Hosting and Domains

Web Hosting and Domains

As part of our service Qivva provide web hosting and domain names at competitive prices. We use an award-winning hosting service, which is fully compatible with the Content Management System and databases that we use.

Our hosting solution uses only Dell servers utilising state-of-the-art technology. Our platform is designed in such a way that if any server fails another server automatically and without delay takes over that server's workload. For example, if one of our mail servers breaks down another server automatically comes online, with all the correct configuration, and takes over the work of the failed server. During this period no email is 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 with no downtime.

Server Specification

The current server specification is:

Connectivity

Our hosts 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 our hosts are very unlikely to lose connectivity to the Internet, but it also means that traffic moving to and from the network can choose from a range of paths to get to its final destination. This means that our hosts have been able to configure the network always to take the fastest paths.

    Email Distribution Lists

    Email distribution lists allow you to have a simple form on your website with which your users can subscribe or unsubscribe their email address. You can then send an email to all members of the list using our simple system.
    (This form can be added to a classic website, the Content Management System provides a better integrated solution)

    This feature allows an email address on your account to automatically respond with a specific message.

    Junk Mail Filters

    Junk mail filters use special technology to strip out junk mail before you receive it. This feature also allows you to set an address to send the junk mail to so that you can check this address to ensure that only junk mail is being caught.
