It’s important to me that I can offer my clients fast, stable and reliable web hosting built on high-quality hardware and a robust network. You have the option of managed or unmanaged hosting.
I only host websites on high-specification DELL servers, so if you choose DECEMBER14 for hosting you may rest assured that your website will be running on fast, high quality hardware from one of the world’s leading manufacturers. A typical server features:
Servers run always-up-to-date Red Hat Linux operating system and Apache server software. The Linux/Apache combination is used on most of the servers on the web, and is chosen for its track record of stability and inherent security.
DECEMBER14 servers are located in a modern, purpose-built data centre operated by one of the largest UK providers with an industry-leading reputation. With access strictly controlled to provide maximum physical security, the centre employs robust technologies to prevent data loss and downtime; and has systems in place to protect hardware against fire, floods, power loss and other potential disasters.
The network operates on world-class equipment from Cisco Systems and Juniper Networks for optimum performance and reliability, with automatic scanning for attempted DDoS attacks to mitigate the impact of any attack immediately. Network redundancy is built in: there are multiple multi-gigabit connections to the internet with different backbone providers. In the event that any connection fails, other connections automatically pick up all the traffic, meaning that the centre is highly unlikely to lose connectivity to the internet. It also benefits from a Tier 1 connection for super-fast internet speeds at all times.
If you know about web servers, I can set you up with a server with the features you need, and a control panel allowing you to manage the server yourself. If not, you can leave it all to me, and any time changes are needed on the server, I can make them for you.
Most of my clients who have websites built by me also choose DECEMBER14 web hosting, and have me manage the server on their behalf.
