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 someone, from anywhere in the world, can access your website no matter where you are or where your website host is located.  For that reason, it doesn't matter where your website host is located relative to your location - 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 being said, we believe that location should still be a top consideration when choosing a web host.  Is the datacenter  located in an area that experiences severe weather?  What is the average outage time during power failures?  With servers based in the Mid-West, First Place Web Host is rarely subject to hurricanes, earth quakes, and much of the severe weather patterns that frequent the East & West coasts.  In outage situations, we're situated within a "priority restore area", less than a quarter of a mile from our regional power company's corporate headquarters - that's no coincidence! 

We regularly receive calls from hosting companies & webmasters that are looking for a more secure physical environment where their servers can be safe.  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:
California Web Hosting, San Francisco California Web Site Hosting, Las Angeles Email Hosting, LA California Co-Location, California Dedicated Servers, California Windows Hosting, California Hosting, California Co-Location, California Microsoft Hosted Exchange, California SQL Server

Our backup generator 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.
