Our
Technology
Cutting
edge technology puts you in front of the competition.
100%
Dell Servers 
We
use only 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.

Cisco Gigabit Network
Web
Hosting UKs 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 utilise's 100% CAT6 network cable, CAT6 cable
contains four pairs of copper wire and unlike CAT5, utilise's
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
Redhat
Enterprise Linux Platform
Redhat
is the leading provider of Linux open source software, for
many years now Redhat Linux has been the number one choice
for web hosting companies. Not just because of Redhats 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 Redhat server technology to allow
our servers to be continually up to date with Redhat system
& security patches.
Unlike
many of our competitors we run Redhat Enterprise Linux,
the most stable release of Redhat Linux available and the
only version that stays totally up to date with security
patches.
Connectivity
Web
Hosting UK operates 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 its final destination, this means that we
have been able to configure the network to always take the
fastest paths.
Web
Hosting UK will GUARANTEE you 99.9% uptime.
