The geographical location of a hosting company's data centre is another critical component for ensuring top reliability. Texas, California, and British Columbia are some of North America's most beautiful places to live and to conduct business. Though, many local hosting companies, (no matter how advanced) will be at some type of disadvantage. Whether their data centre is in threat of being struck by tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, or major power outages... It is out of their control.
A city's Internet user base can also affect a hosting company's reliability. If a hosting company is located in a city with a large Internet user base, typically their data speeds will suffer as a result of line over subscription, which is the main cause of severe bottlenecks.
interspots operates our primary data centre out of Edmonton, Alberta. Edmonton is an ideal location as it is rated a low to no risk zone for tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, and is one of North America's largest providers of energy. As well, Edmonton's Internet user base remains low while the Internet connections are some of the largest and least congested in the world!
