Tier 1 host site
At a Tier 1 host site, your web site sits on a system tied directly to one of the Internet backbone. The system is maintained by one of the most reputable firms in the nation. NHBweb administers the your web site and all aspects of the web site. All development can be provided by NHBweb and all billing is through us. Just be assured the system itself and the network connections are fully maintained by the Tier 1 host site. By utilizing their services and hosting on their system, you can rely on a 24 hr a day presence on the web every day of the year. The web site is fully backed up and if required can be mirrored at another data center.
Tier 2 host site
At a tier 2 host site, your web site sits on a system tied to a tier 1 site with a T1 or T3 connection to the tier 1 site. This means the data presented to a browser must go through a series of routers and the bandwidth is shared by others on the tier 2 site. Generally, unless your web site will be heavily hit, this may not be a problem but may not save you any money. At NHBweb, we lease servers in a tier 1 datacenter and support your web site.
Why
With a Tier 2 host site, the provider must connect to a Tier 1 site. A tier 3 host site connects to a Tier 2 site which is connected to a Tier 1 site. At smaller sites, you might not be able to obtain the service you need. At some of these sites, you would be responsible for administering and maintaining your site. We will be glad to discuss the pro's and con's of where to locate your site.
