The servers we use are housed in private racks within the London
Hosting Centre (LHC). LHC features world class resilient infrastructure,
including multiple levels of 24/7 security, stable high-capacity power
supplies, fire protection and environmental controls.
The network is fully redundant and has been built using the latest Juniper
routing hardware along with Cisco and HP switching equipment. Utilising VRRP
(Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) on our routers and rSTP (Rapid Spanning
Tree Protocol) on our switches, which along with duplicating all core
infrastructure provides hitless failover in case of a hardware failure to
ensure world-class uptimes. The company
who runs our servers take web hosting
seriously and understand that to provide a reliable and stable hosting
service, they need to use top quality hardware,
the
servers were custom built in-house using only
components from leading manufactures such as SuperMicro, Intel and Western
Digital.
They actively monitor the
equipment to ensure our servers run at optimum
performance, this is performed by a remote
monitoring server which is on a seperate network, monitoring service checks
are done every minute of the day, 24/7, in the
event of a service outage a member of technical support will be paged to
resolve the problem as quickly as possible.
Typical Server Specification
Once your website is live, we ensure that
your web site is available and online
for at least 99% of the time, this is
backed up by using a hardware RAID disk mirroring on our web
servers providing data redundancy. In the event of a hard drive
failure no data is lost and your site remains online, this
prevents hours of potential downtime.
