Hosting Solutions
We use the latest hardware and the fastest networks to deliver the quickest and most reliable hosting service for your sites and applications. Lantek hosting is low contention, high speed, and high reliability. Fully managed, 24 hours monitoring, off-site backups.

Dedicated Hosting
Dedicated hosting provides high reliability and performance by combining powerful web servers, high-speed connections, and a non-shared environment.  Whilst the server is dedicated to hosting just a single website, the server is managed 24x7 by Lantek, ensuring superior uptime and availability.

Dedicated hosting also allows for the provision of 'high availability' using a cluster of servers in a load balanced configuration (see diagram to the right). Incoming web requests are directed to different physical servers to help manage capacity and load. In the event of a server failure, another server is available to continue serving web requests. This type of hosting is particularly suited to high capacity websites where a single server would not be capable of handling the load, or when very high reliability is required for mission-critical sites and applications.

Shared Hosting
Shared Hosting uses the concept of hosting multiple web sites, on a a shared server. By sharing the server resources amongst several web sites, costs are reduced and allows a powerful hosting platform to be affordable to small businesses. While our shared hosting solution does involve multiple websites on a single server, it should be noted that we use a very low ratio of sites per server. Typically 10 sites maximum would be hosted on a shared platform. The industry normal would be upwards of 1000.
