Our Advantages Over Other Hosts

Experience and Expertise
pair Networks was founded at a time when truly reliable Web hosting was hard to find. Since January 1996, pair Networks has been providing World Class Web Hosting to customers from all around the world. You'll benefit from our years of experience and top notch technical expertise. We have the knowledge and experience to keep your Web sites online and running smoothly.

World Class Network
Our network connectivity is second to none. Multiple GigE connections to five backbone providers ensure that your Web sites will always load quickly and give your visitors the fast and smooth experience they demand. Industry-leading routing and switching hardware from Juniper Networks keep your data flowing quickly and efficiently on our fully switched, collision-free, congestion-free network.

Top of the Line Web Hosting Servers
We use only top of the line, custom-built Intel and AMD servers running the ultra-stable and secure FreeBSD UNIX operating system. The security, stability, and reliability of our security-hardened servers is passed on to you as a direct benefit. Specializing in one platform ensures that we are able to provide you with the best possible service and support.

We continually upgrade our servers as more powerful equipment becomes available. Your Web site will always be hosted on state-of-the-art equipment with plenty of room for growth.

Uptime and Reliability
Our network is monitored and maintained 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Our server and network uptime is well in excess of 99.9%. Your data is backed up daily to ensure full recovery in the event of a disaster. Our entire facility is protected by multi-stage security, FM-200 fire suppression systems, Powerware battery backup systems, and two factory-new redundant 1.5 megawatt Detroit Diesel generators that can run indefinitely. Your data is always safe with pair Networks.

FreeBSD UNIX Operating System
UNIX operating systems have been proven stable and reliable through decades of enhancement and improvement. pair Networks uses the open-source FreeBSD UNIX operating system exclusively for all of our Web hosting services. You can count on this added reliability, scalability, and security as a benefit to your site.

Security
pair Networks keeps your data safe with a combination of multi-layer physical security and comprehensive network security. Only authorized personnel are permitted to access our datacenter facility. All restricted areas are protected by video surveillance as well as on-site personnel, 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

Our FreeBSD UNIX servers are extensively hardened and tested to protect your data from compromise. Our systems administrators actively maintain awareness of new security developments, and as an open-source system, FreeBSD is easy to update with new protections. We work hard to keep your site operational and your data secure.

Redundant Systems
pair Networks keeps your Web site online through redundant network systems. Our diversely connected network ensures that your Web site will be available on demand regardless of most network problems or circuit failures. Your data is protected by multi-stage security, fire suppression systems, on-site and off-site data backup systems, and two factory-new redundant 1.5 megawatt Detroit Diesel generators that can keep your Web site up and running indefinitely. Our systems are designed to always stay online.

Complete Control Over Your Account
When you host with pair Networks, you maintain complete control over your account, 24 hours a day. The personalized Account Control Center allows you to configure electronic mailboxes, e-mail forwarding, autoresponders, domain names, e-mailing lists, and other configuration changes, all through a secure Web interface. Most of our accounts also provide command-line access to popular UNIX shells via SSH.

Flexibility
Unlike many other hosts, our Web hosting services allow you to add multiple domain names without requiring additional accounts. This can be used simply to park variations of a domain name onto a single site or to host completely different sites within a single account, provided the sites are maintained by the same individual or group. Options such as secure server (SSL), additional mailboxes, custom CGI, PHP, e-commerce software, MySQL databases, FrontPage server extensions and Internet Merchant Accounts (for accepting credit cards online) are also available.

Price and Performance
pair Networks offers the full range of services you need at the price that fits your budget. No matter how large or small your Web site is now, we offer the affordable upgrade path that will meet those needs for years and years to come. Regardless of how quickly your needs may evolve, we are the Web host that you can grow with.

Our prices are competitive and compensatory to the value of our services. In addition, all of our pair.com services automatically receive prepayment discounts (except for pairLite and pairColo services).

Money-Back Guarantee
We are so confident in the quality of our hosting services that we offer a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee of satisfaction. If, for any reason, you are dissatisfied with our services, and close your account within 30 days of initial setup, a full refund will be provided, including our hosting setup fees (does not apply to pairColo services). Domain name registration fees are nonrefundable.
