Our Hosting Infrastructure Details of HomePage's servers, bandwidth and hosting environment. Hosting Requirements Typical requirements for sites hosted by HomePage. Additional Hosting-Related Services Traffic logs and email services. How We Cost Hosting HomePage's approach to fair hosting prices.

HomePage has a close working partnership with Quixa, which operates a dedicated hosting infrastructure based at Lee Valley Technopark, Tottenham. The air-conditioned facility consists of a number of 19" racks - a combination of Compaq and Dell - all protected by APC UPSs.

All servers are monitored 24/7 by automated systems that alert four members of staff in the event of a problem, and clients get an out-of-hours number and pager email addresses.

The Internet connection is currently 8Mbit/s from UUnet, and benefits from a live 2Mbit/s HSRP backup line again from UUnet. The two lines are connected to different physical PoPs and are physically wired via different BT exchanges.

All network hardware (routers, switches etc.) is manufactured by Cisco, and all sites are hosted on a demilitarised zone protected by a Cisco PIX firewall.

If you are interested in either pure hosting for an existing site, or in a project that combines hosting with site development, then drop us a line for a free assessment of how we may be able to help you, or visit Quixa for further details.
