Network and Servers


WebHost.lk uses only the highest quality server hardware, giving us world-class reliability and performance. By investing in the most powerful and reliable hardware available, WebHost.lk can provide speed and uptime that is unmatched in the hosting industry.


Reliability Features Each of our servers has been built for redundancy to prevent hardware failure and to minimize the impact of a single component failing. Multiple hard drives are configured to use RAID, which allows data to be stored on multiple disks at once in the event of a hard disk failure. Each server has two power supply units in the event of a power surge damaging one unit. Additionally, each server is connected to our high-speed data network with two network interfaces, to eliminate the possibility of a disconnected cable bringing your website offline. Also we make on site / Off-site Data backup for further protection and on our Linux servers we keep 5 Backup copies of your data.


Performance Features Each of our hosting servers is powered by the latest technology and are built for speed. Our server components are the highest quality available, not off-the-shelf components found in a standard desktop computer. All Linux hosting accounts are use Dual Quad core Servers with 16 GB RAM with RAID HDD. Also we are not overloading these servers, although they can handle large quantities of individual web sites at a time.. All windows Hosting accounts are use latest Dell PowerEdge servers with at least a minimum of Quad Core Xeon CPUs, 8GB of RAM, Redundant (RAID) SAS (SCSI) 15K RPM drives.


Software Our servers run industry standard software, including CentOS, Apache, mySQL, PHP with WHM/cPanel, DirectAdmin panels. Servers are update frequently for the most recent stable releases of software, including the latest versions of cPanel, WHM and DirectAdmin.


24/7 Monitoring Our servers are monitored 24x7x365 using offsite and onsite monitoring, notifying our technicians by email and SMS within seconds of any problems. Not only are the servers monitored by ping, but also HTTP, FTP, DNS, CPU, STMP, cPanel, Disk Space Usage, and server load.


Uninterruptible Power System To guard against local power failures, our servers utilize two industrial-grade, three phase Liebert UPS systems. These act as back-up batteries, maintaining uninterrupted power in case of surges or power outages. With these backup systems in place, we can keep our network up and running indefinitely without relying on external power.


Force Filtered Cooling All web servers are equipped with a positive pressure filtered-air system. Four large fans pull filtered air into each server's protective case and the components within are cooled by fans which circulate this purified air. This constant introduction of clean air into the case creates a positive pressure environment ensuring dust and particles remain outside of the server.


Redundant Hot Swap Power Supplies Each server employs dual-redundant hot swap power supplies. If a power supply were to fail, the server would continue running with power from the alternate supply. Meanwhile, alarms would alert a technician, who would quickly restore redundancy. In the meantime, servers and client sites would experience no downtime.


Industrial-Grade Air Conditioners Our servers are kept cool by two Liebert ten ton industrial air conditioners, which condition our computer rooms and operations center. our computer room is kept at an optimal temperature of 65 degrees Fahrenheit.
