100% Dell Servers
We only use Dell servers in
our web hosting platform,
utilising state-of-the-art
technology we have built a web
hosting platform that is second
to none.
Our platform is designed in
such a way that if any server
fails another server
automatically and without delay
takes over that servers workload.
For example if one of our mail
servers were to break down,
another server would
automatically come online, with
all the correct configuration and
take over the work of the failed
server, in this period no email
would be lost.
As well as this, all data is
stored in two large network disk
arrays, data is automatically
synchronised between the arrays
so that in the event of an array
failing the remaining array
continues to serve data to the
servers with no downtime.

100% Cisco Gigabit
Network
Our network operates on
industry leading network
equipment from Cisco Systems, all
our switches and routers are
developed by Cisco. Our network
is based on gigabit technology
which means that it runs at a
speed of 1000 Mb per second, most
web hosting networks are limited
to 100 Mb per second.
Our network also utilises 100%
CAT6 network cable, CAT6 cable
contains four pairs of copper
wire and unlike CAT5, utilises
all four pairs. CAT6 supports
Gigabit (1000 Mbps) Ethernet and
supports communications at more
than twice the speed of CAT5e,
the other popular standard for
Gigabit Ethernet cabling.
Centos Enterprise 5.2 on
the Linux Platform
Centos is the leading provider
of Linux open source software,
for many years now Centos Linux
has been the number one choice
for web hosting companies. Not
just because of Centos's amazing
scalability but also because of
its track record as the most
stable operating system available
in the market today.
Our systems utilise the latest
Centos server technology to allow
our servers to be continually up
to date with Centos system &
security patches.
Unlike many of our competitors
we run Centos Enterprise Linux,
the most stable release available
and the only version that stays
totally up to date with security
patches.
Connectivity
We operate a multi-homed
network utilising BGP4
technology, simply put we have
multiple connections to the
Internet with different backbone
providers, should any connection
fail our other connections
automatically take all the
traffic. Not only does this mean
that we are very unlikely to lose
connectivity to the Internet but
it also means that traffic moving
to and from our network can
choose from a range of paths to
get to it's final destination,
this means that we have been able
to configure the network to
always take the fastest
paths.
