Site Hosting

Wired offers top-end hosting security and failsafe back-up:

• Fully Microsoft-based hosting environment.
• All sites are hosted on our own servers (not shared infrastructure).
• Servers are housed in a climate-controlled fully monitored data centre.
• Hard drives and other components have been configured to be both secure and stable – protected by industry-leading firewalls.
• Internet links from multiple providers are monitored 24/7 to minimize the risk of an outage.
• All equipment runs on uninterruptible power supplies with generator back-up.
• Data is backed-up daily to separate tapes and stored securely offsite by Armourguard.

The firewall and server infrastructure is intruder-monitored, and vendor security upgrades are immediately applied to minimize the risk of Internet attacks affecting the site. All infrastructure is scanned regularly to discover and close any vulnerability. The servers are monitored from both a hardware and software level, to pro-actively resolve potential issues before they impact performance.
