The Technology

Our installation includes only the best quality equipment, enabling us to provide a top performing and flexible web hosting service to our diverse range of clients .

Server Hardware
We use industrial strength web server equipment for performance and reliability including Intel Pentium and Sun Sparc based systems. All servers have dual processors, dual 100Mbit Ethernet adapters, a minimum of 1 gigabyte of memory and a server grade mainboard and chipset. Storage is spread across multiple Ultra 160 SCSI hard disk drives using Adaptec RAID controllers.

Operating System
We run UNIX based servers for maximum flexibility. Our UNIX machines are predominately FreeBSD based with Sun Solaris being used in some particularly high load situations.

Software
Time honoured software, with our own bespoke modifications and improvements powers our servers. UNIX installations include a web server derived from the popular Apache web server in conjunction with the powerful mySQL database server and qmail mail server.

Control Panel
Our industry leading web based control panel is the front end to our powerful server administration and management system to enable management of all aspects of our service with an unrivalled level of automation, allowing us to run our business with great efficiency and pass the cost savings on to our customers.

Data Backup
Every server on our network runs a RAID based disk redundancy solution, should any of the primary disk drives fail, a secondary disk drive can take over the work load with no loss of availability. In addition, our Doncaster based servers are also backed up to our Storagetek Timberwolf DLT library whilst our London based UNIX servers are backed up over gigabit ethernet to a backup server in a separate data centre.

We are committed to long-term customer satisfaction, this means keeping a pace with current developments within the industry. We are constantly seeking ways to improve and progress our service and welcome any suggestions from clients.
