HostGator provides the user a unique network speed and capacity, which helps in eliminating bandwidth, traffic jams and roadblocks to assure rapid response to the hosted servers and applications. With the help of multiple 1-Tier telecommunications products and service providers including AT&T, NTT and AboveNet, HostGator provides more than 250 Gbps of transit and peering capacity along with n numbers of private peering networks. Every data centers located in Dallas, Houston and London use their network Points of Presences (POPs), and with the help of dedicated POPs in Virginia and California, it provides a global reach. Therefore, it helps in lowering down the latency of network bottlenecks for the hosted servers.
The World class Features of HostGator’s Network include the following:
With no single point of failure, it provides full redundant network architecture.
It provides industry-leading 250+ gigabits/second of network bandwidth capacity.
Network security are ensured in multiple layers
Centralized network are monitored in the Network Operations Center (NOC)
Bandwidth providers constitute multiple concurrent, high-capacity Tier 1 architectures.
Network POPs are provided across 5 cities and 2 continents of the world.
Optional Content Delivery Network is having 13 distribution different nodes that are located in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
Network Architecture
HostGator designs the parallel and multi-tier architecture. It also provides the best network routing and switching infrastructures in the industry. HostGator’s network operates without a single points of failure and performs the complete redundancy across multiple layers of architecture, that contains redundant core routers, core distribution switches and carrier diversity,

HostGator’s Multiple-Layer Network Security
HostGator extends network reliability and performance to the next hierarchical level. It maximizes the network security protection against DDoS attacks that could harm user’s business by adding Cisco Guard XT appliances and Arbor Peakflow protection. HostGator combines cutting-edge security technology; best practices and a team of certified senior-level professionals to ensure that user can safely manage and grow their business by taking its help. The administrator manages and secures company’s networks, pinpoints and troubleshoots company’s network attacks, monitors their servers and applications, and analyzes network security performance issues by using HostGator’s state-of-the-art traffic profiling and anomaly detection capabilities.
DDoS Attack Response
Whenever a DDos attack is detected and confirmed by the Network Operations Center, the DDoS Mitigation Service routes the affected traffic towards its services. Thus, it filters out the attacked traffic and allows the legal traffic to continue to its original destination. Until the attack has not been subsided, the original direct path between the destination and the rest of the Internet cannot be restored.
HostGator’s Network Operations Center (NOC)
HostGator offers 24 hours per day of a year (24 X 7 X 365) redundant monitoring capabilities from the server-oriented response centers located in each city, and simultaneously it also offers centralized network monitoring from the Network Operations Center (NOC). The NOC has Cisco-certified technical support on duty for rapidly responding to the network problem at 24 X 7. In the case of natural disaster that could affect HostGator’s headquarters facility in Houston, the NOC is able to transfer operations into another location before the disaster actually manifests the servers.
It invests state-of-the-art network monitoring software, combined with highly defined monitoring and escalation procedures to ensure the highest standards for security, reliability, performance and systems availability.
The NOC Staff Monitors the following:
Their redundant network core servers are all located in HostGator’s data centers. If a router or high-level network appliance goes down for any reason, there is no loss of service
The multiple cross-connections are there in between their data centers. If any multi-gigabit connection becomes unavailable, then the traffic automatically re-routes to the remaining connections. No data center can have less than two connections.
The speed and performance of its network routes is analyzed and optimized when it is necessary.
