High Quality Web Space

We provide only high quality, business standard UK web hosting. All our servers have a high minimum specification meaning your scripts run faster and your pages are served quicker.

Rackspace - the only choice

When we were looking for a dedicated server supplier to provide the hardware, network and housing upon wich we were going to build our hosting business there was really only one choice. All our servers are provided by Rackspace and our reasons for choosing them are clear:

  • Our servers reside in a state-of-the art UK data centre boasting the highest levels of security, surveillance , fire protection systems, a true unlimited and uninterruptible power supply and highly trained on-site server engineers.
  • Our servers are monitored and fully managed by Redhat certified technicians around-the-clock.
  • They have enjoyed 100% network uptime for the past 5 years.
  • They provide us with fast hardware replacement in the event of component failure such as a hard drive, processor, mother board etc.
  • They provide us with a fully managed backup and recovery service.
  • Our servers are protected by Cisco Systems hardware firewalls.

Unfortunately the cost of having your own dedicated Rackspace server is far too expensive for the vast majority of people and as yet it is not possible to buy shared hosting from Rackspace. That is where we come in. When you buy a shared hosting package from Net Explorers you are buying a piece of ultra-high quality web space on a high-spec, fully managed Rackspace server, backed by our own high levels of customer service and technical support. So you have all the benefits of a powerful, smooth running server at a minute fraction of the cost of having your own.

High Spec Hardware

All our servers have the following minimum specification:

  • Dual 2.8Ghx Processors
  • Twin resilient SCSII hard drives in mirrored RAID1 configuration (specifically designed for the hosting industry to be less susceptible to failure than standard IDE drives)
  • 4GB RAM

High Spec Software

Emergency Response

All our servers are fully managed meaning that a team of technical support staff and on-site server engineers are on standby 24 hours a day to respond to any critical problems such as web or email downtime. Should such a problem arise they are automatically notified and respond immediately.
