A Secure Web Hosting Environment

Anyone implementing a website needs to utilise a reliable web hosting platform. Nothing erodes customer confidence more than deciding to visit a company's web site only to find that it is unavailable. If you choose to host your web site with us, you are assured that it will be housed in a secure professional web hosting environment protected by high levels of physical security, redundant internet connections and power supplies, all designed to ensure that your website benefits from the maximum possible uptime. All our web sites are now housed in the "London Data Centre" situated in the heart of London Docklands.

Multiple Route Internet Connections

It is vital that any professional web hosting environment provides multiple redundant Internet connections preferably using different service providers, so that in the event that loss of Internet connectivity at any single point then the web hosting environment remains unaffected and web hosting servers continue to function as normal. All of our servers benefit from multiple route redundant high speed Internet connections that protect them from single point of failure service interruptions helping to maximise server uptime and increasing response capability. The server environment is based on a 100 Mb network backbone.

VESD & FM200 Fire Suppression

The web hosting server environment is protected by very early smoke detection equipment, coupled with a waterless FM200 based fire suppression system which neutralizes fires before any significant damage can be caused by smoke or fire generated heat. The FM200 system is an environmentally friendly non ozone damaging fire suppression system that combats fires by quickly removing the heat from the fire source and chemically interrupting the combustion process. The extremely high speed of this system in detecting and combating any type of combustion means that any threat can be eliminated before significant disruption is experienced.

Physical Security & Data Backups

The web hosting environment is protected by 24 X 7 multi layered physical security which protects our servers and your web sites from intruders and unauthorized physical access. The building is protected by on-site security guards, CCTV and alarm systems that provide a fortress like environment for our web hosting servers.

Daily backups ensure that in the unlikely event of multiple point server failures and loss of data not already protected by data mirroring technology that we can recover your website data with the minimum disruption to your website's availability.

Multiple UPS & Generator Power Backup

Obviously brown outs surges and service disruptions are a major hazard for any server hosting environment. All our we hosting servers are protected by a multiple UPS (uninterruptible power supply/battery backup) system that protects all our web hosting equipment from power surges and brief periods of power loss. In the event of longer periods of power loss, backup electrical generators located inside the building take over until the normal power supply is resumed, thus ensuring that all servers and hosted web sites stay active during the service disruption period.

Web Hosting & Email Packages To Suit Your Budget

We offer an extensive range of web hosting and email packages that can be tailor made to match your exact requirements. All our web hosting accounts come with complimentary e-mail accounts based on your chosen domain names.
