Hosting

An important factor for successful e-business is the use of a server hosting solution which is cost effective, has enough bandwidth to cope with peak traffic, is secure and guarantees you maximum uptime.

With GlobusMedia hosting, what you get is of course web hosting and optional e-mail hosting just like everywhere else, but what makes our hosting better than most are:

Availability 99.99+% track record. SLA provided.
Bandwidth/speed many hosting companies "throttle" the bandwidth of each site. This means that if your site gets busy then it will effectively slow down for all users because there is only a finite amount of bandwidth to be shared between users. This is the only reason why many cheaper hosting companies offer "unlimited" amounts of Gb transfer per month (i.e. it is only technically possible to transfer a low amount of Gb per month as the connection is throttled).
With our hosting solution there are no such limitations (as you can peak at 1000Mb/s, which would be equivalent to roughly 1 billion hits per month!)
Physical Security Located at one of the most secure state-of-the-art facilities in Europe (Level 3). 24 hour surveillance. Fire suppression.
Location Your site will be hosted in London. This is important if you want to be ranked highly on google.co.uk as sites hosted in the UK are prioritised on the "pages from the UK" search feature.
Hardware Quality Compaq and Dell hardware. All servers are fully redundant (Power supply, RAID array) with modern Intel Xeon processors.
Backup We back up all web files three times per week both on site and off site.
Hacking Security Dual enterprise firewalls in front of all web servers. Patches on OS kept up to date.
Site Monitoring We poll your homepage every 3 minutes for an actual snippet of HTML from a different physical location to make sure it responds properly.
Application software Ability to run database, ASP, ASP.NET, Coldfusion, CMS, e-commerce, etc. on site.
Log reporting Detailed log reporting.
This provides extensive general visitor traffic reports and will also tell you which search engines/other sites you are getting traffic from, and what keywords people typed in to get to your site.
It will furthermore detail the demographics of your visitors.

Whether you are looking for enterprise-level dedicated hosting or a simple shared hosting solution, our technical experts can help you choose the right one.
