Besides having extremely cost-efficient web hosting plans, Vantage Internet Services leaves the competition behind by offering excellent customer service, extremely quick speed and extremely powerful features that you will not find from other web hosting companies.

Unlike many of the hosting companies who have small operation centers on site, Vantage Internet Services has partnered with a major Data Center to offer our clients the same performance, bandwidth, and protection that is used by GTE, Sprint, Yahoo! and other major Internet service providers.

What this means to you is instead of having your account hosted on a single server with no redundant backup system, running on a single t3 line at best, and with an admin that is paged at home if the system goes down at night, we offer you the best service, speed and reliability available today on the Internet.

With our service you are always assured of the following:

• Full redundant connections to the Internet, using connections through UUnet, GTE, Savvis, and Frontier Global
  
• Full-time on-site staff monitors our network 24 hours a day 7 days a week
  
• Our network boasts top of the line, modern equipment. We use Cisco 7500 routers, Cisco Catalyst switches and high quality Cat5 network cabling.
  
• Our network is protected by private armed security as well as surveillance cameras and an online staff 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Our Hardware
We have a Dual OC-3 connection to MAE-WEST. An OC-3 provides us with 155 mega bits per second connection speed which is equivalent to more than 100 T-1's or 3 DS-3's. Our network boasts top of the line, modern equipment. The data center is protected by battery backups as well as a building-wide power generator in the unlikely event of a complete power failure.

Our on-site staff monitors our network 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition all servers and services are monitored by multiple monitoring tools and will page system administrators at the first sign of trouble. If there is ever a problem you can be rest assured that it is being addressed.

For maximum reliability, all our servers are custom-built using the best components currently available in the industry. Since there are constant improvements in the hardware industry, we ensure that we upgrade all our systems every 3-4 months, thereby providing you access to the latest machines equipped with fast processors and lots of memory and storage space.
