When CAT5 Hosting Solutions
was launched in 1990, we wanted to provide affordable and
reliable hosting for personal websites and small businesses.
We now service personal and business websites. We also host
ecommerce shops, Fortune 500 corporations and medical
facilities. We also have the resources for those seeking
dedicated server solutions.
From our
Winter Plan
offering a generous 100MB disk space to our
Summer
Plan
offering you unlimited space and
traffic, we have the perfect site for you!
When you
sign up for service with CAT5 Hosting Solutions, we don't
just put you on any old server like all the other hosts. We
place you on a sever closest to your physical location
(based on IP Address) and because of our multiple data
centers, chances are we have a data center usually within a
very close distance to you.
CAT5 Hosting Solutions has been a premier web hosting
provider for years. By having a dedicated customer service
center in Phoenix Arizona that operates 24 hours a day, we
have what it takes to take your site to the next level. We
also have an Executive Service Center in Las Vegas Nevada to
handle our premier customers. |
 In 2010
CAT5 Hosting Solutions went
GREEN! In order to compensate for the power we pull from the
grid (like all other web hosts do to make your website work)
we purchase wind energy credits for the energy we consume
from the grid. In fact we replace, with wind power, 3 times
the amount of energy used by our servers so if we pull 1X of
power from the grid we purchase enough wind energy credits
to put back into the grid 3X of power having been produced
by wind power.
This allows our customers to
say that their web sites are 300% green and are actually
helping to make the web hosting and power systems greener,
not just covering the carbon footprint but covering other's
carbon foot prints as well |
All
web hosts are not created equal
While many hosting companies are
discrete about their infrastructure - We take pride in being
located in a true mission-critical data center (as any serious
web host should).
What does this mean for your
website?
- Fast Connections - Smart
Cisco + Brocade + Force10 routing find the shortest routes
from source to destination with Packet Exchange
- High Capacity - Dense OC-48
and OC-192 fiber-optic internet connections allows heavy
combined throughput
- Power that Never Fails -
Redundant APC Uninterruptible Power Systems and diesel
backup generators on-site
- Healthy Hardware -
Exclusively server-grade hardware (Dual Intel Xeon) cared
for by Liebert HVAC environmental
We understand that most web hosts
have no infrastructure, are resellers of resellers of resellers,
are dishonest, or at very least extremely misleading about the
infrastructure that they have. The veil of the internet is
extremely thick. |
