LightBound State of the Art Data Center
Indiana Server Hosting
Hosting uptime refers to the percentage of time the host is accessible via the internet. Many providers state that they aim for at least 99.9% uptime (roughly equivalent to 45 minutes of downtime a month, or less), but there may be server restarts and planned (or unplanned) maintenance in any hosting environment, which may or may not be considered part of the official uptime promise.
Many providers tie uptime and accessibility into their own service level agreement (SLA). SLAs sometimes include refunds or reduced costs if performance goals are not met.
Beware of companies overing voice services over open Internet
If you are looking at VoIP PBX Solutions and VoIP Service Providers that say they can offer voice with QOS over the open Internet you need to beware. We have run into this several times and this is how the scenario goes. The provider that is offering voice services over the open Internet tells customers that they provide QOS in their router or phone system and if they have enough bandwidth it should not be a problem. The customer signs up for the service and then after several months they begin experiencing problems. The provider then tells them it’s the problem of their ISP not having QOS. The ISP (LightBound in this case) gets a black eye for not having “QOS” and then the provider tells them if they get their Internet directly through them the problem will be resolved. The customer is bound under contract for the voice service and then winds up having to pay for another Internet circuit that has QOS.
There is no way to provide QOS over the open Internet because there is not end to end control of the circuit. Once the data packet carrier voice leave the router or switch from your location there is no guarantee that other routers downstream will treat the QOS packet with any priority. Will voice work over the open Internet? Yes it will, sometimes, but there is no guarantee and it is on a best effort basis. LightBound is able to offer QOS to your office because the circuit is directly connected from the LightBound data center to your office and there is equipment that can be set up to provide QOS at each end.
LightBound- Internet bandwidth is not all the same
I spoke with a customer today that is struggling with the cost of bandwidth and trying to weigh the options between a more cost-effective option versus the more costly option with higher speed. In their daily business they upload large graphic files and need to have a robust network in order to guarantee Internet access at all times, with a high upload speed. After reviewing their options they decided upon LightBound's Internet access service so that they can insure their business is constantly online and running.
LightBound also offers business continuity, WAN configuration, and VoIP services over their high-speed network.
