Comparison table
Choose from our Dual Core and Quad Core dedicated servers. Both come with unlimited bandwidth
and your choice of either Linux or Windows operating systems.
The control panel
Our control panel makes managing your Dedicated Server a breeze.
Some of the features we provide are...
Server Reboot
You can reboot your server any time you like. Just visit the “Manage Dedicated Servers” area
of your control panel and click the real time reboot option. This will perform a hardware reboot
(power cycle the server).
You should always try and do a proper software reboot if you can, but if you do need to perform
a hardware reboot then you are in complete control of this feature 24x7x365.
Add IP Addresses
We setup one IP address as standard and you can add another for free by clicking the option
in the “Manage Dedicated Servers” area of your control panel. If you need more IP addresses
after that you can buy these can be purchased from us.
Bandwidth Graphs
We automatically graph your server’s traffic usage so that you can see how busy your server is.
Custom Work
Sometimes you might need some help with some system or application level problems on your
server. Or you might need some new software installing.
If you would like us to carry out system administration tasks on your server then we can provide
you with a quote for the work you require.
Data centre
Cutting edge technology puts you in front of the competition
Power Supply & Backup
Each rack has two independent power feeds, fed from two diverse connections to the national grid.
Should one or both of these feeds fail 4 x 300kVA Riello UPS (N+1) battery backup systems will
cover immediate power requirements. All power to the cabinets is supplied via the UPS to maintain
clean supply to the servers.
If mains power is not restored within 10 seconds 3 x N+1 diesel powered generators will start
providing full continuous power to the data centre.
Spare fuel for the generators is stored on-site and contracts are in place with fuel companies to
deliver continuous emergency fuel for a virtually unlimited amount of time.
Fire Suppression
Fire protection is provided by the FM200 Fire Suppression System which fills the sealed data centre
with gas to extinguish any fire quickly without the use of water and without damage to any equipment.
Climate Control
The data centre is fully climate controlled with N+1 Stultz DX Cybercool Air Conditioning Systems.
The system monitors and controls the temperature and humidity levels.
Drip sensors located below floor monitor for any leaks in the system. Cold air is forced underneath
raised flooring into the bottom of each server rack, and vacumed out of the top providing
maximum cooling efficiency. The position of each server rack/apparatus is calculated by a dedicated
deployment team to further optimise cooling efficiency.
Server Cabinets
46u high 1500mm wide x 1000mm deep, cable management system and 80% mesh doors.
Cabinets are kept locked at all times.
CCTV
The data centre is monitored by cctv both externally and internally. All CCTV images are
recorded and stored for 3 months.
Secure Fence
The building is surrounded by a 8ft perimeter fence.
Gates are locked outside of normal business hours.
Secure Fob Access
There are two locking doors to go through for access to each of the separate data halls within DC2.
These are locked and can only be opened using Secure Fobs which are only held by named staff.

100% Dell Servers
We use only Dell servers in our Dedicated Server platform.
All our Dedicated Servers utilise RAID 1 disk mirroring so either of your two disks can fail
without impacting your website.
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 10 gigabit
technology, which means that it runs at a speed of 10000 Mb per second - most web hosting
networks are limited to much less.
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.
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.
