Many Web hosting companies won’t want to admit it, but not all servers are equal. At Bear Creek Web, we had the foresight to strategically locate ours at the data center in Seattle, Washington. It’s a stable position right on the Internet backbone, in one of the premier telecom hubs in the nation.
Our Web servers are built around high-end, name-brand equipment and we do everything humanly possible to maximize our performance, our uptime, and your security. Backups are performed daily, and we constantly test our own ability to restore data should it be required.
Number-crunchers will be happy to know that we provide some of the most robust and detailed Web statistical packages anywhere.
When the goal is to provide results for our clients, the question is never how to do it cheaper; it’s how to do it better. So while other Web hosts keep their hardware and software costs to a minimum and share resources among as many customers as possible, our philosophy is different. We do what makes sense for our clients.
For example, we strictly enforce a maximum of no more than 30 sites on one server. And we’re constantly on the lookout for new hardware and software that will increase our clients’ security and the performance of their Web sites.
We‘ve also created our own private VLAN. Click here for a technical discussion of how our VLAN benefits you, and how our Cisco PIX 515 Firewall protects you.
Our commitment to superior quality Web hosting and e-mail hosting gives our clients a distinct advantage in online community-building as well as in the competition for page views, repeat visitors and conversions.

Our VLAN provides these key benefits:
A Cisco PIX 515 Firewall protects all of our equipment that is placed on the VLAN. This decreases the likelihood of your site suffering costly downtime due to hacking, Denial of Service Attacks or viruses. It also allows us to log any attempts at security compromises and respond with appropriate action. Additionally, we can preemptively block major threats such as CodeRed, Bugbear, and Nimda before they even reach the Web server.
