Quite honestly, our prices are a bit more expensive than some of our competitors. Why? We've invested a lot in insuring that our network is the most reliable on the Internet: Multiply redundant direct-backbone connections to the Internet; power supplied from multiple power grids; multiply redundant back-up power supplies and generators; 24-7 network, server, and port monitoring; stand-by servers in case one should ever fail... Here're a few real-world examples of our reliability: [ MORE ]
- ZERO DOWNTIME : In our last annual report (from September 2002-August 2003), there was no downtime reported or recorded across our entire network! Many of our competitors also offer 99.9% uptime guarantees, but most of them cannot claim the reliability record that we consistently achieve. [ MORE ]
- CENTRAL & EAST COAST POWER BLACKOUTS: During the massive power outage that knocked out power in New York City and central & coastal US & Canada, GayWebHosts.Com experienced no downtime, even though both our network operating center and our tech support center are in areas that experienced power outages.

- HURRICANE ISABEL: When Hurricane Isabel struck our Network Operations Center on the Baltimore Harbor in September 2003, our operating center lost power from the power grid and communication through one of our Internet Backbones, but because of our multiple redundancy in both areas, GayWebHosts.Com and our clients' sites were never down.

- DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACK: You’ve read about them in the news—a well-orchestrated attack takes down a major web site. It’s happened to Yahoo & Microsoft, among many others. On Monday, August 25, 2003, our network underwent a massive Denial of Service attack. The hackers arranging the attack sent thousands of requests per second for non-existent pages from servers on our network. While the Network slowed down and service was slow from some quadrants of the Internet, the hackers were unsuccessful in bringing the network down. Access to all web sites on our network was maintained throughout the ordeal, and our network routing was modified to deflect the attackers and restore the network to normal operating status quickly.

- BLASTER & SoBIG VIRUSES: Every network on the Internet has been deluged with emails sent from the millions of computers infected with the two most recent viruses (and the most wide-spread viruses ever). Many email systems simply shut down or became so clogged that legitimate mail took hours to be delivered. Our network was similarly hit with millions of emails, but due to the high-bandwidth nature of our network, we were able to handle the huge increase in traffic without a hitch. Our sophisticated SpamVault feature was also quickly modified to block the virus emails and the many error emails that they generated, saving our clients hours of wading through the hundreds of dangerous virus-laden emails that were sent to their domains.
