November 11th, 2003 – Modwest today announced the addition of a new network provider to support the company’s growing bandwidth requirements. The recently deployed additional connection will provide overflow capacity and network redundancy for Modwest’s hosting services.

Modwest co-founder and VP John Masterson remarked: “Throughout 2003, we have focused on improving the scalability of our technical infrastructure. This redundant internet connection complements the advances we’ve made with our hosting server cluster this year, and should provide for near-100% network uptime going forward.”

Multiple, redundant network connectivity is important to Modwest and its customers because of the performance and failover benefits. When connectivity is obtained from multiple providers, service uptime – and visitor experience – can be greatly enhanced because traffic can be dynamically routed around localized congestion or outages.

“Modwest is committed to excellence,” added Masterson. “And in today’s competitive hosting market, our customers around the world demand it. This network upgrade is just one in a long line of enhancements and upgrades to our hosting infrastructure.”

Modwest provides shared and managed hosting services to thousands of customers in fifty countries worldwide.
