About Us
History
Originally established in 1998 as a support service to Lycos Europe, M8 INTERNET commenced trading on Monday 06 January 2003
The company changed its name to Manage My Hosting in May 2012
The company provides
basic, cheap, and reliable website hosting
Using only the highest quality servers
based in the United Kingdom
Current Facilities
The data centre offers a secure, resilient environment for our web hosting platform
Based in a secure facility the data centre is built to an N+1 specification, so that
if any particular service fails - e.g. electricity or air conditioning - another
backup service automatically takes over the failed service's job
Power
Dual power feeds enter the building at different points and Uninterruptible Power
Supplies (UPS) ensure that all power to the server area is clean and spike free
In
the event of a power outage the UPS can take the entire data centre load for up to
fifteen minutes
However within 20 seconds redundant generators are able to indefinitely
take on the entire data centre load
Security
The data centre is manned 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so that if anything goes
wrong engineers can respond quickly and effectively to the problem
Access to the
data centre is via a master access list using Smart Card authentication
Access to
the data centre is by authorisation only
CCTV operates throughout the facility
Cooling & Fire Suppression
The temperature of the data centre is kept at a steady 21oC to allow optimum equipment
performance
Our fire detection system monitors the room for any sign of fire and
allows operators to respond to such a situation using a variety of fire suppression
techniques
Technology
Supermicro Servers
We use Supermicro servers in our website 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 server's workload
For example, if one of our mail servers
breaks down another server automatically comes online, with all the correct configuration,
and takes over the work of the failed server
During this period no email is 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
Server Specification
Our current server specification is :
Intel® Xeon E5-2697 2.70Ghz Processor Dual
core
1 GB RAM

Performance
Uptime
We aim for 99.90% uptime, however we do need to take the servers offline for maintenance,
replacement, or upgrade occasionally
This is always scheduled for overnight, in the
UK, and with as little disruption as possible
Details of planned maintenance are at the System Status page
We currently provide two uptime performance indicators
Please note that these are
external indicators and we do not guarantee their reliability or accuracy
For details of our uptime performance from 19 December 2007 onwards :
Please note
there were changes of server during December 2010 and March 2012 when viewing the
monthly statistics
