Data Centre
Our servers are split-site hosted between the highly respected Redbus II facility in London, UK and an internet data centre in the Nac.net Network Operations Centre in New Jersey USA. Servers are placed within our air conditioned secure environment to ensure maximum uptime. We have a huge connection capacity worldwide with built in redundancy. Flump Internets total connectivity amounts to 675 MB this is provided via 15 diverse connections from different backbone providers. Each server is hosted on a 100MB fully burstable connection. With full redundancy. We pride ourselves on our reliable service. It is for this reason that we provide our clients with a 99% uptime guarantee for all hosting accounts.

UPS Power Backup
All of our servers are plugged into a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). UPS's serve as an intermediate power supply in the event of a power failure to give us ample time to power up the backup generators.

Data Backups
Each night we backup our entire system onto another hard drive which means in the event of system failure, you should have not lost any files. We also keep daily, weekly and monthly mirrors of your data.

Network Monitoring
The critical services on all of our services are monitored redundantly: once by the servers themselves, and once by an external monitoring system. If a service fails, the server is aware of it within 120 seconds and automatically informs our technicians as well as attempting to restart the service itself. This double tiered system provides our customers with maximum service uptime and reliability

All these factors combine to make Flump.net one of the best performing and most reliable web hosting companies available in the industry. Further details of our services can be found in the Web Design and Web Hosting sections of this website. If you have any questions then please contact us.
