We also provide the computer hardware, software, network technology, and systems management necessary to offer our customers comprehensive outsourced e-Business hosting solutions, 24x7.

Through its state-of-the-art 3,200 sq. ft. Network Operations Center in Phoenix, STG offers the following hosting services:

• Shared Hosting – Shared hosting is web site hosting for multiple companies on STG-owned servers. The servers, disk space, peripherals, routers, and telecommunications bandwidth is shared among many different web sites and companies. STG manages all aspects of the shared hosting, but the client retains responsibility for maintaining the web site itself. Shared hosting is typically used for corporate “brochureware” type sites and simple, low volume e-commerce sites.
  
  
• Co-location – Co-location is the rental of space in our Network Operations Center to clients who wish to place their servers there. STG provides the space in the Network Operations Center, electricity (including backup UPS power and generators), HVAC, physical security, and connection to telecommunications carriers. The client is responsible for all maintenance of the servers and contracting for telecommunications bandwidth.
  
  
• Managed Services – As a Managed Service Provider, STG provides web site hosting services to businesses and organizations implementing complex, mission-critical web sites and web-based applications. STG provides the computer hardware, software, network technology, and systems management necessary to offer its customers comprehensive outsourced e-Business hosting solutions in a 24x7 operation. These operations can be using dedicated STG-owned servers or client-owned servers in a co-location arrangement. STG performs all services including system administration, hardware and network incident resolution, backups and off-site storage, disaster recovery, and technical help desk support. Managed Services is a complete outsourcing solution for clients who do not wish to operate data centers or are unable to attract and retain the technical staff to operate and support operations.

• Bandwidth – For our shared hosting and co-location clients, we are able to provide as little or as much shared or dedicated bandwidth as required.  We have multiple, redundant connections with different carriers to provide for maximum availability and performance.

In addition, we provide technical support services in areas such as network design and architecture, capacity and performance planning and analysis, database selection and optimization, and security and firewall implementation.
