Globat's new B² Advanced Hosting Platform features the redundancy and reliability found only at top-level Data Centers. B² is capable of distributing various areas and functions of your website across multiple servers; each one manages a different application for optimum performance. Other hosting companies run numerous applications on one server, thus increasing the likelihood of failure. B² is exactly something we like the most.
