Spiral Hosting, Irelands Fastest WebHost, are delighted to announce our datacenter has been accepted as a new member to INEX (Internet Neutral Exchange).
INEX is a neutral, industry-owned Association, founded in 1996, that provides IP peering facilities from two locations in Dublin.
INEX’s objective to provide high-speed, reliable and resilient IP traffic exchange facilities for both Irish and international IP service and content providers, allowing them to route IP traffic efficiently within Ireland and thereby provide faster, more reliable and lower-latency Internet access for their customers.
Our datacenter, Webworld Ireland, was founded in 1998. As one of Irelands longer established HSPs, it has a custom built network which provides us with some of the fastest connections in Ireland.
Spiral Hosting is delighted to announce that this weekend we will be launching new high performance servers in our Dublin datacenter. The servers have been purpose built for a 24/7 web-serving environment, backed by our super-fast network and 24-hour support.
These will be our fastest servers yet with maximum diskspace, memory and bandwidth. They are currently going through robust speed, reliability and security testing. This announcement demonstrates our commitment to offering the best webhosting service in Ireland.
The new servers will be packed with the latest features and web technologies, including Ruby on Rails and tonnes of extras including one-click installation scripts.
This is a notice to customers with websites on our supertuxy server that on Friday 22nd June 2007 at 17:00 IST (6pm GMT) our technicians will take the server offline for a memory upgrade. Customers on other servers will not be affected.
The upgrade should take 10 to 15 minutes maximum and will result in improved server performance especially during peak times.
UPDATE: The upgrade was completed successfully. The server is back online and considerably faster!
