Express Hosting UK operate a state of the art network utilising a vast number of technologies from industry's leading firms. Everything from hardware to software is chosen to provide the best possible uptime and performance to all our services.
Our bandwidth is provided by two BGP providers; BlueConnex Networks (AS29550 and AS34920) & Control Circle (AS31672). Both providers run a fully redundant network consisting of two seperate hardware vendors which provides redundancy not only in the network level, but also on the hardware level.
BlueConnex operates two separate 10 gigabit networks and also operates two independent IP Transit networks which run from multiple Cisco Systems 6509 routers at multiple London facilities (including; Telehouse East, TelecityGroup Harbour Exchange and TelecityGroup Sovereign House), offering true redundancy to each individual customer.
Control Circle operate a 20 gigabit dark-fibre metro ring connecting multiple London datacentres. The ring delivers high levels of performance and scalability, wrapped around 24/7/365 monitoring and management, enabling us to focus on our core business applications. ControlCircle’s core connectivity utilises infrastructure based on Cisco, Juniper and Brocade technologies in fully resilient mesh.
Both providers peer with multiple Tier-1 bandwidth providers including; Abovenet, Tisacli, Interoute, BT, Verizon, Global Crossing and Level(3).
Every part of our network, all the way down to the top-of-rack switches are setup in a fully redundant mesh, such that if we do have a hardware issue our secondary units will take over instantly causing zero downtime to services.
 Express Hosting's main "point of presence" (POP) is the Global Switch London 2 datacentre, Europe's largest purpose-built datacentre.
