With web hosting becoming more and more competitively priced, many hosting companies have cut corners in order to compete. At Web Seven, we have done exactly the opposite.
A fast, secure, and reliable web host is crucial if you expect success from your web site. Many hosts become sluggish during peak periods when many people are on the web, perhaps maximizing the host's bandwidth capabilities. Sometimes a host will go down, in other words, it will not be availble for some time, visitors will get a "page not found" error, but more importantly, the search engine robots will think your web site is no longer there and will schedule it for removal from their database!
Sometimes a web host will have internal security issues, where just about anybody may enter and attempt to work with sensitive systems, or they may have a physically non-secure building, at risk from a break-in or fire.
 Our out-sourced data centre is powered by Dell PowerEdge servers. A special hosting operations system ensures that any OS changes can be tested, controlled and rolled back if necessary.
Systems are monitored on an ongoing basis for availability, performance and reliability.
 Power systems in our data centre are designed to run uninterrupted, even in the unlikely event of a total power outage.
All servers are fed with conditioned UPS power that will prevent interruption if utility power fails. Even if the primary UPS system fails, another UPS subsystem is N+1 redundant with instantaneous failover.
In the event of an extended power outage, one or more on-site diesel generators can run indefinitely.
 The HVAC (Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning) system is N+1 redundant to ensure that even in the event of an entire HVAC system failure, there is a duplicate system on standby to take over.
Air is circulated and filtered every 90 seconds to remove dust and contaminants. In the unlikely event that a fire could start, an advanced fire suppression system is in place.
In the unlikely event that all cables on a cable rack are cut or burnt, packets of data will automatically be routed to a second set of cables on the other side of the data centre.
 Our Cisco-powered, Zero-Downtime Network#™ with unique self-healing attributes is based on multiple bandwidth providers adn the BGP4 networking protocol.
The fiber carriers enter the facilities at disparate access points to ensure that there is no service failure, even in the unllikely event of a fiber cut.
 Access to the data centre is restricted by two-factor authentication including Biometric hand scanners.
This ensures physical isolation from everyone except level three technicians. Public access is strictly forbidden and all entrances and common areas are monitored 24x7 via closed-circuit cameras.
