We host all our servers onsite. There are multiple onsite servers for load balancing and fail-over protection for our business and Web application system. If a server fails, others are there to automatically handle the load until the missing server is brought back online. Servers can be added and removed from the Web server farm in minutes using our custom built web interface application switch. If a server should fail our technology on call staff will be notified immediately.

Location, Location, Location!?
The great thing about the internet is that it can be accessed from anywhere in the world - meaning you can control your website from wherever you choose, whenever it's convenient for you.  Whether you're looking for a robust dedicated server or starter web hosting service, you can, and will, maintain your website from the comforts of your office.  For that reason, where your website host is located in relation to you should have little impact on the operation of your website. 

However, the location of your website host is important for a much more critical reason - reliability.  You should always look for a hosting company that is in a secure location away from the threat of frequent severe weather.  If you live in a hurricane-prone area, your server doesn't need to - and shouldn't!  You need maximum up-time, and we're here to bring it to you!

With servers based in the Mid-West, we are rarely subject to hurricanes, earth quakes, and much of the severe weather that frequently hits the East & West coasts.  We regularly receive calls from hosting companies & webmasters that are looking for a more secure physical environment where their servers will be protected.  Interested in co-locating a server?  Have it delivered to our offices!

Recently cleaned and inspected, November 2006, our generator operates at optimum efficiency to ensure uninterrupted power to all essential datacenter operations: servers, cooling, lighting, and security.

Full Service Managed Services
Our full service management is available for all of our customers & all services.  We can take care of all of the patches and software updates for the operating system, monitor ports and security settings and continuously provide the 'ultimate customer experience' for our shared and fully managed servers.  We also provide our management & maintenance services for dedicated & co-location on an as needed basis to accommodate for experienced web masters and server administrators. 

If you have the knowledge, experience, and time, we can provide the same dedicated server hardware without management services.  This greatly reduces the cost of getting a top quality server from FPWH.

Facilities Upgrade
We have continued to upgrade our hosting facilities and infrastructure. We have built a top notch data center with redundant cooling, power & ups units, and multiple redundant fiber connections to the Internet.

We buy hosting clients and companies!
