Why a partnership?

It's not very difficult to set up a datacenter today. For anything from $200 to $5,000 someone can build or buy a server. For another $25 to $1,000  a month they can hook that server up to the internet. That's all you need to call yourself a datacenter. A bad datacenter, but a datacenter all the same.

Calla Lily Networks, LLC doesn't do this. We've partnered with Texas based company, The Planet, to bring you a top-of-the-line datacenter sitting on one of the internet's main trunk routes. The Planet doesn't have just one server connected to the internet--take a look at some of what they have to offer:

Facilities

• Multiple TXU electrical grids
• 4800 volts of input power
• 3 main transfer switches
• 1-megawatt generator (2000-gallon tank)
• 1.5-megawatt generator (2200-gallon tank)
• DataTrax monitoring software for all data center infrastructure
• (21) 26-ton Data Air AC units
• Pre-action dry pipe sprinkler system
• Over 500 smoke detectors in an integrated system
• Simplex security badge entry/exit on all doors to facility

Thousands of servers and nearly a dozen of the highest speed lines the internet has to offer, from multiple carriers, gives us reliability and performance that can't be matched by a homemade server and DSL line sitting in a closet. Do you know what your host uses?

Who is Host Gator?

Our ISP (Internet Service Provider), Host Gator, is an established player in the web hosting industry. In order to interface with a datacenter the size of The Planet requires a large commitment. Host Gator has direct control over 850 servers at The Planet, and they're adding more all the time. More importantly Host Gator provides the server software and maintenance that your site will need to be accessible, efficient and support the latest technologies on the world wide web.

So why do I need Calla Lily Networks, LLC hosting?

It's true you could go directly to Host Gator and get one of their inexpensive shared hosting accounts. But do you want to configure your server, or set up your email accounts? Do you know how to upload your website onto a web server? Chances are you don't have time to learn and do these things yourself and that is why you're working with Calla Lily Networks, LLC in the first place. We know our business so you can focus on yours.

To make things specific to your business Host Gator specializes in reseller hosting. Reseller hosting allows them to market their software expertise to knowledgeable web masters and programmers who understand the needs of their clients. These people can then handle the set-up, maintenance and basic support of websites so Host Gator can focus on software and hardware and not on taking phone calls. This keeps costs down for everyone and increases customer satisfaction.

Middle Men?

I apologize if all this sounds convoluted to you. Simply put, it all boils down to this:

The Planet is a Multi-Million dollar datacenter that supplies the hardware and the bandwidth pipelines.

Host Gator is a respected ISP that supplies, manages and even writes state-of-the-art server software.
