We only use
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 server’s
workload. For example, if one of our mail servers breaks down another server
automatically comes online, with all the correct configuration, and takes over
the work of the failed server. During this period no email is 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.
Strong Data Backup
Our network arrays operate RAID, a way of configuring a system so a disk can fail
with no impact to data. As explained above we also operate our network arrays in
mirrored pairs so a whole array can fail with no impact. Each array is also backed
up each night to a separate backup cluster which is then written to tape and stored
offsite.
Our backup procedure goes above and beyond the majority of web hosting companies.
Web Hosting Infrastructure
The following diagram represents our web hosting infrastructure.
Our current server specification is:
- Dual Quad Core Intel® Xeon® 3.16GHz with 2X6MB Cache
- 8 GB RAM
- Dual 136 GB SCSI Drive (for the operating system)
- RAID Mirroring (for the operating system)
- Dual Power Supplies
- Dual Gigabit Network Adapters
100% 
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, which 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, which is the
other popular standard for Gigabit Ethernet cabling.
Our backup procedure goes above and beyond the majority of web hosting companies.
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 Redhat’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 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 keeps completely 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 its final destination. This means that we have been able to configure the
network always to take the fastest paths.
