4. Security
   Perimeter fencing, green field space, card access, biometric entries, and mantraps all work to prevent unauthorized access. Because access to our Data Center isn't only physical, we have provided an unparalleled level of security and protection to our network.
   
   Our facilities support host-based virus protection, firewalls, real-time security alerting using intrusion detection scanners (IDS), and 24 hour monitoring from our Network Operations Center (NOC). Any potentially malicious activity can be curbed well before it happens.
   
   
5. Facilities
   WestHost understands the importance of client data. That's why WestHost servers are supported by a world-class infrastructure engineered from the ground up to support just about any kind of contingency. We've taken the time to ensure that our data center addresses all forms of potential business interruption. From a localized power failure to a major earthquake, all it takes to bring down a company is a lack of preparation.
   
   Redundant telecommunications paths into the local fiber optics infrastructure are buried around our Data Center and supported by multiple fiber carriers. Tier 1 connections to the Internet backbone are available through multiple gigabit Ethernet connections with scalability to OC-48 and beyond. We are peered with Verizon, XO, Global Crossing, Level 3, and ELI.
   
   
6. Experience
   With over 10 years in the Web hosting business and hosting over 65,000 Web sites, it's obvious we know what we're doing. Each member of our staff has been chosen based on their industry experience and is dedicated to our company and client-centric philosophy.
   
   Over the years we have continually worked to improve services and exceed our clients expectations. With WestHost, you can feel comfort in knowing your web hosting provider has a strong track record of providing quality and reliability of service. Best of all, things will only keep getting better.
   
   
7. Innovation
   Most Web Hosting companies offer "Traditional Shared Hosting". This means you literally share your resources, applications and environment with potentially hundreds of other users in the same directory. Virtual Private Servers offer the latest advancements in hosting technology and represent one more example of WestHost leading the industry in hosting innovation.

9. Stability
   WestHost was started in 1998 as a self-funded venture. More than 10 years later, we continue to maintain profitability and strong financial growth as a privately owned and independent Utah Web Hosting company, serving clients all over the world. Despite recent trends throughout the web hosting industry, WestHost's is growing larger, not smaller. We plan to be here for many years to come and hope you will too!
   
   
10. Value
    
    Nine other reasons don't matter if our pricing isn't competitive, but that's what's so great about our offering. For years we have kept giving more for less, and that is what has kept our clients with us throughout our history.
