forecasting of network events.
