About Us
Silicon Valley Web Hosting is a privately held Internet Services Provider based in Silicon Valley.
We are dedicated to providing low cost high quality Internet hosting solutions.
Since opening our doors in 1996, Silicon Valley Web Hosting has been committed to bringing the power of the
Internet to our customers across the globe. This has been done by continually developing our network in order to
offer reliable and scalable hosting services to our clients at very competitive prices, all supported by unmatched
customer service. Being one of the oldest and most experienced Web hosting companies in the industry, we have the
network and skills to provide the best possible service to our demanding customers.
Our Philosophy
We take pride in the close relationships we build with our clients. Your website reflects your business, so
we make every effort possible to ensure that your Internet presence operates efficiently and without interruption.
To accomplish this, we are happy to work with you to provide a customized solution based upon your needs.
Our Network
Our main data center is located less than 1500 feet from the Mae West Internet exchange point in San Jose, California.
Our secondary data center is located just few miles away in Sunnyvale, CA. Our high speed network backbone was designed
to be extremely robust, fully redundant, and highly reliable. Our network Internet access consists of redundant “multi-homed”
direct optical links to the major Internet backbones. This “multi-homing” consists of ten separate Gigabit connections to four
separate service providers. Each data center has connectivity to three separate bandwidth carriers. Loadbalancing and failover
between carriers is accomplished using multiple Cisco routers running BGP4. Our private Internet connections are provided by
Level 3, WilTel, Cogent, and Hurricane Electric. All Silicon Valley Web Hosting servers are housed in commercial grade secured
and reinforced Data Centers, with redundant power and advanced fire suppression systems, as well as 24x7x365 support.
Silicon Valley Web Hosting’s Network Operations Center (NOC) is also monitored 24x7x365.
Scalability
Unlike many Internet presence providers, Silicon Valley Web Hosting does not cap the amount of bandwidth your site may use.
With traditional providers if your bandwidth limit is exceeded, users will not be able to access your web site. This not only stops
your traffic, but is embarrassing and frustrates customers. This can also cause the removal of your site from search engines if
they think your site is no longer accessible. This will never happen with us. If you exceed your base transfer limit, you will simply
incur a very small charge for each additional megabyte of data transferred. Because we are located in Silicon Valley, and we
purchase large amounts of bandwidth from our carriers, the bandwidth pricing we can offer our clients is nearly unbeatable.
Servers
For our Virtual Dedicated or Shared Server hosting clients we use reliable and time tested equipment specifically well suited for
demanding Internet applications. Many other presence providers use low cost personal computers as their shared web servers.
Unfortunately, the performance of these personal computers tends to degrade rapidly when placed under strenuous loads. When
pushed too hard, it is common for these same personal computers to simply crash. That's why we use only Sun UltraSPARC web
servers. Sun Microsystems has proven that their servers and Solaris operating system are designed to withstand the high demands
placed upon them by Internet applications.
For our Dedicated Server clients we offer high performance single, dual, or quad processor machines based upon Intel or AMD chipsets.
We can support Linux (Centos or Free BSD) or Windows operating systems. Our high quality systems are custom
built in Silicon Valley to meet the high demands of the commercial hosting environment.
Web Server Software
Selecting a reliable server and a robust operating system is just the beginning. Many of the performance problems that plague
current providers lie in simple software bottlenecks. To help alleviate this problem, we've chosen to use the Zeus Web Server package.
Not only is Zeus the world's fastest web server application, but it happens to be one of the most reliable. The high speed and reliability
achieved with Zeus web server is due to it’s superb quality. Zeus is designed to make extensive use of multi-threading and to avoid
forking child processes to the operating system. To the end user this simply means a web site with a very rapid response.
