Our advanced cloud is built from best-in-class server hardware: SuperMicro® servers running Intel® Xeon E5 CPUs exclusively running Samsung SM863 enterprise-grade SSDs - no SSD caching!
The cloud ensures that your site is protected from hardware failure. Should a failure occur, a seamless and instant transition occurs to another waiting node in the cluster.
Unlike some of our competitors, we do NOT use SSD caching because that only speeds up access to the most-requested files leaving the rest on slow hard disks.
Our cloud exclusively uses SSD storage, meaning that even the least-requested file on your website will be served at lightning speed!
Your website needs a powerful hosting infrastructure to thrive. Our cluster nodes have a minimum specification of:
CloudLinux™ provides your website with a Lightweight Virtual Environment (LVE), guaranteeing dedicated resources for your website.
LVE also guarantees that your site won't be slowed down by another customer's website experiencing high demand.
Other benefits of CloudLinux™ include the ability to choose your own PHP version and customise the PHP modules available to your website.
Exterior of datacentre
We're located in a high-spec data centre in Hemel Hempstead, UK (just outside London).
Server racks
The data centre is divided into suites. N+1 air conditioning and hot aisle containment ensures the temperature and humidity is strictly controlled.
FM200 fire suppressant and VESDA monitoring protects equipment.
Each rack has 2 independent power feeds from separate UPS systems, and 2 network uplinks to separate core network rooms.
Power and air con
Multiple 10-gigabit fibre links enter the building via several private ducts, and are routed to separate communications rooms at opposite ends of the building.
Located in Hemel Hempstead, the data centre benefits from its close promixity to the heart of the UK's internet in London Docklands, ensuring round-trip latency of only 1 millisecond.
