Where are your servers located?
Our servers are located within IP House, a data centre owned by Legend Communications plc.  The data centre is a purpose built multi-million pound Tier 1 facility, situated on the outskirts of London Docklands, providing the ultimate in redundancy, uptime, and network colocation services. The data centre has been built utilizing N+1 design philosophy. N+1 ensures that every part of the data centre is not only redundant, but has a hot spare on standby in case of an emergency.

What about uptime?
We have also adopt N+1 design philosophy to improve uptime for our clients. Whilst nobody can realistically offer 100% uptime, we believe that we are as close as possible to delivering it to our clients. ALL Cobalt Network rack cabinets are connected to multiple Tier 1 carriers (BT - Legend - Telia) with dual routers and dual switches to improve redundancy.

Do your servers include any pre-installed packages?
Yes they do! As well as the usual software you would expect to find on a Linux server, our BlueQuartz dedicated servers come with the following extras pre-installed for you:

  • csBACKUP package
  • AWStats package
  • Webalizer package

Do you monitor my server?
Every dedicated server package includes 24/7 monitoring of one port on the server. This is a passive monitoring service that tests your ICMP (ping) port at 5-minute intervals. If this port does not respond, our monitoring service will notify you immediately via e-mail and if the server is completely unreachable, we will restart the system. We also offer additional monitoring services to allow you to quickly detect any problem your server may experience. Further details of these services can be found here.

Our servers can normally be setup within 24 hours of received your order.
