ABOUT US
IWS Hosting is the web hosting subsidiary of Integrated Web Solutions. IWS Hosting was founded in 2003 as a subsidiary of Integrated Web Solutions, to provide superior web hosting services and connectivity at prices below those offered by the large telecoms and domain service providers while providing personalized support. IWS Hosting's goal of continual improvement and unmatched customer service has led us to phenomenal growth in our first years of business as we now serve over five hundred clients internationally. Over 90% of our new clients are gained through referral from current satisfied customers. This has led IWS Hosting to become Chicago's fastest growing web hosting company for four years running. We are firmly committed to providing web site hosting solutions that meet and exceed your expectations. We encourage you to review our shared web site hosting plans and select a package that’s right for you. If you need assistance, just contact us and we’ll be happy to help advise you or if applicable, craft a web site hosting solution that fits your specific needs. Our Datacenter Today, IWS Hosting maintains multiple dedicated servers in the Softlayer™ secure datacenter which has facilities throughout the United States. SoftLayer operates multiple data centers in Dallas, Seattle, and Washington D.C., built upon SoftLayer’s unique pod data center design concept. Our data centers are functionally independent with distinct and redundant resources, and fully integrated through SoftLayer’s revolutionary network architecture, allowing seamless intra-data center capabilities. IWS Hosting maintains direct control over our systems in any SoftLayer data center and we have full access to all of SoftLayer’s backend services—all fully automated and on demand. SoftLayer data centers are SAS 70 Type II Certified, meeting industry-recognized requirements for security and reliability. The exhaustive, third-party certification assessment included extensive testing of the control objectives and activities at all SoftLayer data center facilities, including oversight by executive management, operations and customer service, development and information technology organization, human resources policies and procedures, and risk assessment monitoring. Additionally, SoftLayer is self-certified with the U.S. Department of Commerce’s U.S.-European Union (EU) Safe Harbor framework, verifying that SoftLayer meets the EU’s adequacy standard for data and privacy protection. Self-certification and participation in the Safe Harbor framework is entirely voluntary. Softlayer's Dallas Facility SoftLayer Dallas is located inside the recognized Infomart telecom hotel, a private, N+1 facility near downtown Dallas. Infomart is home also to data centers belonging to MCI, Level 3®, Equinix, NTT America, Switch and Data, Verizon, and ViaWest.
