Network Infrastructure and Data Centers


An important, yet frequently overlooked, consideration when choosing a Web and Email Hosting Provider is the quality and physical location of its network infrastructure.

With SGHost, we understand the importance of network uptime because whenever the network is down, you are losing revenue, business opportunities and confidence of your customers and site visitors. Therefore we invested in enterprise-grade hardware and first-grade network to ensure your sites perform smoothly and quickly

SGHost has currently established direct network peering in Singapore with tier 1 network providers – Singtel, PCCW and M1, thus making us one of the best connected hosting provider in Asia.
