About Us

Now in our 11th Year of Service! Bella Mia, Inc. is a Privately held Corporation in the State of Wisconsin. We incorporated in April of 1997 to begin providing Internet access and web hosting solutions locally and world wide.

It's hard to believe we started our business from a home, nearly 7 miles from the nearest Telecommunications Central Office with just a Fractional T1 and one server.

Since those early days our company has grown to include several different areas of business in the Internet arena. And our Network has grown to include several DS3, Fiber and GigE connections to multiple providers.

Today, all of us here at Bella Mia remain committed to maintaining our reputation for outstanding technical excellence and service. We will continue to innovate and expand our network to meet the ever growing demands of our customers. We want you to feel like you are part of our family.

In the fall of 99 we opened our new colocation facility and Internet connected business park in Lake Geneva, Wi. Our new facility is the home of our base operations and NOC (Network Operations Center) . In 2001 we expanded our server room to double its size and added redundant cooling systems. In 2002 we added a 3 DS3s to SBC, in building wireless for our visitors and tenants, and Cisco 7xxx Series Routers with redundant power supplies and redundant processors. In 2006 we increased our HVAC, Power and added a GigE Fiber Link to Time Warner. 2007 has brought another 40 tons of cooling, increased fiber capacity through AT&T, an additonal Cisco Router and our phase 3 server room expansion project. We even took time out to remodle our offices with new paint, carpet, and art work.

2008 brougt the addition of another redundant cooling system, doubled UPS capacity, and the move to 100% rack mounted 1 and 2 U Systems to concerve power and space.  We also added green power supplies and other green architecture to our current network and servers.  As we close out 2008 we do so with a 68% increase in growth, increased network capacity, a complete remodel of our sales offices, reception, conference and kitchen faclities and finally the sale of our Wireless Company DSLone founded in 1999. Recession or not, 2008 proved to be our biggest growth year ever. 2009 is starting out to be just as busy!

We currently host over 1000 Internet servers on various platforms from around the world. Our hosting and reseller servers host over 75,000 web sites from all parts of the globe. Some of our current customers include, the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations), The University of Florida, Aircraft Manufacturers,Software Developers and several Major Web Host Resellers and secure data providers.

Our NOC is connected via multiple Fiber/Ethernet to AT&T and TimeWarner. Our 100% switched, Cisco Routed Network runs BGP4 (Border Gateway Protocol) for redundancy to insure that our network is running at 99.998% uptime. We have our own ASN and IP Space and as such are completely autonomous.

Green Programs and Activities: HostDrive.Com currently hosts in an environmentally friendly location with 2/3rds of our facilities property covered in trees and plant life.  Our servers utilize green power supplies and lower power CPUs to reduce our carbon footprint.  Our office use compact fluorescent lighthing and other low carbon emitting devices to reduce our overall carbon output and keep our environment safe for future generations to come.
