When you host your venture with Emagine Engine, your site enjoys maximum connectivity, on-site engineers, backup generators, multi-stage security, and optimized servers operated below maximum load. So whether you're venture is serious or not so much, your hosting most definitely is.
The Optimum Location
Emagine Engine's servers are located at the Telecom Center carrier hotel in downtown Los Angeles, one of the best places in the world to host your venture.
Located for Connectivity
Telecom Center LA is a classic building on the corner of 6th and Grand in the heart of the "Telecom District." Along South Grand Avenue runs the main corridor for optical fiber cable, making this the prime location for connectivity.
Next Door to One Wilshire
The Telecom Center LA building is next door to the One Wilshire Building, another classic building which happens to be the largest carrier hotel in the Western United States. It's less than 500 linear feet to the One Wilshire "Meet-me Room," which makes for broad connectivity and high-bandwidth service through the leading carriers.
