RELIABLE AND SECURE LINUX WEB HOSTING

Access to the data centers is protected 24 hours a day. In order to gain entry into the data center all guests must pass through two-factor authentication barriers. A Northern Proximity security badge is required for entry/exit on all data center doors in the facility. Shifts patrol the data center and facility area regularly, and motion-sensitive cameras throughout the facilities track all data center activity.

The Planet's six data centers located in Houston and Dallas has been certified by an independent auditor to be SAS 70 Type II compliant. By devoting substantial time and resources to a SAS 70 audit, The Planet assures you that our data center facilities (which we own and manage ourselves) meet the highest standards in guaranteeing the safety and security of your information technology.

The Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 70, Service Organizations, is an internationally recognized auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). A SAS 70 audit recognizes that a hosting provider such as The Planet has had an in-depth audit of its control activities conducted by an independent third-party auditor that includes a thorough review of all its controls over information technology and related processes. Passing a SAS 70 audit demonstrates to you, the customer, that we have established adequate controls and safeguards in hosting your data.
