Ireland’s leading domain registrar and hosting company are pleased to announce that the next step in the evolution of hosting is now available from the Blacknight store.
"NG" or "Next Generation" hosting uses clustering, load balancing, and site isolation to achieve high website density. The result is increased stability for all users. Meaning a single site can no longer take down a web server. It scales up so users can’t affect each other.
NG Hosting is also IPV6 enabled. Users will have a shared IPv4 address and a dedicated IPv6 address, which will be hosted out of the Blacknight data centre in Carlow. Blacknight is the first company to offer IPv6 shared hosting to the Irish market.
In terms of database servers, MySQL 5.1.73 or newer will be provided initially. However Blacknight will have newer versions of MySQL down the road. Blacknight is also using 6 core Xeon E5 series servers with 64GB of ram for the new shared hosting platform giving optimal performance.
