The benefits of hosting your website on the QSIT.net server

Websites created by Quiet Storm are hosted on either our server or a server we have specified and have full access to. The reasoning behind this is simple - if anything goes wrong, you need to be able to pick up the phone and get it put right. In order for this to happen, we need to control the hosting.

The second reason that you benefit from having your website hosted on the Quiet Storm server is that it is optimised for our software. This means that there is nothing running on the server that will conflict nor impair the performance of your website.

The Quiet Storm server is very fast, reliable and fully supported. It has great connectivity and high levels of redundancy - we have listed the key features below.

Speed

100Mb network connection and a maximum of 100 sites guarantees improved server performance against a typical shared server.

Complete Control

We can implement your requests for additional software or provide a straight answer by phone.

Location

The QSIT.net server is located at a Tier-1 London Data Centre and has enhanced connectivity between Europe and the US.

Connectivity

Multiple connections from separate telecoms providers enable us to guarantee 99.9% uptime or your money back!

Daily Backups

Data is copied automatically from our main server to a separate backup server each morning. In addition to this, all databases (which contain the most important data used by your website) are backed up each morning and permanently archived to CD to create a snapshot of your website content at that time. This means that we could, if necessary, restore your website's content to any point in the past.

 Weekly Backups

Each week, our server is backed up onto tape media and these tapes are stored in a secure facility in London. The close proximity of the tapes to the data centre means that data can be restored quickly and efficiently in the event of a problem.

“Off site” Back-up

Each night backups are made onto external hard disks and taken off site.

Security

The QSIT.net server runs the Linux operating system which greatly reduces the risk of virus attack.

Linux Operating System

Linux is recognised as one of the most stable platforms in the industry and uses open source technology. This benefits your site in a number of ways including; reduced costs, a wider availability of freeware and fewer licensing restrictions.

Price Freeze Promise
