Domain Name Search and Registration
Choosing, purchasing, and configuring a Domain Name can be a frustrating and time-consuming process. Let us do the dirty work for you.
Search
With so many websites out there, it is possible that the Domain Name you want may be taken. Some companies even purchase certain names and “park” them, hoping someone will pay a premium for them. We understand the ins and outs of finding the right name, and we are happy
to help you make sense of the process. Simply tell us what you are looking for, and we will let you know your options.
Registration
After conducting a domain name search, we will give you a list of available domain names. Once you decide, we can register your domain(s) and configure your website so that customers can find you.

Information About Our Hosting Servers
Network
To ensure our world class network, BWD exclusively utilizes Cisco hardware for robustness and reliability. Routing is handled with redundant hardware to protect against unforeseen problems.
Backbone connections are brought in to BWD over multiple fiber connections via sonet rings. Load balancing as well as fail-over redundancy across these connections is carried out with BGP v4. Bigfork Web Development also maintains strategic peering agreements with other large networks at multiple locations such as PAIX (Palo
Alto Internet eXchange) and CommIX (formerly Utah Rep). These peering agreements benefit all Bigfork Web Development customers by allowing their data to take a more direct route to its destination rather than meandering around the Internet before reaching its target.
BWD also offers the flexibility of “carrier neutral” fiber. This solution offers a client the security and redundancy of a world-class datacenter with the ability to use their own data network for transport.
Power
BWD makes use of a large, turbo diesel generator in combination with a next-generation UPS and automatic transfer switch system to provide steady, clean, hospital grade, uninterruptible electricity to our customers’ servers.
The generator is tested weekly and multiple fuel delivery contracts are in place to replenish fuel as needed for days or even weeks, if there is a long power outage.
Our data center can handle very dense concentrations of power. Most data centers are designed to supply 30 to 50 watts per square foot. The BWD Data Center is designed to supply 150 watts per square foot with an infrastructure built to handle up to 1.5 megawatts of total power consumption for the facility.
Environment
Your server might not tell you if it’s too hot, but it may not be as reliable if it doesn’t get proper cooling. Computers function best at mild temperatures and in a low-static atmosphere. The BWD Data Center is kept at 70° F year round. The collocation area employs an anti-static raised floor throughout to ensure that there aren’t any errant electrical discharges around your computers. The humidity is also kept at optimum levels to reduce static build up in the air. This keeps servers happier and functioning well.
Physical & Network Security
Security is a top concern at BWD. Your server is housed in a facility where only staff are allowed. Only BWD administrators have a key to fit these cabinets. All building access is logged and staff are onsite around the clock, monitoring through a network of cameras and other sensors. Routine security walkthroughs are also performed.
The connection to your server is also watched over. Should a sudden spike in activity occur, BWD technical staff is notified by automated monitoring software to check into the traffic just in case the server is fending off a malicious internet attack. Ask anyone who has tried to run a data room in their own offices and they’ll tell you about all the work and expertise it required. BWD experts take the worries out of maintaining the ideal environment for your data.
Backups
All of our servers are mirrored to other servers and off-site servers to ensure that our clients have the best uptime available. Also our off-site backups offer a means by which clients can recover data in the event they accidentally delete files off of their production server. The productions servers are mirrored every morning between 2:00am and 4:00am. All production data is burned to disk twice each month.
