A relatively young new company it is now into its third year, Drift2 aims to meet the criteria of its clients offering them affordable web hosting solutions. There servers are located in California and are monitored by Microsoft certified engineers, There system administrators strive to make sure the servers are up and running all the time and that they are running only the latest software versions available. There data centre is highly stable and secure and has back up generator which ensure the server never goes down, this is the reason behind the guarantee of 99.9% up-time.
