The technology behind GURU’s hosting

Where our experience delivers

How GURU builds better hosting

Beware the non-cloud. Many providers claim their hosting is cloud based, but is in-fact VPS and tied to a single host – if the host fails, your service remains offline. GURU is true-cloud, where your service is not tied to any system and can be dynamically moved, balanced and tuned throughout our fully resilient cloud infrastructure.

Cloud System

Fully balanced and redundant, we’ve been building exacting systems for decades.

LiteSpeed Web Server

Supercharged Apache for the modern hosting world, with all the performance needed.

CloudLinux

Secure, contained and bursting with functionality – a system built ground-up for better hosting.

Advanced Hourly Offsite Backups

We know how important your data is and back it up regularly to a secure offsite location. Our 'Pro' services include hourly backups.

cPanel/WHM

Hosting powered by the number one easy to use control panel.

DataCentre

Secure 24x7 manned ISO27001 certified ultra-high speed UK datacentre with fully diverse and redundant power, cooling and connectivity.

Why Host in the UK?

Know where your data is located and keep it within a jurisdiction you know. With ultra-fast high speed connections, latency is a thing of the past.

Tried and Tested Branded Hardware

Our Cloud System is built on trusted names such as Dell, Intel and Juniper.

24/7 UK Based Support team

Our technical team are onsite at our Datacentre monitoring and managing the cloud platform 24/7 should any issue arise.
