Tech Specs
Unlike many web hosting companies, KDA Web Services opperates a more robust and resilliant system for hosting your web sites. Rather than just host your website, your email, your databases and associated services on a single server, we place each service on a separate server, tailored to the task - So instead of all your services being on 1 server, with KDA Web Services they are spread over multiple servers, each with its own task and minimum specification of:
- Web Site
- Dual 1.13Ghz CPU, 2GB RAM, Hardware RAID
- Dual 1.13Ghz CPU, 2GB RAM, Hardware RAID
- Email Backup
- Dual 933Mhz CPU, 512MB RAM, Hardware RAID
- Databases
- Dual 1.26Ghz CPU, 2GB RAM, Hardware RAID
- Primary DNS
- Single 1.2Ghz CPU, 512MB RAM, Hardware RAID
- Secondary DNS
- Single 1.2Ghz CPU, 512MB RAM, Hardware RAID
- Control Panel
- Dual 1.4Ghz CPU, 1.5GB RAM, Hardware RAID
As you can see, your web site, depending on the features used, could be hosted on as many as 7 servers, not just a single low powered server. Also please bear in mind that these are the minimum specification servers we run and as a new customer, your site would likely be hosted on even more powerful Web, Email and Database servers than listed above.
Network Connectivity
Unlike many providers, we don't over-inflate the specification of our network connectivity, many providers will say they have 100Mbit/s of connectivity to a provider, when in fact they only pay for 1Mbit/s or 2Mbit/s of connectivity with the ability to burst (Use more than they pay for) to the full 100Mbit/s - The only thing with a claim like this, is that the provider is only guatanteed the 1Mbit/s or 2Mbit/s of capacity and not 100Mbit/s like they claim.
We're proud to be open and say that we have 2 x 100Mbit/s connections and currently have a guaranteed 125Mbit/s over these connections to our upstream provider (Commercial Collocation Ltd.) who currently provide us with connectivity via:
- Level(3) Communications
- Tiscali International Carrier
- NTT Communications
- Cogent Communications
- Entanet
