Technology

We come from a technical background and obsess over using only the very best technologies.

For you, that means blazing fast, ultra-reliable hosting with next-level support.

Ultra-fast

Connectivity

We operate our own in-house network and only use direct, high-availability / low-latency connections to major Tier 1 providers and peering exchanges. This guarantees your content is delivered to your visitors at blazing speed.

Multiple Juniper routers connected to our redundant, multi-homed network core.
Upstream connections to GTT, Voxility, Link11, LINX.
150Gbit uplink network capacity.
Direct peering with over 700 networks.

Multi-layered

DDoS protection

DDoS attacks are on the rise and pose a constant threat to both business and ‘hobby’ websites. Our in-house network employs both on-premise and upstream DDoS mitigation. This ensures your sites and our wider network can weather any attack without disruption.

Upstream filtering provided via direct interconnects with Voxility and Link11.
100Gbit of local scrubbing capacity via on-premise Corero equipment.
Ability to automatically redirect all inbound traffic via Voxility and/or Link11 to redirect malicious traffic away from local scrubbing.

Best-in-class

Datacentres

We operate our own racks and suites within some of the world’s finest datacentres. Every facility we use is carefully scrutinised and selected to provide an optimal blend of fault-tolerant power and cooling capability, high physical security for data protection and the use of renewably-sourced energy and environmental consciousness. All facilities in which we house our operations also meet rigorous third-party certification standards, with all sites providing ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 compliance.
