 YOUR
SERVERS |
Every website in the world must actually physically exist on a
computer somewhere. These computers are called servers.
U-Turn Internet's servers are housed in (arguably) the world's
number one data centre, located in Dallas, Texas.
They are monitored 24 hours a day with staff always on site.
When you choose to host your site
with U-Turn Internet, you should take comfort in the fact you're
getting the best money can buy. U-Turn's servers are among the fastest and
most reliable in the world - we've spared no expense to buy the
best. We don't feel that servers are an area to cut costs
because our customers expect fast and reliable performance. We
guarantee your site will be hosted in good hands.

Network
With other providers, many servers are
just connected to one Internet Service Provider
(like some hosting servers provided by ISPs themselves).
This means that if something goes wrong with the ISP, the
server will stop working.
U-Turn Internet's servers are connected to
serveral providers with speeds virtually unseen in New
Zealand. This provides maximum speed
and uptime.
Our
providers and their speeds are as follows:
Allegiance
Telecom -- 1 Gbps (GigE)
Global Crossing -- 1 Gbps (GigE)
Level 3 -- 1 Gbps (GigE)
Sprint -- 1 Gbps (GigE)
Time Warner -- 1 Gbps (GigE)
UUNet -- 1 Gbps (GigE)
Verio -- 1 Gbps (GigE)
AT&T -- DS3

Staff are on-site 24/7, so if by chance something
does go wrong
with the server, it won't be long before it's back to its usual peak
performance.
Data Centre
Power
U-Turn Internet's servers offer complete power redundancy. The
servers are connected to multiple power grids, with dual power
generators onsite and backup battery power.
Conditions
Servers are kept in clean-rooms with raised floors and static-free
tile. A-grade heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)
systems with glycol, chilled water and condenser units provided by
Data Aire are also in operation. This extra redundancy in
temperature control ensures the servers will always be at their peak
performance.
Security
The data centre is monitored 24 hours a day with motion-sensitive
closed circuit cameras. All sensitive areas are protected by
state-of-the-art security with keycard access locks.
Fire Suppression
A pre-action dry pipe system with VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection
Apparatus) and more than 600 smoke detectors are in the data centre.
In short, it would take an atomic bomb to take this data-centre
down!
Server Specs
The servers bought for U-Turn
Internet's customers' use are top-of-the-line
servers from the Dell Corporation. On average, the servers
used have 1 GB of ECC RAM with the latest Pentium Processor at the
time of purchase. We spare no expense in using the best
servers, to ensure maximum speed and reliability.
