Our Servers

Our datacentre is based in San Diego, California. These facilities are among some of the best in the world, with uptime ratings that put us among the best in the industry, and are staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. 

Physical Capabilities

HVAC Systems

Our centre utilises advanced airflow monitoring systems to ensure that proper temperature and humidity levels are maintained around the clock. Redundant Liebert conditioning units are found throughout the facility.

Multi-homed Premium Bandwidth

Our centre is connected to 100% Premium Multi-homed Bandwidth. Multi-homed bandwidth ensures that our servers have unfettered access to the entire world, regardless of the politics that occasionally leaves millions of internet users stranded on their own networks. For example, Level3 recently terminated their peering with Cogent, leaving millions of single-homed Level3 internet users and servers unable to communicate with an equal number of single-homed Cogent users. Multi-homed bandwidth ensures that your servers will not suffer when individual bandwidth providers create adverse situations.

Connectivity Distribution

Redundant Cisco distribution switches feed 100Mpbs Ethernet hand-offs to our customers Dedicated Servers. The network architecture ensures that no single point of failure will ever affect connectivity to the network or customers.

Power Systems

Our centre maintains dual generators for maximum uptime. These generators feed multiple UPS systems that provide uninterrupted power to the hosting centre floor. Power distribution is handled by redundant Power Distribution nodes. Our centre’s power systems can sustain operation for up to 2 full weeks at maximum load without primary power from the electrical grid.

Network Operations Centre

The Network Operations centre is the heart of the facility. From here, employees monitor physical security, upstream connections and uptime-monitoring services to ensure the best possible service.

Network Core

The Network Core is a high security area where we house 10 Tier 1 Fiber connections, and 6 core Cisco routers. From this room Internet connectivity is fed redundantly to the different segments of the internal and customer networks.

 

How Do We Do It?

You will have no doubt found that our competitors charge a great deal more for web hosting than we do. This does not mean that they offer a better service, it's just they charge a whole lot more than we do!

Here at thebase, we are a United Kingdom based company who buys our space and bandwidth wholesale from a company with stacks of server space and that is how we can offer you the outstanding deals that we do.

Our servers are secure, high speed machines, guaranteed not to run out of disk space, based in the United States - San Diego, California.

We believe that being able to run a PHP, MySQL, ASP etc. enabled website without having to have someone else's banner adverts all over it should not cost you a fortune to run. And that is why we exist.

So give us a try and if you like it, recommend us to a friend!
