GiGaBiT's Datacenter is considered a Tier-1 facility in terms of network connectivity and infrastructure design. Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. St. Louis is a strategic central point in the United States that makes it an ideal location in which to distribute Internet data throughout the United States and around the world. Our Data Center is located inside of an 18-floor, all steel frame, secure building known as the Bandwidth Exchange Building. It is one of the largest telecomunications facilities in the central region of the United States. Most of the major carriers - such as AT&T, Sprint, MCI, Verizon, Qwest, Level3, Southwestern Bell and others have facilities at this same location.

On the Internet, speed is king! Simply put, slow web sites turn customers off. The return on your advertising investment is increased when your web pages and applications download quickly. According to Light Reading, a majority of Internet traffic is carried by AT&T, MCI/Verizon (UUNET), Sprint, Qwest, and Level 3. To ensure that webpages and applications reach your end users with the least amount of delay, our data center is directly linked to all major Internet backbones via rich fiber connections

GiGaBiT does not exchange traffic free with other providers at public exchange points such as MAE-East and MAE-West. Such peering agreements do not provide for any service quality guarantee. In fact, public exchange points often lead to greater packet loss. Because most end users can reach a server hosted at our Data Center via any one of the major backbones, the most common network problem on the Internet is avoided by eliminating the necessity to interconnect between backbone carriers at peering points and decrease the number of hops between the end user and the server.

Our state-of-the-art Internet Data Center is engineered for high performance and redundancy. It has rich fiber connections to all major carriers and scalable bandwidth capacity from OC3 to OC192.
