November 12, 2003 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Modwest (modwest.com), a Web hosting provider
r
based in Montana, said yesterday that it has added a new network provider to support
r
the company’s growing bandwidth requirements. The company said the additional
r
connection provides overflow capacity and network redundancy for Modwest’s Web
r
hosting services.
r
r
“Throughout 2003, we have focused on improving the scalability of our technical
r
infrastructure,” said John Masterson, vice-president and co-founder of Modwest.
r
“This redundant Internet connection complements the advances we’ve made with our
r
hosting server cluster this year, and should provide for near-100 percent network
r
uptime going forward.”
r
r
According to Modwest, redundant network connectivity is important to Modwest’s
r
hosting customers because of the performance and failover benefits of obtaining
r
connectivity from multiple providers.
r
r
“Modwest is committed to excellence,” added Masterson. “And in today’s competitive
r
hosting market, our customers around the world demand it. This network upgrade is
r
just one in a long line of enhancements and upgrades to our hosting infrastructure.”
