UK Based
We host out of datacentres in the UK, closely peered to all of the UK internet exchanges and using two Tier 1 bandwidth providers.
Real People
Our technical support is all handled in-house from our head office in Staffordshire. Our support line goes through to actual system administrators, not phone menus.
Since '95
Since 1995, we have been providing innovative hosting solutions to a broad range of clients, delivering our unique blend of cutting-edge technology and great customer service, gaining us national recognition as one of the UK's premier hosting providers.
Double Up
Our experience shows us that no single piece of equipment is infallable. Our methodology is to deploy more than one of each critical piece of infrastructure, insuring that the failure of any one router, switch or storage array does not affect our customers.
Technology
We are on the forefront of web technologies, such as virtualisation, developing custom built clustered Xen hosting, SAN management and high availability backup solutions.
The Whole Solution
With experience building server farms to handle the most demanding sites, we can offer consultancy on scaling your application. From the use of load balancers, to content distribution networks, down to helping you choose the storage model for the best redundancy and performance, we can help.
Relentless Security
Our datacentres offer 24/7 on-site physical security, including security guards and CCTV. We place an emphasis on security over cost when it really matters; all of our hosted machines are protected by firewalls.
Capacity
Rather than oversell our bandwidth, we take extra steps to grow our network ahead of demand, easily coping with large volumes of traffic.
Passionate R&D
Our sysadmins and developers can be found spending their lunch times working on pet projects, many of which eventually evolve into products or tools to make everyone's life easier.
Right Sizing
We won't sell you a sledgehammer to break an egg, we'll listen to what you're trying to achieve and produce a scalable proposal that won't hurt your budget.
