About Host Yorkshire

Host Yorkshire is based in Barnsley, United Kingdom and have been providing internet solutions for business and home users since 1989.

In 2003 we started offering our low cost shared hosting service. The support and reliability we offer has proven to be the key factor in our ability to be a competitive force in the ever growing hosting market.

In addition to hosting we provide bespoke internet solutions that are tailored to your needs, including but not limited to web site and intranet design, consultation and education. We also have a special services team that work world wide in any location of your choice.

Our Network

Downtime is not an option for your web site. That's why we invest heavily in hardware and facilities that ensure that our clients are up and running on the web 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

We host in multiple state-of-the-art Network Operation Centers (NOC's) located world wide. There are all staffed 24/7/365 and include backup diesel generators and are equipped with VESDA fire suppression systems, designed to immediately extinguish fire and protect equipment and personnel.

All NOC's have have multiple redundancy. Host Yorkshires providers also have peering connections with other major Tier 1 providers that allow traffic to be switched to alternate backbones should the need arise.

Often providers operate their networks at three to four times responsible capacity, and as a result the corresponding transfer times reach over 300ms for each hop along the net.

Our network daily average is 6.5% of its capacity, with mid-day peak spikes reaching only 15.5% capacity. Our transfer times range from 15 to 80ms routinely.
