Linux Server Hosting
High-performance Linux hosting, backed by in-house expertise
Linux is the best known and most used server operating system for demanding web environments, modelled on UNIX. As an open-source operating system, Linux sits underneath all other software on a computer, receiving requests from programs and relaying these requests to the computer’s hardware.
Linux is the preferred OS for web servers, WordPress builds, Dreamweaver applications and MySQL databases. Linux server hosting is ideal if you are using PHP, MySQL, Ruby. Python or Perl programming languages, or if your website displays information in newsletter, brochure or data sheet formats.
We are Linux experts, supporting all distributions of Linux on our ultra-secure, high-performance cloud platform. Our cloud servers are known for their speed, which is essential to service demanding Linux servers. Resources can be upgraded easily to ensure that your server and applications run seamlessly.
We only offer high-availability platforms. We offer replication and load balancing across data centres. This means that if there is a fatal incident at one DC, your traffic can automatically be routed to a secondary location in a matter of seconds.
Our data centres all offer multiple layers of redundancy for power and cooling, from a minimum of N+1 at some sites, right through to N+N at others. Power is fed diversely from separate national grids with UPS and on-site generators available to take over where necessary, ensuring no drop in service.
Our UK-based support team is here to support your machine and make complex hosting simple. We got rid of tiered support, so when you call, you get straight through to your dedicated technical support engineer 24/7/365 who will be ready to help you immediately.
In order to provide our strict 100% network up-time guarantee, Hyve’s global 2Tbit/s network peers directly with the world’s top Tier 1 bandwidth providers. Diversely routed, with no single point of failure, our network provides extremely low latency connectivity on a global scale.
Security is the backbone of our business. Therefore, to protect your business against malicious attacks, we have an extensive suite of security features available. We include 1GB of DDoS protection with every plan, at no additional cost.
Our Linux Servers offer unlimited scalability, meaning you can scale as you grow, as well as meet traffic spikes on-demand. With our infrastructure, we can also add extra CPU, RAM and HDD with 0% downtime.
Windows and Linux are two very different types of operating systems – each with unique advantages. Both Windows and Linux will work on any PC regardless of the operating system, but they both have their own distinctive characteristics. Find out more about the differences in our blog.
Breath of fresh air! Such a responsive and knowledgeable support team. Been with Hyve for over a year now, every time I request help I’m blown away!
Recently switched from UKFast to Hyve. So far such a fantastic experience, the support team helped migrate and sort out all initial hickups. Onto a roaring new start with the brand spanking new shiny high availability server :)
When you are creating a shortlist of companies for your next cloud hosting project, it’s important to look into their compliance and accreditations.
Hyve has worked diligently to secure externally audited certifications in ISO 27001(Information Security), ISO 27017 (Cloud Security) and ISO9001 (Management systems). We have also been awarded PCI-DSS compliance, are Cyber Essentials Plus certified and are part of the government G-Cloud 13 framework, as well as a Crown Commercial supplier.
As a hosting provider that hosts some of the UK’s critical infrastructure, we comply fully with the NIS Regulation 2018, which was formulated by the NCSC (part of GCHQ) to boost the overall level of security (both cyber and physical) of network and digital information systems.
