        Rack Move Complete!

        It only took 5 hours to complete but we managed to move our whole platform across the road from BlueSquare 1 to BlueSquare 3! We managed to keep downtime to a minimum (I think it was less than 30 minutes!) and I just wanted to say thanks to all our customers for making the move as easy as it was! We could not have done it while answering hundreds of tickets asking why the servers are down!

        Moving to BSQ3 now means we have more space (and power) to expand on our services, namely dedicated servers and new backup solutions.

        On that note, I would also like to thank our dedicated server customers for voting for us on the Dedicated Server Directory! Thanks to you we won the September award for ‘Best UK Windows Servers’

        R1Soft - Continuous Data Protection

        We will soon be introducing a new backup system to all our clients. R1Soft are specialists in Continuous Data Protection, Long story short, we will be increasing our frequency of backups from once a night to many times a day (tbc). Even better than that, we can reduce our disaster recovery times from several hours, to less that one hour thanks to R1Soft’s ‘Bare Metal Restore’ feature.

        We will be testing the new system for the majority of July and we will annouce the date we go live towards the end of the month. There is one feature which will benefit our clients directly, we will be offering clients the option of restoring backups of their hosting accounts from our backups, something that most hosts do not allow. This way you will no longer need to contact customer support to have a backup restored.
