Data Center Information:
Located: Los Angeles, CA
The network redundancy of Globat's hosting platform is partially achieved through the utilization of two separate Data Centers that are on different backbones for additional protection. Our primary equipment is housed in a cage at our main Data Center, Equinix, located in downtown Los Angeles, California and is the same one used by Google, Yahoo and IBM. Our Tier-1 providers include Level (3), Verio and Mzima Networks and operate over private peering networks to avoid overcrowded public exchanges. We also maintain a presence at a second Data Center in Marina del Rey, California exclusively for secondary DNS and email server backup. This facility uses AT&T and Time/Warner for connectivity.
Company History:
Globat's founder, Ben R. Neumann, is one of the very few people credited with developing and starting the low-cost web hosting industry in 1995 when he founded Internet Communications which he sold to Interliant in 1998 and is today owned by Interland. When many dot-com companies started to fold in 2001 and more and more people voiced their frustration about web hosting companies they hosted with, Mr. Neumann decided that the time was right to create a new and innovative web hosting company - Globat.
What Sets Us Apart:
At Globat, we are not just using the terms quality network, affordable prices and top customer service for marketing purposes, we are living and operating by them. We keep our attention focused on what is the most important link in our business model - YOU - the customer.
