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 - Choose Wisely...
The great thing about the internet is that someone, from anywhere in the world, can access your website while you stay put where you are.  For that reason, it doesn't matter if your website host is located around the corner, or on the other side of the world -  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. 

That said, location should be one of the main criteria when choosing a web host: are they located in an area that experiences severe weather?  Is the datacenter in a remote location that does not receive timely utility service? 

At First Place Web Host, we answer those two questions with a resounding "NO! and NO!"  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.  And it's no coincidence that when we look out our office windows we see the corporate headquarters of our regional power company.  They're less than a quarter of a mile away, positioning us squarely within their "priority area".

Experienced webmasters know this, and we regularly field calls from hosting companies & webmasters that are looking for a more secure physical environment where their servers will be safe.  You, too,  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!

First Place Web Host provides the following:
Sacramento Web Hosting, Sacramento Web Site Hosting, Sacramento Email Hosting, Sacramento Co-Location, Sacramento Dedicated Servers, Sacramento area Windows Hosting, Sacramento Metropolitan Area Hosting, Sacramento Metro Area Co-Location, Sacramento Microsoft Hosted Exchange, Sacramento SQL Server

Our backup generator, inspected and cleaned November 2006, ensures uninterrupted power through extended shortage emergencies.

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.
