Network Details

Our network has been engineered for high-availability demands of todays active websites. The data centers and network have been optimized for performance and redundancy.

Connectivity
Hostahoy utilizes connections to multiple backbones to ensure the reliability of our network and data can be delivered in the most efficient manner.

BGP4 Routing
The Hostahoy networks utilize Border Gate Protocol (BGP4). BGP4 protocol is the standard that allows for routing of packets of information sent out from the our Networks. BGP4 routing creates a truly redundant network by routing traffic over the most efficient route possible. Data is automatically redirected through another route in the event of a router failure. Should one of our backbone providers fail, packets are automatically redirected through another provider.

Bandwidth Utilization
The Hostahoy Network currently has plenty of excess capacity, even during peak hours. This allows for us to accommodate the largest spikes in traffic that are often associated with active websites. We are always adding network connectivity and new routes in an effort to make sure content is delivered to your users as efficiently as possible. Always maintaining proper bandwidth headroom also allows us to provide maximum uptime, even if one of our providers has an outage .

Monitoring
Our 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.
