Atlanta NAP Data Center

The Atlanta NAP Data Center is located in Atlanta GA (USA) - with access to all the major fiber and IP backbones and the highest quality of power and security in the city. Your servers have a home here.

Why in USA ?
Internet access development in the US is ahead of Australia in terms of cost and connectivity.
The cost savings are passed on to you by SmallPond hosting plans pricing.

Does that mean my website will be slow to load ?
The ping (time taken) reading comparison is 23 milliseconds for the fastest Australian Server and 230 milliseconds for the Atlanta Server. The 200 millisecond difference is hard to spot on webpage downloads.

Redundant Internet Connections
While most companies use simple BGP routing, we utilize the Avaya route science route optimizer for the ultimate low latency high availability connection to your server. Coupled with 5 tier one providers and loads of peers, you will be hard pressed to find a better network out there!

Normal BGP routing simply looks at how many hops until the target, the route science box actually traces back to the originating websurfers up to 7000 times a minute identifying any problematic area then sorting the routes based on many different factors such as speed, packetloss, and amount of hops. Then it intelligently re-routes your connection to insure you stay on the fastest possible route.
