Gate.com Hosting

A thorough web hosting solution, to say the least, Gate.com offers pretty much all the types of web hosting one could hope for - Unix hosting, Windows hosting with full ASP.net support, and Dedicated servers (Linux and Windows both). But besides being in the business of web hosting alone, Gate.com also offers a bare-bones plan for a domain name ($6.95/yr) and 50 email addresses with 5 GB of storage each (for $4.95/mo. or $49.95/yr). It includes a free web design tool and 2 web pages. Gate.com has been around since the dawn of the web and if they keep offering this same quality of service and experience, they'll continue to be around as long as the internet itself.

Reliability
Gate.com web hosting is owned and operated by Affinity Internet who maintains their 99.99% uptime guarantee with a keen eye on the three primary aspects of technology infrastructure - system, facilities, and the network.

Gate.com's system is to have each customer's website hosted by a server cluster, or an array of servers, rather than just one as is traditionally the case with most shared web hosts.

Gate.com calls its data center the "Fort Knox" of such facilities, with top of the line fire detection and suppression technology, redundant backup power supplies, and ample physical security measures (both trained personnel and superior monitoring and biometric technologies.

As for the network no matter what part of the connection process - the server, the core, the internet, the end user - Gate.com goes what they self-mockingly deem "ridiculous" lengths to make sure every single transmission is as fast and uninterrupted as every other. Those lengths being redundant, state of the art hardware at every step of the way.
Control Panel
Gate.com web-based control panel allows you to manage and maintain your site and Gate.com account from any computer anywhere in the world.
Customer Support
Committed to prompt, knowledgeable, and courteous customer support, Gate.com is available to answer your questions and help with any technical or administrative issues you may have, 24/7 365 through your control panel. They also host a widely visited Customer Forum and a searchable Knowledgebase for that do-it-yourself kind of customer support.
