FAQ
Why Fast Hosting Direct VPS Technology?
We've used our years of web hosting expertise to develop our own VPS platform from the ground up, rather than buying an off-the-shelf solution that doesn't match our customers' needs.
We use the latest generation of Dell PowerEdge r7xx series servers, (optimised for virtualisation), to provide a stable platform. Each physical server has 8 x 10k SAS disks for primary storage, (in a RAID-10 array), providing full storage redundancy and high-speed access to data. A top-end PERC RAID card with battery-backed cache ensures the integrity of your data with no storage bottlenecks. We use flash memory for the boot volume, to ensure fast booting and to minimize downtime during upgrades. Each physical server has 12 Intel Xeon cores, designed for heavy server workloads, and 144GB of RAM to accommodate future memory needs of each virtual server. |

Why UK Data Centre & Dedicated UK IP Address?
Simple - We host every site in the UK, ensuring your customers get premium UK download speeds. Some of our major reseller competitors host UK sites in the USA and even if they have UK offices. Don't take the risk: it could jeopardise your customers Google UK listings and other search engines and result in a slower connections for all your customers websites. Fast Hosting Direct is 100% UK based. |

What is No Limits Data Transfer?
No Limits Data Transfer means we do not limit the amount of Web Space & Data Transfer your customers use.
Most reseller providers offer limited Data Transfer and charge extra fees for over usages.
Why 100% Dell Servers?
We use only Dell servers in our web hosting platform, utilising state-of-the-art technology we have built a web hosting platform that is second to none.
Our platform is designed in such a way that if any server fails another server automatically and without delay takes over that servers workload. For example if one of our mail servers were to break down, another server would automatically come online, with all the correct configuration and take over the work of the failed server. In this period no email would be lost.
As well as this, all data is stored in two large network disk arrays, data is automatically synchronised between the arrays so that in the event of an array failing the remaining array continues to serve data to the servers with no downtime. |

Why 100% Cisco Gigabit Network?
Fast Hosting Direct's network operates on industry leading network equipment from Cisco Systems, all our switches and routers are developed by Cisco. Our network is based on gigabit technology which means that it runs at a speed of 1000 Mb per second, most web hosting networks are limited to 100 Mb per second.
Our network also utilise's 100% CAT6 network cable, CAT6 cable contains four pairs of copper wire and unlike CAT5, utilise's all four pairs. CAT6 supports Gigabit (1000 Mbps) Ethernet and supports communications at more than twice the speed of CAT5e, the other popular standard for Gigabit Ethernet cabling.
Fast Hosting Direct also operates a multi-homed network utilising BGP4 technology, simply put we have multiple connections to the Internet with different backbone providers, should any connection fail our other connections automatically take all the traffic. Not only does this mean that we are very unlikely to lose connectivity to the Internet but it also means that traffic moving to and from our network can choose from a range of paths to get to its final destination, this means that we have been able to configure the network to always take the fastest paths.
