Infrastructure
Datacenter & network
A local data center in Kathmandu and international locations, on redundant power, cooling and network.
Web Host Nepal runs a globally distributed platform: redundant server infrastructure spread across several locations rather than one room.
Local data center, Kathmandu
Our local data center in Kathmandu, Nepal is the hub for hosting services within the country. It is equipped for high availability, with the infrastructure and security measures set out below.
International data centers
We also run data centers outside Nepal, including locations in France, Germany and the UK. They are positioned to give clients outside the country reasonable coverage and performance.
White-labelled for resellers
The cluster runs a range of operating systems, so resellers can offer their customers a wide set of hosting options. The servers and their IP addresses are white-labelled and cannot be traced back to us.
If you resell, the name servers for anything hosted on them are your own branded name servers. For every practical purpose the cluster reads as your servers to your customers.
Inside the facility
Network, power, cooling and fire
- UplinksGigabit ethernet connections
- ProvidersSeparate backbone providers
- DesignRedundant routes to the internet
- IncomingA multiple of what the datacenter needs to run
- FailoverAutomatic transfer switch starts a generator
- ConditioningRedundant UPS systems for clean power
- UnitsRedundant air-conditioning systems
- LoadEach runs at a fraction of its capacity
- RotationUnits alternated to keep each in condition
- DetectionAdvanced smoke detection
- SuppressionSystems built specifically for server rooms
- Not waterWater-based systems damage servers as much as fire
How the platform is run
Security, scale and reach
Staffed and watched
The data center is staffed 24 hours a day and movement through the facility is escorted at all times. Closed-circuit monitoring covers every area and entrance 24×7, alongside access control and the on-site security team.
Hundreds of servers
Hundreds of distributed servers, integrated so that services stay available rather than depending on any one machine.
n+1 architecture
The architecture is built on high availability, clustering and n+1. We add capacity by adding infrastructure and linking it in, which keeps scalability, uptime and network response our problem rather than yours.
Global reach
We and our partners have deployed infrastructure at locations around the world. We handle the selection, negotiation and relationship management with those infrastructure providers.
