Overview

iHost-uk is a privately held web hosting provider offering high quality web hosting solutions to people, business and industry.

We began when our owners tired with poor levels of support and dissatisfied with high prices and low reliability decided to found a company with a difference. One where high levels of support were standard and where advertised features always worked, as advertised.

They founded iHost-uk and chose only the best technologies to ensure they could meet the wishes of even the most demanding clients.

With this in mind iHost-uk are happy to offer you our high standard hosting packages, and are 100% confident that they will help your site achieve its goals.

Thank You.

Industry Partners

Physical Security:
Our data centre is secure. The front door must be opened by the security guard who is on duty 24/7/365. Movement throughout the facility must be escorted at ALL times. There is no other entry door into the facility with the exception of the loading door which is protected by a roll down door and may only be operated with a security officer present.

Location:
London is an ideal location for the primary data centre because of the absence of natural disasters and its central location to the Internet backbone connections from all across the United Kingdom

Network Infrastructure:
Our core network architecture is second to none utilising the highest quality equipment from Juniper, Foundry and Cisco. Setup in a fully redundant mesh it allows us to offer high availability and exceptional throughput to our end users.
We utilise Juniper M40 routers at the core/order, Foundry BigIron 8000 switches in our distribution layer and Cisco 3500 series switches in our aggregation layer. On our customer layer for dedicated services we currently utilize Cisco 3500/2900 and Foundry FastIron Workgroup series switches.

About Our Network

Our Network operates in a 14,000 sq.ft raised floored state-of-the-art data centre in, London. The facility offers complete redundancy in protected power, HVAC, fire suppression, network connectivity and on-site manned security. The facility takes power feeds from multiple power grids, distributed via MGE UPS battery backup power and three 2.5 MVA Caterpillar diesel generators to backup primary power source with 48-hour on-site fuel storage supported by continuous refuelling contracts. Our Libert HVAC systems are configured to provide cooling redundancy in a temperature controlled environment. Fire suppression includes a dry pipe pre-action system with VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus).

The data centres have been engineered to avoid any single point of failure in our connectivity, power, or HVAC. And because the data centres are not open to the public, you can rest assured that only a handful of highly trained, level-three technicians will be allowed within close physical proximity to your server.

Web Servers:
We only use the latest Dual Xeon Dell or Dual AMD Opteron servers, which enable us to offer the best performance that can be supplied.

Within the servers, we use SATA hard drives, which offer even further speed, performance and most of all reliability, with each server having a minimum of 2 GB of ram.
