Our servers are located in the Bluesquare Datacentre near London (Maidenhead), UK. This Datacentre is connected through dual GigE fiber lines to both Level(3) and Euroconnex. Our connections to Internet backbones are operated by 25 major networks, providing extremely competitive levels of bandwidth availability.
Currently all websites run on at least branded Intel 2.0Ghz Rack-mounted servers, each of which is connected to the network via high quality Cisco switching equipment. Each server is equipped with a UPS backup to keep it operational in the event of a power failure, and there is an on-site generator to both power our servers and recharge our UPS devices in the event of long-term power outages.
Each server is equipped with multiple hard-disk backups, with an automatic backup being made every week. In the event of a disk failure, all backups can be immediately be re-loaded onto a spare disk to get your website back online with the minimum downtime. In the event of total hardware failure, we have enough spare capacity to spread our website backups across different servers, to minimise your downtime while we either repair or replace a faulty server.
