3Essentials receives more new customers every month via word of mouth than all of our advertising efforts combined.
3Essentials is owned by 3Essentials, Inc. We are not a subsidiary of a larger company.
3Essentials is a profitable company. We were not started with venture capital so we do not have a debt to repay.

Locations
Our carrier-neutral datacenters are located in Raleigh, NC and Dallas, TX.

Datacenter Security
At 3Essentials Hosting security is a top priority. Both of our datacenters have 24 x 7 x 365 on-site staff to tackle issues at any time. Our datacenter has a 5 Factor Physical Access control system in place: Card Key, Biometric and PIN access, Physical ID check in and held key access to cabinets and cages.

Both of our datacenters also have intrusion detection systems to prevent unauthorized electronic access and more than 100 internal & external video cameras (90 day video storage)

Tier 1 Providers
3Essentials Hosting has multiple Tier 1 providers at both datacenter locations. We make sure that our network is optimized for performance and reliability to all of our providers.

Border Network
We use the redundancy of BGP enhanced by the Internap 5200 flow control platform (FCP). This multicarrier intelligent routing appliance identifies the absolute fastest route across Internet backbones, improving performance 15 to 25 percent. In addition, we use 10 gigabit Ethernet connections from all providers, minimizing congestion. Our datacenter's fully redundant Cisco architecture uses Layer 3 6509 switches.

Fire Supression and Power
All of our locations have fire suppression systems. Both of our datacenters have A/B power redundancy with up to 12.5 MW of utility power. Multiple diesel generators allow for continuous and uninterrupted power in the event of a power outage. All generators and backup systems are tested bi-weekly and routinely ran at full load in order to ensure proper functionality. All service entrances from utility providers utilize diverse transformers; automatic transfer switches (ATS), UPS, generators and PDUs.

Equipment Provider
At this present time all of our hardware is purchased directly from our preferred vendors.

Shared Server Platform
While we do not disclose the exact specifications of our equipment, we ensure that all hardware purchased for our shared platform meets or exceeds industry standard equipment. We procure only top-end hardware for all shared servers to ensure that performance, reliability, and quality is maintained. The types of software utilized for our platform can be found on our shared server plan pages.

Virtualization Platform
Our virtualization platform is based off of Microsoft's Hyper-V Hypervisor. All virtual systems are located on top end host systems that are not overbooked. No hardware resources are shared between our virtual systems (all resources provisioned for a virtual system will always belong to that virtual system).

Dedicated Servers
All of our dedicated servers are purchased directly from our preferred vendors. While we have many dedicated servers readily available, at times we may be out of a certain type of configuration

After 3 gruelling weeks trying unsuccessfully to set up our small but critical website with unresponsive email-only support from WinHost, we switched to 3Essentials. No canned responses here. Such a contrast. Within a few hours spread over 2 days, the site was up and running faster than at WinHost. The support team worked through the myriad config issues (among many others!) with unfailing politeness, patience, professionalism, and downright HELPFULNESS in every case - as did sales. We are [...]

I have been with 3essentials for more four years, it is the worst experience ever! I've not been able to receive emails in my inbox for more than a year, and I'm not able to access my email account when I'm overseas, whether it's in Japan, China, US or in any of the countries in Europe, and I've been writing to them for more than a year asked for help, they practically ignored it. I had to set up another account for forwarding all the emails, oddly enough all the emails arrived in my forwarding [...]

Shawn ( bananalover@g... )
Not having owned a website for a few years now, I searched around and did my homework before picking a new host. I landed on 3Essentials and have been very happy with them.

I wanted a company I could pay on a monthly basis because I didn't have a lot of money at the time, but I wanted to get started as soon as possible. It's a little more expensive to pay monthly, but if you want to pay by the year or by two years you'll save a great deal. Having now tested them out for awhile now, I'll [...]

Technical support is outstanding. They address issues immediately and put in a continuous effort to resolve problems. They were in touch on almost an hourly basis over the New Year's holiday weekend, all day and in the wee hours of the night, until an issue was resolved.

I started off with a "larger" hosting company, and within a matter of 24 hours I realized I made a mistake. 3essentials has been my saving grace! Every aspect of the process has been wonderful. From picking my hosting package, to setting up the site. This is truly a user friendly service!

3Essentials would like to take this opportunity to provide the facts regarding the Tropicalboat.com rating. 3Essentials did not make any changes to this customer account. Furthermore, we have documented proof via our log files that shows the owner of the site, or someone the owner gave access to, enabled a feature on their PLESK control panel that enabled this java re-direct.

As confirmed by the customer (after the posting of this rating), once 3Essentials was made aware of a problem with [...]

BUSINESSES BEWARE!!! I am the owner of Miami yacht charter company (www.tropicalboat.com). In September this year we outsourced our web hosting to 3Essentials. As we learned (a very hard way) the company used a javascript as a redirect to our main "index" page. Since search engines can not follow this, we were dropped nearly instantly from ALL search engines - there went our thousands of hours and dollars put into search engine optimization! Just like this.. gone! Prior to this we were on the [...]
