Take Control of your Web Hosting Today

A reputation for excellence built on reliability, stability and customer service. 

Having a web site for your business is no longer just trendy. It's a necessity. Today, hundreds of millions of people use the Internet for research and shopping. The Internet is often the first and only resource a consumer uses. If your business is not on the "Net", chances are that a potential customer will never find you.

While the web hosting package you choose is important, no decision you make is as important as who you select to provide your web hosting. To select your web hosting provider, take a hard look at your expectations for your site and then develop a list of requirements. Be careful not to confuse, "must-haves" and "bells-and-whistles". Always make your decision based on what you need. The following are a few items that we consider crucial when selecting a web hosting provider.

Our goal is to provide customers with the highest quality hosting at the lowest prices possible. We are fully committed to our customers and have taken extensive steps to ensure our customers feel secure and satisfied with their hosting.

A seamless blend of UNIX and Microsoft^® technologies 

Our technology combines the functionality of “UNIX hosting” and Windows^® "NT hosting" onto one platform. You can run ASP/MS Access and PHP/MySQL based sites from our same server farm. With our seamless blending of UNIX and Microsoft^® technologies, Link2CITY.com hosting infrastructure uses leading edge technologies to provide this “cross-platform” system. 

Scalability 

Link2CITY.com architecture and infrastructure was designed and built from the ground up to scale to an unlimited number of domains. These domains are hosted on multiple redundant servers, which are clustered using load balancing hardware. 

Redundancy and Reliability 

First, we have multiple redundant Internet connections, currently provided by UUNET, LOOK Communications and Sprint, and are implemented through the use of BGP4 (Border Gateway Protocol). We monitor and upgrade bandwidth as needed. 

Secondly, our multiple routers are made redundant through the use of Cisco's HSRP (Hot Swappable Router Protocol). Our server clusters use multiple load balancing hardware, designed for fail over in the event of a load balancer fault, which allows us to provide you with a 99.9% Uptime Guarantee! 

Performance and data integrity 

Data integrity and speed are assured by multiple Network Appliance Filers using RAID5 technology. Three back up systems are in place; one is on-site and two are off-site at geographically separated data centers. The systems are continuously monitored for reliability and performance by our NOC support staff. The data centers are protected through electrical power backup, independent air conditioning units and physical security measures. 

Security 

Link2CITY.com security administrators handle all aspects of firewall management. Our systems are secured using the latest security methods including router access list filtering on inbound carrier feeds and fire-walling at the SYN level on internal devices. For security reasons we are able to modify response packets which masquerade responses to the remote initiator. 

On the backend, we utilize intrusion detection software that notifies us of any unusual use of our systems. This allows us to take immediate action in the case of unconventional activity. 

Our security administrators keep up with current security problems through a variety of methods, such as monitoring the major security mailing lists. These lists provide invaluable information in case a potential security problem is found relating to our systems. Within hours of acknowledgement that a potential problem exists, our system is updated appropriately. 

We realize security is an ongoing concern. We perform security audits on a monthly basis, ensuring that our systems are not susceptible to any type of exploit/DOS (Denial of Service). 

Take a look around and we think you will agree, there simply is no reason to host anywhere else!
