High Bandwidth Dedicated Web Hosting

High Bandwidth Hosting is a highly competitive industry. In today’s market, hosting providers typically have to leverage bandwidth as a major selling point to attract new customers. Some hosting companies offer a large quantity of bandwidth upfront, but fail to tell customers how much it would cost to go over their monthly-allotted bandwidth usage. This “bandwidth overage” can become very expensive to a customer who has not been educated on how to monitor bandwidth usage before they signup for hosting services. For some high bandwidth hosting companies, bandwidth overages can increase revenues significantly while costing customers hundreds, even thousands of dollars in added expenses.

For example, let’s say you receive 200 GB of bandwidth from your high bandwidth hosting provider on a monthly basis. One day you have a significant increase in traffic to your web site and your bandwidth usage climbs to 500 GB. Then you receive a bill for $300 on top of your current monthly price for bandwidth overages. That calculates to $1.00 per GB for the 300 GB over your 200 GB monthly-allocated bandwidth. Most likely, your provider didn’t warn you of the potential overage, nor did they give you the resources to pre-purchase bandwidth upgrades. If this were to happen to you every month for one year, it would end up costing you around $3,600 in expenses you could have avoided.

At FastServers.Net, we handle high bandwidth hosting differently. We have an open and honest policy where you are informed upfront about all your high bandwidth hosting options including where to find the resources to monitor and set up notifications of your bandwidth usage, pre-purchase bandwidth upgrades at affordable prices, and many other highly-competitive advantages. Our “best of breed” high bandwidth hosting offering features ultra accurate measurements, one-way traffic count, super flexible pay-as-you-go billing, up-to-the-minute statistics, and our exclusive “Bandwidth Alert System.” These are just a few of the features you receive with FastServers.Net’s high bandwidth dedicated servers.

Take a look at the chart below to see a complete list of high bandwidth features from FastServers.Net as compared to “The Competition.”

 

High Bandwidth Hosting Comparison
	FastServers.Net	Competition
Accurate Bandwidth Measurements	Real Time Graphs (RTG) measuring bandwidth on a byte level basis.	Utilizes MRTG based billing with “educated” guessing on total utilization.
One-Way Traffic Count	Measurements are calculated one-way; the greater of your incoming/outgoing is considered total utilization.	Measurements are calculated by adding incoming and outgoing for total utilization.
Pay-as-you-go-billing	Upgrade your bandwidth ‘anytime during the month’ to avoid costly bandwidth overages.	Providers require notification prior to your monthly billing or long term “Commit” based contracts. Overages are billed at 5-10 times their normal rates.
Up-to-the-minute statistics	Bandwidth measurements are made available via easy-to-read trend graphs and simple text based usage reports. Example Total Monthly Usage: 51.5GB	Bandwidth measurements often include graphs with translation of total usage left up to the customer. Example Weekly Usage: 5.2 Mbps
Bandwidth Alert System	Easy system that allows you to setup email based notifications in less than 30 seconds. You simply enter the threshold and email address. If your bandwidth reaches this threshold it automatically emails you.	Usage and overages are left for you to decipher. This results in the need to check utilization on a daily basis or receive an unexpected bandwidth overage.
Low-cost bandwidth upgrades for pre-paid bandwidth.	$25.00 per 100 GB, which translates into .25 cents per 1 GB of additional usage.	Industry average is between $2.50-5.00 per GB and requires pre-purchase and long-term commitments.
100Mbps to Gbps Direct Connections.	Provided free with every dedicated server.	Upgrade to 100Mbps requires additional monthly fees.

Each high bandwidth hosting server at FastServers.Net comes with a monthly-allocated 1500 GB of bandwidth. With the new Bandwidth Alert System, you can easily set a threshold and have the system notify you when the limit you set has been reached. An email will be dispatched to you automatically with instructions on how to upgrade your bandwidth before your server goes over the standard 1500 GB of transfer. It’s easy to setup the Bandwidth Alert System. First, login to the pentagon.fastservers.net control panel. Then set the notification bandwidth limit, enter an email address for notifications, and click submit. In less than thirty (30) seconds you will be free to go on about your daily business and the Bandwidth Alert System will notify you if the limit you set has been reached.

The FastServers.Net network is powered by direct fiber optics to major peering points worldwide. Bandwidth is carries over redundant high speed links directly to a Cisco 12008 GSR located directly in the data center. High speed distribution takes place utilizing a combination of Cisco Catalysts 3550 and Cisco Catalyst 2960 Ethernet switches. All managed dedicated servers are connected at 100MB/s for the fastest and most direct route out to the Internet.
