New member
Hello everyone! CalHost has undergone a substantial and thoughtful re-work and I am now pleased to announce 3 new features included with every new server sold:
NEW! 30 MINUTE Support Response 24/7/365
It's true! Gone are the days of hoping for a quick response at 3 in the morning. With this new support program we are now able to offer our customers TRUE 24/7/365 round-the-clock technical support. Open a ticket within our HelpCenter and get a personal response from one of our techs within 30 minutes. If we can't resolve it with the first ticket, we'll have it resolved within 6 hours (provided you are available for additional info as needed). This is a huge step forward for us and we're very excited to share this news with you!
NEW! Affordable Control Panels
CPANEL and DIRECTADMIN are 2 very common control panels and until now, CalHost has been very much behind the curve and only taking clients who do not need a control panel. Those days are gone gone gone and CPanel and DirectAdmin are now standard options for all CalHost servers:
CPanel - $24.95/month
DirectAdmin - $9.95/month
NEW! 100% Uptime Guarantee
Talk about raising the standard for hosting. This is no laughing matter. CalHost has held a 100% uptime record since we started monitoring our systems last year but we promise our customers a 99.5% uptime SLA guarantee. We're changing that and now we are providing everyone with our 100% True Uptime SLA guarantee. That's right- the network has not gone down and we are now so confident it will stay online that we're willing to put our money where our mouth is. If the network goes down outside a regular scheduled network maintenance window or not related to server hardware failure, you dont pay.
Some conditions apply, rates subject to length of downtime.

? Apple
? Qwest
? Synergix
? Cal Airline

? Our cage is secured by a cylindrical custom-cut locking sliding door, 1 1/2" square mesh and sealed feeds.
? The building exterior is monitored by stills and video cams.
? The outer perimeter is secured by a 24/7 onsite security staff, security cameras, video cams, card/PIN codes, biometric scanners and man traps.

DoS attacks are mitigated via the CalHost Watchdog Program monitored 24/7 by a team of Cisco and Foundry-certified engineers.
Level 1 technicians are available as a courtesy to CalHost which allows us to take care of you faster and at much lower cost. Level 1 services includes power cycle troublshooting, cable management (moves, reseating cables) and a host of other 'inform & perform' responsibilities.
And of course, all questions and inquiries are welcome. Most servers come with 1000GB bandwidth. Secure per-U and colo inquiries are always welcome. Visits to the floor are unescorted (subject to standard per visit security procedures) in a dedicated locking cabinet outside the cage structure.
