The PlanetHosts philosophy is simple: to provide industry-leading standards of hosting at a price which is competitive without requiring us to compromise our quality of service.

Our powerful servers are based in Telehouse, London, the purpose-built home of LINX (London's Internet Exchange), the major point of presence in Europe and the principal gateway for transatlantic traffic, carrying 6 Gigabits/second. This allows us to peer with most of the UK's major ISPs and content providers and gives us bandwidth on demand of 100Mb/second. Our backbone access is provided by Netscalibur, who routinely rank among the top 10 in the Internet Magazine performance lab tests.

For maximum reliability our servers run under Unix, which is immensely stable and has extremely low virus risk. Our network has 24 x 7 on site engineering cover, resilient power backed up by UPS and generator, full environmental control, RAID dual-disk systems and a periodic geographically-remote backup scheme. In terms of security, we benefit from CCTV recorded surveillance, proximity key-card access, and a 24 hour on site security team.
