Griffin Technologies has become the brand name for a business that has grown from a small independant web host that was founded in August 2005.
We saw a gap in the market for hosting especially designed for online gaming clans. This is not to say that there were not plenty of web hosts available, but not everyone wants to have to build their website from scratch. Especially when they are busy competing in various gaming leagues, or playing socially. We decided we would offer several hosting plans with enough resources included as standard to make any sized clan website. As well as an installation service for many gaming based scripts. This is our core business and over the last couple of years we have grown steadily.
Having made a success of our initial venture into the hosting business, we decided to expand our customer base into the business hosting market. Our previous experience has helped us to break into this competitive area, and our portfolio is growing rapidly. We again offer several hosting packages to suit all business sizes. With bespoke web design services, and fully mangaed services if required.
We use a Content Management System (CMS) as the basis for the majority of our websites. This is a PHP and MySql driven script, that is extremely flexible and can be modified to suit our customers needs. Content can easily be added, removed or updated through the web based administration area included with every site.
We pride ourselves on our level of support, your custom is so important to us. Pre-sales enquiries are welcomed, and we will endeavour to help you in any way we can. From the moment you order you will have our full attention and expertise at your disposal. Our aim is to get your website up and running as soon as possible, and to let you get on with running your business.
We only use Dell servers in our web hosting platform, utilising state-of-the-art technology we have built a web hosting platform that is second to none. Our platform is designed in such a way that if any server fails another server automatically and without delay takes over that servers workload. For example if one of our mail servers were to break down, another server would automatically come online, with all the correct configuration and take over the work of the failed server, in this period no email would be lost.
As well as this, all data is stored in two large network disk arrays, data is automatically synchronised between the arrays so that in the event of an array failing the remaining array continues to serve data to the servers.
Redhat is the leading provider of Linux open source software, for many years now Redhat Linux has been the number one choice for web hosting companies. Not just because of Redhat's amazing scalability but also because of its track record as the most stable operating system available in the market today. Our systems utilise the latest Redhat server technology to allow our servers to be continually up to date with Redhat system & security patches. Unlike many of our competitors we run Redhat Enterprise Linux, the most stable release of Redhat Linux available and the only version that stays totally up to date with security patches.
We operate a multi-homed network utilising BGP4 technology, simply put we have multiple connections to the Internet with different backbone providers, should any connection fail our other connections automatically take all the traffic. Not only does this mean that we are very unlikely to lose connectivity to the Internet but it also means that traffic moving to and from our network can choose from a range of paths to get to it's final destination, this means that we have been able to configure the network to always take the fastest paths. |
