Our Hosting Solutions are designed to answer the web hosting needs of both small businesses and enterprises seeking a reliable hosting partner. Our web hosting service offers all the latest server technologies - including ASP.net, PHP 5, MS-SQL Server, and MySQL, – so you can be sure you have a powerful, flexible hosting package that can cope with everything from a basic brochure-style site to a complex corporate site or online store.
Newpath Web operates a state-of-the-art network and offers a 99.9% network
uptime guarantee. We utilise fully redundant systems and infrastructure
coupled with the latest technology. We employ the use of an advanced management
system to optimise the performance of our hosted websites.
Newpath Web prides itself on ensuring a stable and secure hosting environment
for all customers. Some measures include:
• We constantly monitor and patch our server’s software for any possible security exploitation.
• We block unnecessary ports to limit possible attacks.
• We suggest customers to have strong password authentication and
keep them in a safe place.
Uptime Capability
Newpath Web has a significant investment in reliable servers and network
equipment, the highest quality network and server monitoring systems,
and the latest in redundant backup systems. We also have professional
and experienced network engineers and administrators trained to anticipate
potential problems and emergencies.
Total Service Provider
At Newpath Web, we pride ourselves on being a ‘Total Service
Provider’, building lean, efficient and highly scalable
website solutions. More complex solutions require much closer integration
at the server level. There is a clear benefit to our clients in having
Newpath Web developers in close personal contact with our own highly skilled
network engineers, enabling better integration of these more complex developments.
Extensive Infrastructure
Sites are hosted in multiple data centres in overseas, and local locations,
managed from a single Management Interface.
Excess Load Management
Our servers are always under light load, guaranteeing sufficient capacity
for occasional bursts in traffic and mails. High-volume sites will be
moved to gradually less populated servers within the cluster until it
has a dedicated server. If a dedicated server is a critical requirement
this can certainly be guaranteed, at a slightly higher monthly investment.
Disaster Recovery and Fail-Over
Disaster avoidance is the cornerstone of any disaster recovery plan. Even
the best avoidance plan cannot prevent every disaster. When a serious
incident does occur, Newpath Web has an emergency response plan. All
servers include mirrored RAID drives for internal redundancy.
Site Monitoring
The site monitoring system is an application built to monitor the “heart-beat” of
the website, capable of providing accurate and instant notification when
problems occur at hosting level.
Domain Management
Newpath Web provide a secure centralised domain management system, interfacing
with various network monitoring tools, such as DNS report and look-ups, “who-is” information
and checking the consistency of the site’s IP’s. It also
provides interfaces to various third party site management tools such
as CPanel, Plesk for Windows and site statistics package such as AWStats.
Centralised Reporting
Newpath Web developed a Centralised Reporting System (CRS) to view clients’ statistics
and bandwidth usage. The Newpath Web CRS allows internal staff to access
the information above from one centralised system, allowing accurate monitoring
of bandwidth usage and email traffic.
System Redundancy
The system redundancy is a set of standard procedures applied on internal
and external servers. Rigorous tests are carried out on any server prior
to deployment, ensuring all servers meet the standard before being used
internally or externally. All servers deployed for internal purposes
or for client are using mirrored RAID (redundant array of independent
disks) drives for internal redundancy. RAID employs the technique of
disk stripping, which involves partitioning each drive's storage space
into units ranging up to several megabytes. The RAID implementation allows
for continuous service by the server should one of the disk drive fails.
Both internal and external servers are configured such that the Newpath
Web team can migrate from one server to another rapidly, with minimum
downtime.
All plans are managed. There is no obligation to use this benefit though
- if you prefer you can do all the management yourself.
Management includes the following:
- Assistance with configuration of services.
- Security improvement based on our observations.
- Service tweaking for optimised performance of your services.
- Control Panel support - we fully support all the control panels that we offer.
- Windows updates and security updates - we will take care of this on the hardware nodes. This also includes operating system upgrades.
With Newpath Web hosting solutions, you can trust that your site will
be available for clients to view and purchase from you 24/7.
