ClanWebs are a part of Griffin Technologies, and we have been offering our services to the online gaming community since 2005. ClanWebs was born out of the need to find value for money web hosting services. All too often web hosts offer packages that do not offer a full range of services required to make even a basic website, without the need to purchase extra resources. We decided that we would offer 3 hosting packages to meet any size clans requirements and budget. This has now evolved into 6 packages, with the addition of Clan Lite, Unlimited, and Forum.
The first 12 months were spent laying the foundations and getting ourselves known to the gaming community. With the introduction of our Gameserver rental business in July 2006, (CounterServers)
and an aggresive advertising campaign, things have taken off since August 2006. We are now into our third year, and have become firmly established with a good customer base. If you decide to host your website with us you can rely on us to be around for the duration of your contract and beyond.
We believe that creating a successful web site should be easy and affordable. Our pledge is to provide you the best-quality, most fully-featured services at reasonable prices. We include not only everything you need to build a great website, but everything else you would expect to find from any other web hosting company.
Many people are put off renting web space because they either don't know what to do with it, or cannot be bothered with the time consuming process of getting their website put together. Let us do all the work for you, while you get on with playing the game. Even once your site is up and running, it will be easily managed through the Admin Control Panel. No Knowledge of HTML, PHP, MySQL or coding is required.
We offer a wide variety of standard themes that we will customise to make your site more individual. The opportunity is also available for a one off theme to be custom made for an extra fee.
We will install any script you require. Including other Content management Systems such as Joomla and Xoops. We will also install many other applications such as PHPBB, SMF, Vwar and Psychostats. If you require us to install your web site for you, please raise a support ticket after you have completed your purchase.
We pride ourselves on our level of support, your custom is so important to us. Pre-sales enquiries are welcomed, and we will endeavour to help you in any way we can. From the moment you order you will have our full attention and expertise at your disposal. Our aim is to get your site up and running as soon as possible, and let you get on with your gaming.
ClanWebs is run by gamers, for gamers. We know exactly what you need to make a great Web Site for your Clan. Our tools and resources are developed with the user in mind. For the beginner, we offer e107 CMS hosting that is easy to use and fully customisable. But you do not have to go this route... For the expert, we are compatible with all major web publishing tools and offer a wide array of resources to enhance your website.
Real Time Set-up
Using our automated ordering system, you can buy your domain and web hosting and it will be set-up in 'real time'. Your hosting will be setup and ready to use instantly. If you already own a domain, you can include this in our automated order system, and once again your account will be instantly set-up. All you need to do is change your domains nameservers to ours. (Nameservers will be sent with your account details)
As one of our customers you will have access to a private area of our site. Here you can see at a glance all services ordered from us, when you need to renew your services, view the Knowledge Base and submit Support Tickets. As well as ordering any further services, and on-line renewals.
Hosting Control Panel
All of our hosting packages (Except Clan Forum), come with our powerful 'Hosting Control Panel'.
From here you can configure email, and ftp settings. Setup and manage databases, subdomains. Have full control over your site using the file and script manager.
As well as access to over £300 of free software, and many pre-installed programs and scripts. Running your site could not be easier.
For a live demo of our hosting Control Panel click here. You can see for yourself how easy it is to set everything up.
Please be aware that certain features, such as Web Resources, FTP and File Manager have been disabled for security reasons.
Install Services
We also offer a web setup service for e107, Psychostats2, and VWar. So even if you don't have the "know how" of setting up a great Clan site, you can still have one.
Everything on your site is fully configurable through the easy to use Admin control panel in e107. You can also change the entire look of your site, with a few clicks of your mouse button. So even if your Clan changes the type of game you play, or you get bored with the look, you dont have to start your site from scratch again.
Due to its many security problems, we no longer install PHP-Nuke in any form. You may install it yourself if you wish, but no support will be given for any issues that may arise.
100% Dell Servers
We only use Dell servers in our web hosting platform, utilising state-of-the-art technology we have built a web hosting platform that is second to none.
Our platform is designed in such a way that if any server fails another server automatically and without delay takes over that servers workload. For example if one of our mail servers were to break down, another server would automatically come online, with all the correct configuration and take over the work of the failed server, in this period no email would be lost.
As well as this, all data is stored in two large network disk arrays, data is automatically synchronised between the arrays so that in the event of an array failing the remaining array continues to serve data to the servers
Server Specifications
Dual Intel® Xeon Core Processor 3.6GHz with 2MB Cache
4 GB SDRAM
Dual 36 GB SCSI Drive (for the operating system)
RAID Mirroring (for the operating system)
Dual Power Supplies
Dual Gigabit Network Adapters
100% Cisco Gigabit Network
Our network operates on industry leading network equipment from Cisco Systems, all our switches and routers are developed by Cisco. Our network is based on gigabit technology which means that it runs at a speed of 1000 Mb per second, most web hosting networks are limited to 100 Mb per second.
Our network also utilises 100% CAT6 network cable, CAT6 cable contains four pairs of copper wire and unlike CAT5, utilises all four pairs. CAT6 supports Gigabit (1000 Mbps) Ethernet and supports communications at more than twice the speed of CAT5e, the other popular standard for Gigabit Ethernet cabling
Redhat Enterprise Linux Platform
Redhat is the leading provider of Linux open source software, for many years now Redhat Linux has been the number one choice for web hosting companies. Not just because of Redhat's amazing scalability but also because of its track record as the most stable operating system available in the market today.
Our systems utilise the latest Redhat server technology to allow our servers to be continually up to date with Redhat system & security patches.
Unlike many of our competitors we run Redhat Enterprise Linux, the most stable release of Redhat Linux available and the only version that stays totally up to date with security patches.
Connectivity
We operate a multi-homed network utilising BGP4 technology, simply put we have multiple connections to the Internet with different backbone providers, should any connection fail our other connections automatically take all the traffic.
Not only does this mean that we are very unlikely to lose connectivity to the Internet but it also means that traffic moving to and from our network can choose from a range of paths to get to it's final destination, this means that we have been able to configure the network to always take the fastest paths.
