UKDomains - Domain Registration and Web Site Hosting

Planning ahead is routine here at Namesco Limited not least for our Senior Network Managers. As we continue to grow at pace, we must upgrade and expand our Hosting Network Infrastructure.

Back in Autumn 2003, predictions showed that by the beginning of May 2004, we would require a significant upgrade to our master storage device (which holds web site data and backups) and our mail servers (so they can process and deliver more mail, more quickly).

Therefore, over the last 6 months, we have been carefully investigating and more recently testing new top-end Storage Hardware. A solution was purchased from one of the industry leaders in Storage Devices in March 2004 for £83,000 and is the highest performing NAS (Network Attached Storage) system in its class.

It is due to be integrated into our hosting Infrastructure in Telehouse London over the next 2 weeks and will significantly improve web site access speeds and mail delivery speeds.

There are 2 important points to make regarding this investment:

1) The new storage device and our resultant enhanced network infrastructure puts us in a powerful position and many steps ahead of most other companies providing similar web services. It allows us to further enhance and develop our hosting and e-mail offerings while at the same time delivering vastly improved access times and mail delivery transmission speeds.

2) The £83,000 spent on this new hardware was paid for out of Namesco's own cash reserves. This is crucial in your decision to become a new customer or to remain as one as it is stands testament to our sound business, ongoing sustainability and investment to improve all-round customer services.

Once the upgrades are complete, we will make a full announcement.

Thank you,
