Network Information
-
The SpecHosting network is powered by a high-speed Cisco core, with an emphasis on stability and redundancy. As a Chicago provider, we have access to multiple major bandwidth providers, and have contracts with many of them to provide the best speed and uptime to our customers. High-speed Cisco cabinet switches connect into multiple cores to provide redundant paths to all customer servers, eliminating many downtime issues due to core maintenance. Leveraging custom-developed automation tools, the SpecHosting network is able to rapidly respond to changes in network conditions, and quickly update customer configurations to provide a superior level of service.

The level of support has been way above average as compared to the last two resellers I sampled. Tanner, the owner, spent over an hour with me on their Live Chat trying to resolve an issue with site transfer from my other host.
