performance and reliability |
Total
Registrations is supported by the most reliable online
domain registration system available, so that you can
register domains and access your domain management facility
24 hours a day, 7 days a week*. Whether you register tens
or thousands of domains, you will need to do so as quickly
and efficiently as possible, which is why we have invested
in the very best server technology for our service.
The use of reliable, high performance technology makes
system failures highly unlikely, but if a problem arises,
redundancy is deployed at every level to ensure your service
is not affected. Redundancy through power, network, server
and disk, means, there will be an automatic and almost
immediate switch to a second facility, should a failure
occur at the first.

Our
high performance servers are located at MaNAP, the second
UK Internet peering point. MaNAP is our access point
to the Internet, where we have high performance routers
connected to the Internet backbone through two Internet
Access Providers (IAP's). MaNAP provides optimum protection
for our servers by providing 24 hour security, CCTV,
backup power generators and fire protection systems.
In the unlikely event that there is a problem, our engineers
are on call 24 hours a day and are paged automatically.
*Registration services should only
be unavailable when a Registry is undergoing scheduled
maintenance. If this situation does occur, you should
still be able to access your account.
