Using a combination of Tier 1 upstream providers and peering give us a strategic advantage over other networks. Peering is for all of us who want their server to be available without downtime. Hosting companies typically rely on Tier 1 connectivity, but we have a strategic advantage by offering aggressive peering strategies. Peering involves two networks coming together to exchange traffic with each other freely. By doing so, costs are lower and you get increased capacity and control for extremely large amounts of traffic. How do we do it? We're connected to 500 networks to give you the absolute fastest, most reliable, high performing network available anywhere. You get to experience tremendously improved performance from your server, network, and traffic. Since we actively pursue peer-to-peer relationships with remote networks, we bypass third party networks that would otherwise reside in between. That means routing and connection speeds are improved. And since PEER 1 directly manages the relationships with remote networks, we troubleshoot issues directly with the network in question, instead of relying on third party NOCs. Otherwise, it would take hours to get an issue resolved instead of minutes.

PEER 1's SuperDNS service hosts your domain name on a fail-safe, fully redundant distributed environment giving you faster performance, tighter security, and 100% uptime over the Internet. Through SuperDNS, your DNS traffic is balanced across multiple name servers located in each geographically distributed PEER 1 data centre throughout North America and Europe. With PEER 1's proprietary RapidEdge Technology platform and IP Anycast Routing, SuperDNS seamlessly routes users to the closest name server to resolve DNS requests. By doing so, SuperDNS dramatically decreases latency, and increases performance and uptime. The result is a far better user experience. SuperDNS is also your best protection against network failures, natural disasters and DDoS attacks directed toward your domain name services.

Peering results in increased control over your traffic by reducing dependencies on one or more transit providers, which includes Tier 1's. You get improved performance and faster times by bypassing potential bottlenecks often associated with Tier 1 providers. And in most cases, Tier 1 providers have remote destination networks, resulting in hours of trying to reach a support technician. That could mean serious downtime for your server. Peering improves the perception of the network. The more traffic you offload to peers instead of transit, the closer you get to the Tier 1 rung (typically set at 80%). We're not saying Tier 1's are bad. What we're saying is if a provider solely relies on a Tier 1 network, they have no backbone, and simply have a set of standalone core routers. They are totally reliant on dealing with internet routing issues by escalating issues with their Tier 1 providers' NOCs, which can take hours and sometimes days to resolve issues. And they have no recourse to use a backbone or peering strategy to circumvent the issue.
