VPS in a BOX hosting is a provider of a high-availability, managed hosting architecture that permits clients to host online systems on our network. All dedicated servers are in one of IS Hosting’s Data Centers (these are in Johannesburg (Rosebank and Bryanston), Durban, Cape Town and London) and are connected directly to the IS public network. We allocate the exact volume of space required to ensure that space is used efficiently and without wastage. The environment incorporates a number of physical and logical security measures to ensure access to servers is tightly controlled. The Data Centers also make use of redundant and uninterruptible power supplies and have carefully controlled temperature and humidity. A number of peripheral systems, integrated with a 24-hour helpdesk, are configured to provide services such as backups, hardware monitoring and web statistics.
