According to WebHostingBuzz's Thursday announcement, the move will allow the budget, business and reseller hosting provider to safeguard its network of servers and their data, as well as improving network performance and reliability for its current customers including Shopzilla and Dominos Pizza, and more than 300,000 websites.

"We are always looking to stay ahead of the curve with our web hosting technology," WebHostingBuzz chief operating officer Matt Russell said in a statement. "Our private hosting cage allows us to expand our business securely without overloading our servers or compromising our uptime. This means our customers will not have to suffer from hosting downtime or slowness through any growth we experience as a company."

Moving into a private hosting cage is a major step for many hosting providers, allowing a host like WebHostingBuzz to expand services and deliver "on its commitments to provide unparalleled hosting security and reliability in its class," according to the company's announcement.

Atlanta NAP chief executive officer Jeff Hinkle said, "The WebHostingBuzz facility here at AtlantaNAP will help them grow securely and reliably in the future. They have plenty of room here, so I don't expect they'll be overloading servers anytime soon."

Atlanta NAP features Hot Standby Router Protocol, a Cisco-developed redundancy protocol for providing a fault-tolerant default gateway, used to provide redundant Internet and network connections to private cages. HSRP creates a framework between network routers to achieve default gateway failover if the primary gateway becomes inaccessible.

Also, in October, AtlantaNAP doubled its cooling capacity from 1,000 tons to 2,000 tons with the addition of two new cooling towers, preparing it for its final phase of Tier 2 and 3 construction that will add 22,500 sq.ft of floor space.
