100TB’s main selling point is the technology behind its hosting, including its network, owned data centers, hardware, security (including DDOS protection) and automation.
Network & Data Centers
100TB’s network is extremely impressive, and because they own seven of their own data centers they have the expertise to back it up. Coupled with their partnership with SoftLayer, they have servers in 27 different locations around the world:

Security
In addition to all the usual security precautions (physical and biometric access requirements), 100TB offer 2-factor authentication, and enterprise grade hardware firewalls. 100TB is no slouch when it comes to protecting its services from DDoS either, with Arbor PeakFlow DDoS Protection.

It is difficult to guage whether 100TB’s users are satisfied, but the lack of complaints around the web seem promising. Certainly, there are some complaints on their other brands which does not bode well.
