Creating a High Availability cpanel -like web hosting platform that delivers pages to your customers quickly and  consistently is key to good retention, sales and higher Google ranking. Metrics such as TTFB (Time to First Byte), FCP (First Contextual Paint) and total load time are critical from wherever in the world your visitors are:

• EDGE caching: By caching your website content on our Edge Servers, distributed around the globe, your pages are optimised and ready to be viewed with minimal backend processing. This is the main factor for achieving sub 100ms TTFB speeds (that’s 1/10th of a second)
• GLOBAL CDN: A Content Delivery Network stores various copies of your site’s images (and other content) at various key locations around the globe, meaning the round-trip for requests and download are significantly shorter. We partner with providers specialising in super-fast CDN services with the best connected networks in the world – like Google, AWS and Akamai – to ensure your content is stored on 6 continents, at every major point of presence – over 25 globally. 
• OPTIMISATION SUITE: Our EDGE servers provide pre-optimisation of several of your website’s elements – like minifying CSS, Java, defer, async, removing excess code etc – the kind of thing you’d need a few cumbersome plugins to achieve. You can customise all of this from within your control panel.
• AUTOSCALING: cPanel hosting systems are usually made affordable by putting multiple website on one platform (sometimes on one server!) – so when your website is busy, or several sites are, there’s often a performance drop. We eliminate that problem by automatically firing up additional servers to cope with extra demand – ensuring your site is always fast and responsive, whether you have 1 visitor or 1000 at a time. This is enhanced with autoscaling EDGE, web and database services on our cloud partners platform – which also provides failover resilience for 100% uptime
• DISTRIBUTED DNS:Our DNS system is globally distributed on the Google DNS platform – which, like a CDN, makes DNS requests more local to the visitor and hence quicker. And Google have hundreds of DNS servers all around the globe…

Ensuring your site is secure is a major priority – more and more nowadays. With over 30 years experience in web hosting, you can be confident that our network, our servers and your site is as safe and protected as much as possible

• WAF: We run two levels of Web Application Firewalls on both our EDGE servers and Web Servers. These protect your site from malware, hack attempts and exploits – updated regularly to counter new threats as they emerge.
• MALWARE & VIRUS SCANNING: Automatic scanning of your website files daily to detect, remove and disable any known malware, updated daily to protect against new variants and threats (you can also run these scans manually)
• DDoS PROTECTION: If your site or our servers become the victim of a Distributed Denial of Service Attack our load balancers detect this and blackhole the requests offsite whilst maintaining access to your site for legitimate visitors (2Tbps of DDoS protection )
• FREE SSL – A 256bit secure certificate is automatically applied to keep your site and the data transmitted secure over the internet – essential for admin login and parts of your site where customers login (ecommerce etc) – updated every 60 days to help prevent SSL hijacking or other SSL exploits.
• SECURITY PROTOCOLS: We keep our servers up-to-date, have automatic , AI-assisted and manual checking in place and ensure our Firewalls are penetration tested monthly. Our datacentres all have the highest security, including ISO27001 security – with our core network being located in one of the most secure buildings in Europe (Telehouse London) 

High Availability with a cpanel -like interface with lots of backups! We provide multiple automated backups of your website to ensure continuity and give you the ability to roll-back easily to any point in time.

• 30 day Snapshots: Automatic on-site snapshots for both web files and databases. You can restore easily with one click or perform your own snapshots at any time. Snapshots are securely replicated offsite for redundancy.
• 12 month backups: For PRO and ULTRA packages we also keep a 12 monthly backups of your site in two backup locations
• Failover: Because of the way we’ve design our HAstacks hosting platform, we have multiple replication and failover systems in place to ensure uptime, including servers, RAID storage disks and mirrored storage engines, both onsite and offsite.

You have the option to fully manage your website yourself using a cPanel-like web control panel.
