Got Canyons was started with the simple idea of starting a site and serving some videos that I had created on the internet. During the initial phase of Got Canyons we were hosted on a shared platform such as startlogic Godaddy ECT.  As the site grew and the amount of videos that I had created increased. It was apparent that such large hosts were not suitable for our site.

The question is why were they unsuitable? Quite simply it was storage space and quality of data transfer. When your site is running on a server that includes 300-700 other sites your data transfer will suffer.

When this began to happen Got Canyons went in search of an alternative to the shared platform type hosting.  What we discovered was VPS type server. During this second phase of Got Canyons which began Aug 2005.  During this time Got Canyons had started to host other sites along with our own site,

As time went on. Another discovery was made. That discovery being even a VPS type platform can be "oversold"  This time however it was not data transfer (since VPS had a 2 Mbps connection).  It became a fight for server resources such as MYSQL and CPU with the other VPS located on the main dedicated server.

Got Canyons has begun its 3rd phase which takes us away from the VPS type server to a dedicated server. This phase beginning on Feb 2006. Meaning Got Canyons does not share any resources with any other clients.

Going thru all of these phases has been a great experience and we have learned a lot. About hosting sites and running web servers. We at Got Canyons are excited that we can bring our experience to others that wish to place a presence on the internet.

Our goal is simple and will always stay with us and that goal is:

To Assure The Strongest Presence for Any Site Located On Our Server.

GotCanyons.net (our pride and Joy) is placed upon the same server as your site.  We can guarantee that your site will be as important as Got Canyons in the respect of clean data transfer and server response.
