Typically, web hosting companies put bandwidth limitations on websites they host. This is like heavy traffic moving on a two-lane street between the server where your website is hosted and your visitors’ computers. Traffic jams and distance slow the load speed of the content, making your website appear to load slowly. For example, if someone in the UK is visiting your website hosted in California, videos, images, and downloads will load slowly – this is frustrating and inexcusable to visitors who are trying to access your services.

The solution to this problem is called a Content Delivery Network or CDN. A content delivery network is a system of servers networked together and cooperating to deliver your website content to visitors around the world faster.

Instead of sending your website content via a two lane road, FireHost’s content delivery network sends your website content to visitors using multiple “super highways” spanning the globe. FireHost’s CDN ensures your website’s heavy, bandwidth-intense content (including videos and images) loads smooth and fast for every visitor from the servers nearest to their location. This means higher customer satisfaction and a dose of good will for your company’s brand. CDN also means lower bandwidth costs, higher sales, and a healthy balance in your business checking account.

FireHost CDN provides these benefits by hosting your content from 45 locations throughout the world.

Our network spans:

• Five Continents: North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.

• Ten Countries: The United States, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Japan, China, The Philippines, and Australia.

• Twenty Three Cities: Dallas, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Atlanta, San Diego, Scottsdale, London, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Sydney, and more.

Our global CDN network is optimized for live video streaming, high definition video, and other large media files to provide visitors with an exceptional experience, wherever they are located.

FireHost’s CDN delivers a high performance solution with flexible contract terms and usage-based pricing to enable your company to secure an invaluable national or global advantage at reasonable prices. Learn more at FireHost.com.

Handling the Digg effect requires a worldwide content delivery network, in addition to massive processing and bandwidth resources. Typical hosting providers aren’t up to the challenge, and it’s common for websites to shut down and remain offline for hours at a time simply because their hosting provider isn’t properly equipped with reliable CDN technology.

Website downtime due to visitor traffic spikes doesn’t happen to FireHost CDN customers because we have an extensive content delivery network and bandwidth flexibility to deliver your videos and downloads worldwide. Spanning five contents with 45 points of presence in 23 cities around the globe, our worldwide content delivery network ensures your website’s content is consistently and quickly accessible, especially when the Digg effect is in full force.

Additionally, FireHost does not subscribe to bandwidth throttling practices. We allocate resources to web hosting customers in accordance with each individual website’s traffic, providing precisely what every client needs, when they need it.
