MojoHost, Leader in Quality Adult Hosting
Hello Everyone,
It's been a long while since we've done any press releases or announcements so this is WAY overdue! With eight years in adult myself and five and a half years of specializing in quality adult hosting I am very excited to be announcing many enhancements to our service and reintroducing our company to those of you who may be new or unfamiliar with MojoHost. There is an awful lot of smoke and mirrors in various competitors marketing and we are proud to be leader in our community that always "tells it like it is."
Below is a company overview with a lot of technical information. I want to invite everyones questions about our service and hosting in general, as an owner of an online business this is a subject that of great value to you. Whether you ultimately choose MojoHost or another provider I am always happy to be of assistance in any way possible.
Thank you all in advance to those who take the time to read on and post any questions or comments.
Sincerely,
Brad Mitchell, CEO
MojoHost

Our Mission: To seek out only the most qualified internet companies, convert them to customers, provide them with the highest quality managed hosting experience ? and be the last host they?ll ever need.
Sophisticated and Resilient Network
MojoHost achieves stellar network diversity by direct connections and relationships with eight global networks and a total of forty-four (44) gigabit connectivity. MojoHost has direct contractual relationships with every carrier and does not buy from bandwidth brokers, resellers or aggregators for it?s 44 Gigabit of connectivity. The current roster of carriers includes Level3 (1G), Hurricane Electric (10G), TeliaSonera (10G), PCCW Global (1G), Cogent (1G), Tiscali (10G), Telecom Italia (10G) and Global Crossing (1G). MojoHost?s strategic choice of location, the NAP of the Americas®, provides robust peering fabric access to which MojoHost has two gigabit connections. Current in-facility direct peering relationships with global networks include: Google, Verisign, Akamai, Yahoo, Init7, Comsat, Peer1 and Limelight with over a dozen additional connections in process and a total of over 60 (and growing) possible.
With a more than a half million dollar investment in network devices from Cisco, Internap and Dell, MojoHost delivers what most would consider to be the finest possible bandwidth product in every respect. Our network design is thoughtful and incorporates ?best practices? throughout. We utilize two Cisco Catalyst 6509s for core routing and switching. This significant investment is complete with Cisco?s newest SUP720-3BXL supervisor modules, 10G line cards, 1G fiber line cards and 1G copper cards. MojoHost is constantly in the process of expanding global visibility with additional carriers and capacity. We incorporates a flawless design which has carrier links divided between Core routers, allowing for every failure scenario. With a two-tier network architecture all client servers connect via gigabit link to a distribution switch which has multiple uplinks to each Core. Because distribution switches are multi-homed, a complete Core failure never disrupts traffic flow to client servers.
Most hosting enterprises rely on simplistic BGP and interface up/down logic for connectivity. This type of design is flawed, basically useless, because it relies completely on carriers to identify all of their local and global network problems. MojoHost has incorporated the Internap FCP 5200 into it?s network infrastructure to guarantee the highest quality bandwidth product. By using optical fiber taps or NetFlow on every carrier connection, this device sits out of line and watches all packets coming in and out of the MojoHost network. This device also does constant round-trip checks to all significant end destinations (surfer networks) and is able to measure packet loss, latency, and jitter to every destination over all connected carriers. The end result is that MojoHost is automatically able to see network problems locally or across the world and automatically change it?s routing policies to put it?s traffic on the best possible path. The logic behind being well connected to so many global networks is simple - it increases exposure, path diversity and presents the opportunity for route optimization which we are able to enjoy by utilizing the Internap device. MojoHost is of the belief that all carriers, regardless of the rates they sell connectivity for, have good and bad parts of their network, are prone to error locally or globally, literally have ?good days? and ?bad days? and that every carrier added brings additional value to MojoHost?s premium, blended bandwidth.
World Class Data Center
MojoHost conducted an exhaustive nationwide data center search in 2006 to meet it?s ever growing demands for growth and quality of infrastructure. MojoHost is a company focused on delivering the absolute best managed hosting and nothing else. Our experience with hosting since 1999 has taught us that there is significant value in a top quality datacenter environment. As a result, we specifically eliminated data center acquisition not due to expense, it is actually cheaper to buy or lease one of the hundreds of empty ones built during the boom, but based on our goal of being the most sophisticated managed host out there with a superb infrastructure. As a result, we have all the benefits of professional site management and a half billion dollar site build-out and are simply left with managing our cage space, racks and servers.
After extensive research and site visits, CEO Brad Mitchell chose Terremark's flagship facility, the NAP of the Americas®, one of the most significant telecommunications projects in the world. This state-of-the-art Network Access Point (NAP) located in Miami, Florida, provides highly secure and reliable Facility Services including Colocation and Peering, Managed Services. The NAP of the Americas® was the first purpose-built, carrier-neutral NAP and is the only facility of its kind specifically designed to link Latin America with the rest of the world. The global significance of this site has given MojoHost has the ability to connect with dozens of global Tier One networks directly within this facility.
The client list for this data center is a who?s-who of Fortune 500 companies, US and Foreign governments, international telecommunications carriers and even the US Department of Defense Southern Command. Few sites nationwide can actually compare themselves to this data center and as a result, demand has both space and power at a more premium rate. MojoHost serves companies that insist upon good value but appreciate that the safety, security, cooling, connectivity and power redundancy of a data center is of paramount importance and at the very heart of how good hosting is born.
Mission-Critical Support
MojoHost employs only the most talented systems administrators full time. MojoHost does not outsource any technical support to any other companies or employees residing outside the United States. The MojoHost promise is 100% customer satisfaction and in managed hosting we believe that is only accomplished by hiring bright, hard-working, good communicating super geeks that work with drive and get the job done. We pay our employees well, provide a full suite of tangible benefits and aim to make this a life-long career choice for each and every employee by continually rewarding great performance. MojoHost support currently operates in two shifts, from 8am-12midnight and has rotating on-call and backup for emergencies between midnight and 8am EST. MojoHost also has complete remote-hands and smart-hands assistance 24/7/365 from Terremark. MojoHost?s customer commitment is an unrelenting 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. As such, all employees and owners carry company cell phones and have their contact information available to all clients.
Quality Server Assets
Through it?s strategic relationship with Dell and Dell Financial Services, MojoHost is continually the first to market with leading edge server technology. With over a million dollars in server hardware we build solutions for every size client with ease and proficiency. Our relationship with Dell allows access to an entire team of finance, storage, network, server and software specialists when research is required. Servicing servers already in use is effortlessly accomplished with MojoHost?s hardware standardization policies and large spare part and spare server inventory.
