Why should you host your data in the UK?

There are certainly many benefits of a business making Ridgeon Network its choice for FTP hosting. These range from the more than 15 years for which the company has been providing professional Internet services to such finer points of its FTP hosting specification as a full online control panel and scalable storage capacities from 1GB to 4TB (over 4000GB) and beyond. Clients of Ridgeon Network can also take advantage of same-day setup and a dedicated static IP address that provides their business with a single point of access.

However, there's another very significant advantage of Ridgeon Network's FTP hosting: a UK-based data centre. Our own data centre is in the Midlands and provides your firm with an Enterprise-level facility for the hosting of Business Internet Services. Having all of our equipment and infrastructure not only solely owned by us, but also located at close hand enables us to quickly access our network and provide you with higher quality service and support. Locally based professional servers and infrastructure equipment also give you the assurance of the highest speed connectivity directly to the Internet.

When you want to ensure the best performance from your FTP hosting, it's best to have your data hosted in the UK. It enables us to monitor our services on a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week basis, for example, to ensure that you benefit from the highest possible availability and swiftest support turnarounds. A problem may arise with your hosting outside working hours, in which case our support staff will be immediately notified so that it can be promptly and efficiently addressed. It is extremely useful for any business when any technical issues with their data centre can often be fixed before they have even become aware of it.

Having our data centre here in the Midlands also means that when you contact us, you aren't dealing with a distant call centre, but instead those who actually have access to your infrastructure and are best-placed - including in experience and training - to respond to your query. Finally, there are the key features of the UK-based data centre and network themselves to consider, including N+1 Resilient power with backup UPS for all systems and diesel generators for continued operation during any power outage.

Choosing FTP hosting from Ridgeon Network also means benefitting from redundant enterprise-level connectivity to core Internet networks and high-speed international connectivity. It also means the pleasure of a facility offering such perks as 24-hour access, 24-hour manned security with a perimeter fence, electrically controlled gates and CCTV, FM200 fire suppression systems and on-site technical support staff and network monitoring.
