The MediaLayer Difference
Beyond the basic mechanics and cabling jargon that serve as the network infrastructure of MediaLayer, you will find professional, trained associates who are eager to jump in and serve you. Our ideology is to provide not only the necessary resources needed to power your web presence, but to serve as a second set of hands to help your business thrive.
MediaLayer believes in maintaining a comfortable learning and development atmosphere for our customers. Our staff will go above and beyond the call of duty to not only host your site, but to help even the most novice of users become acclimated to our hosting environment. The intermediate and expert developers can rely on our expertise in the industry to provide a stable platform to build a website on. We are constantly researching and releasing new web technologies, such as Web 2.0 support.
ZERO Overselling
It has become a general trend in the industry for hosting companies to offer unfeasible amounts of storage and transfer in hopes of gaining customers on that notion alone. However, at MediaLayer, we promise to never allocate more resources than we have available! If we have 100GB available on a given server, our guarantee is to never lease more than 50 accounts with 2GB allocated each. At other hosts you may find yourself sharing that 100GB with 500 accounts - something that simply doesn't occur here at MediaLayer.
Performance
Not only does MediaLayer utilize some of the best networks in the industry, but we also run highly optimized instances of LiteSpeed (web/http daemon) and MySQL (database daemon). We do everything in our power to make sure your website is always accessible and loads as quickly as possible. Unlike many other hosts, we maintain a very low number of domains per server, allowing each domain to have access to a substantially higher number of resources.
Reliability
MediaLayer utilizes some of the best networks and backbones in the market today. Both Internap & Mzima, leading providers of high performance, route-optimized bandwidth, offer exceptionally high-uptime SLAs and have built their networks with extreme redundancy in mind. Furthermore, none of our providers use a simple "basic BGP" setup to select the "best" path - you can count on route-optimization techniques to virtually eliminate packet loss and high latency.
Scalability
MediaLayer has a very strong pull with our hardware vendors and is therefore able to offer a wide variety of hosting solutions. Whether your site needs a beginner-type shared hosting account or a 20-server cluster, we have a solution available for you at a very affordable rate.
