SuperbHosting guarantees 100% network uptime (with one day's credit for each hour down), no packet loss (with one day's credit for each 1% lost), and less than 3 ms latency (with one day's credit for each additional 3 ms). The NOC is staffed by expert technicians 24/7 with System Administrators constantly monitoring network and server status.

Basics - What you need to know
DataCenter
Superb customers get the full benefit of 2 data centers with 6 POPs (points of presence) throughout the U.S. Multiple redundant and direct GigE and OC3 connections with no packet loss and low latency to assorted top tier backbone providers ensures you (and your site visitors) get connectivity that's lightning fast.

Power Management
The Superb DCA2 NOC in McLean, Virginia uses a heavy-duty UPS power supply with a diesel generator backup and the SEA2 West Coast NOC in Tukwila, WA uses 3 parallel UPS systems with a 1.5 Megawatt diesel backup generator.

Server Access by Customer
Physical Access: No physical access to the servers
Root Access: Root access to the servers

Service Offerings
General Managed Services - Bundles
Self-service management options included with every server also offer one hour/server/month. This includes general hardware issues and network support. Superb Hosting also offers custom-managed options including a "credit" system for you to choose the managed server options that you require to support your servers.

Security and Updates
The NOCs are both staffed by experience network and system administrators, whose sole job is to protect your hardware and your data.

Firewall
Advanced Policy Firewall (APF), a modular, policy-based IP tables system maintained by R-fx Networks, is available for Linux server users.

Backup Services
30 GB secure FTP backups for $15/month, 60 GB for $35/month, 120 GB for $65/month, 240 GB for $95/month.

Sample Server Plans
Intel Pentium 4 2.66 GHz CPU with 512 MB RAM, 80 GB SATA storage, and 1000 GB bandwidth for $89/month

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 Ghz CPU with 1GB RAM, 160 GB storage 1500 GB bandwidth for $159/month

Dual Intel Xeon 2.8 GHz CPU, 1 GB RAM, 120 GB storage and 2000 GB bandwidth for $219/month

Most of the prepackaged plans SuperbHosting offers are excellent values, though some may choose to build their own server anyway. You can use a Linux Fedora Core 5 or 6, Free BSD, or Windows 2003 or 2003 Web Edition operating system on a variety of mostly Pentium 4 and Conroe processors. Whichever route you choose, the real fun starts when you peruse the myriad of add-ons that each add power and versatility to your online presence. Far too numerous to list here, a sampling of some of the major ones included: a SATA RAID + 2 Hard Drive for $40 per month more, your favorite control panel (Plesk or cPanel) for an extra $15 per month, a 1 GB RAM upgrade for $15/month or 2 GB for $25, additional IPs for only $1/month, ecommerce functionality and much much more.

Your 100% Uptime Guarantee is true. In the past year, I have yet to be let down by Superb, whose reliability, affordability and customer service stands out in a saturated industry. I plan to remain a customer forever.

Peter van Dobben de Bruijn, www.pc4u.eu.com
I have been a very satisfied customer of Superb for years. I have always enjoyed the "welcoming nature" I receive - the attitude of "how can we better serve you?" Keep up the good work (and "that great attitude")!!!

John R Mishanski, www.algebrahelp.com
It has been over a year since I got my dedicated server with Superb after numerous service disruptions due to my other hosting company's poor network. I'm very happy to say that I have ZERO downtime to date.
