Our redundant high-speed fiber connections to the Internet
guarantee that your customers will get to your website quickly
without having to wait. Make your website a reliable resource
for both your employees and customers. Our upstream providers
redundantly connect to the five largest worldwide Internet
backbones, which provides the fastest access to your site
around the world.
Our datacenter employs the BGP routing protocol. If one of
our upstream providers goes down, traffic will automatically
be re-routed and distributed over our other upstream providers.
We use RaQ4i servers manufactured by Sun Microsystems under
the Cobalt Networks brand. These servers are high performance
and were made for virtual web hosting. The RaQ4i servers are
based on Red Hat Linux and run the robust Apache web server.
The Vancouver datacenter is supplied by the following connections:
- 100Mbps fiber to Telus Advanced Communications
- 100Mbps fiber to Shaw Fiberlink/Bigpipe
TELUS Corporation is one of Canada's leading
telecommunications companies. It lit a national and cross-border
fiber IP backbone in 2001 to connect Canadians to the World.
Shaw Fiberlink/Big Pipe specializes in providing
mission critical data communications services to businesses
in Western Canada. Big Pipes network consists of a redundant
two-fiber route backbone transecting Canada and the United
States and connected to numerous intra-city fiber-networks.

"Just over a year ago we decided
to trust Paradox Web Hosting with one of our most important
communications tools – email and one of our biggest
marketing tools – our website.
To date we have not had one customer
complain that they could not reach us by email or via our
website. When there have been problems they have been resolved
usually within 1 hour.
In closing, I know you guys offer a
very valuable set of services and I look forward to what else
you have planned for the future."
