Increased bandwidth, tighter security means better service for clients

BEDFORD, TX (December 8, 2003) - After only 20 months, C I Host has doubled
the size of its Los Angeles Center and upgraded its bandwidth capability to
meet its ever-expanding Web hosting and Internet infrastructure business.

down, C I Host has been able to grow and prosper due to its firm financial
footing and focus on its customer’s needs.

"We are expanding and our client demand is higher than ever," said

have been shutting down, we continue to grow."

In addition to doubling the size of the LA facility, C I Host has installed
two more DS-3 connections from Qwest Communications and Verio and a GigE
Connection from Cogent Communications.

"This brings our total bandwidth to a capacity that exceeds
1,100mbits/second," Faulkner said. "We are capable of handling an additional
6,000 clients in our LA facility, from the smallest to the largest."

To protect against any physical or electronic attack, C I Host has installed
hot swap Cisco 7206 VXR routers, added redundant firewall systems and
installed additional biometric security measures. Ten monitored CCTV cameras
that record every movement in the secure facility 24 hours a day. The center
is now capable of holding 10,000 clients total.
