We bring the infrastructure and the peace of mind your application and your customers deserve.

When it comes to Software as a Service (SaaS) applications and hosting them, the hosting architecture, and the support behind it, are king. They play a significant role in how your app perform online, and can even differentiate it based on performance alone – seeing how your customers’ online experience largely determines the success of your product. Whether you are a seasoned Software as a Service provider or an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) making the move to an Internet distribution model, downtime, latency and non-responsive or lacklustre technical support are non-negotiable. They are SaaS killers.

Because some of our largest customers started as small SaaS ventures, PEER 1 Hosting has focused on understanding the architecture and support needs of the industry. Finding smarter, more reliable and faster methods for delivering apps via the web has become second nature for us. Which is why our proprietary 10Gbps FastFiber Network™ and 18 global data centres, and all the experts overseeing them, are so critical to what matters most–your end users experiencing your SaaS application the way you intended.

Your Software as a Service hosting infrastructure is no longer a worry. It becomes a competitive differentiator with PEER 1 Hosting.
