Our Network
Stormnet Hosting operates a powerful, BGP-enabled network that easily supports thousands of customers at once and can handle sudden traffic spikes from things like product launches, promotions, or online gaming. We’re always investing in our network to keep it reliable, fast, and ready for the future.
High-speed MPLS Network
Stormnet Hosting runs a fast, reliable network across multiple UK data centres, built for speed, security, and redundancy. Each of our Points of Presence includes multiple backup routes to the internet, with all connections between sites running at least 10Gb/s. We use the latest Juniper MX routers at the network edge, directly linked to Juniper MX core routers in our data centres. Our network is designed from the ground up to deliver top performance and dependable service.
Carrier Neutral & Resilient
We also connect through multiple 10Gb/s+ uplinks to top Tier 1 transit providers like NTT and GTT. Additionally, we’re active on several London internet exchanges and have direct peering with providers such as Sky Broadband, Cloudflare, Zen Internet, Hurricane Electric, and hundreds more. This ensures we use the best routes with minimal latency for sending and receiving traffic across networks. Thanks to this diverse mix of transit partners, we deliver fast, low-latency connections to the EMEA region, the USA, and beyond.
Global Connections. Global Connectivity.
Our UK-based data centres connect to our resilient 100Gbps+ UK core network, featuring advanced routing, robust peering, and transit to ensure fast content delivery and low latency worldwide. Alongside our core-level intelligent anti-DDoS protection, we partner with multiple upstream providers to offer ‘always-on’ dedicated clean inbound connections for all customer services.
Directly Connected
We utilise DWDM wavelengths for all core backbone links to guarantee maximum stability and full manageability. Unlike other providers, we do not rely on GRE tunnels or third-party Ethernet solutions for these connections.
Low Latency
Our diverse mix of transit and DDoS mitigation partners enables us to provide low-latency connections to the EMEA region, the USA, and beyond. This is complemented by direct cross-connects available at all our facilities.
DDoS Protection
All VPS servers, websites, dedicated servers, and colocation services hosted by Stormnet Hosting come with built-in DDoS protection by default. We also offer the flexibility to adjust filtering sensitivity as needed.
Network Security
For customers seeking enhanced security, we offer managed firewalls, private VLANs, L2VPN connections between all our data centres, and more.
Monitoring & Alerting
Monitored 24/7 by our Network Operations Centre, our team is promptly notified of any anomalies, including link failures, BGP session drops, DDoS attacks, and more.
World-class Hardware
We exclusively use Juniper equipment at both the core and edge of our network, simplifying management, ensuring compatibility and security, and maintaining uniformity across all devices.
