Website Standard Hosting
Our shared web hosting servers offer an entry level, high performance platform for small companies to host their website.
Your website is housed on a shared Enterprise Linux based web server platform.
Unlike some hosting providers, for security reasons, we do not allow scripting or database services on these systems. This ensures that poor scripting or database management by one website can not affect the performance of our other customers.
For customers who require scripting or database services, we have priced our entry level Dedicated Virtual Server packages to make them easily accessable.
Dedicated Virtual Server
Our dedicated virtual servers allow web designers and professional Internet companies to run their services, from the security of their own dedicated virtual machine on our Internet backbone.
You can run multiple websites, Internet shops, and any other Internet applications from either a dedicated virtual Linux or Microsoft server tailored to your requirements.
The Dedicated Virtual Server package provides you with a dedicated Centos Enterprise Linux or Windows 2003/8 Server, with SSH or Terminal Services access to it.
Microsoft Internet Information Services or Apache are also installed by default.
You can also request that MySql database server, and OS-Commerce are installed.
Internet Virtual Office
Our Virtual Internet Office provides a complete solution for small to medium sized companies. It features a dedicated web server and email server that allows you to run your website and email services from the same domain name.
For example, your website could be www.yourcompany.com, and your email user@yourcompany.com.
The Virtual Internet Office also takes advantage of our anti-spam and anti-virus gateways to significantly reduce unwanted and potentially dangerous email.
Additional Configurations and Dedicated Hosting
AltaRede are also pleased to provide quotations for non standard hosting.
We operate several hosting centres throughout Europe and can cater for every requirement, from hosting of single servers, to fully feature disaster recovery solutions.
Virtual Internet Hosting at AltaRede
The AltaRede Virtual Hosting Centre provides a comprehensive and secure environment in which to host your Internet services.
Traditional hosting and collocation requires you to install physical hardware at the hosting centre of your choice.
The disadvantages of this are obvious. The hosting costs of additional equipment increases in direct proportion to the number of servers hosted. Similarly licensing costs also increase at a proportional rate. The support costs in terms of hardware maintenance, software maintenance and on site visits also increase exponentially.
Our virtual hosting platform enables customers to host their services without the need for expensive hardware and software environments. There is also no need for your staff to make onsite maintenance visits, as these areas are provided by our own fully trained support staff. Archiving of your systems is also provided by AltaRede, as part of the hosting contract.
Our investment in Virtual Machine technology provides the opportunity for any organisation large or small, to enhance their business connectivity without significant capital expenditure.
For customers who already have physical systems housed in data centres, these can easily be replaced by virtual servers running in our Virtual Server Farm. This enables your organisation to substantially reduce both your capital expenditure and operational expenditure budgets for providing these services.
Our Virtual Server technology therefore enables customers from all over the world to house services in our data centre, taking advantage of one of the best communications hubs in Europe, whilst minimising the cost of providing the services you require.
The AltaRede Hosting Centre
The AltaRede hosting centre is located in Milton Keynes in the United Kingdom. We currently run a dual dark fibre 2 x 100 Mb connection from our hosting centre, directly into the main Internet Hub (Tele House) in London.
Our primary Network Operations Centre is also housed onsite at our hosting centre, with a secondary in the Algarve in Portugal.
Our infrastructure also benefits from redundant UPS power backup and a Diesel generator.
Security plays a crucial role to the success of your network infrastructure, and our expertise in network security including firewalls, monitoring, virtual private networks and intrusion detection, has resulted in the creation of an exceptionally secure platform from which to host your services.
All of our virtual servers are housed behind our firewall and Intrusion Detection systems and benefit from regular monitoring by trained security and support personnel. The network is monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide the most secure and resilient environment for your servers.
Disaster Recovery
The business need for a versatile and scalable disaster recovery solution is fast becoming of paramount importance as threats, natural and man-made, multiply with each passing month.
Traditionally, the costs involved in providing a fully functioning hot standby facility have proved prohibitive, in many cases running into millions of pounds.
However using Virtual Machine technology, both at your own offices and in our Virtual Server Farm, provides unparalleled server portability giving rise to a variety of Business Continuity solutions.
As a result of our investment in Virtual Server technology any organisation can afford the benefits of a disaster recovery solution without putting a large hole in their IT budget.
Your business critical data can be continually mirrored to our Virtual Standby Servers located at our secure hosting facilities. This ensures that your continuity services are consistent and able to take over at a moments notice.
The AltaRede Disaster Recovery and Continuity Service (DRS) can be functional within minutes, 365 days of the year.
