A new IP Address system known as IPv6 is slowly being introduced.

Web Wiz was allocated our first IPv6 Address allocation from RIPE at the beginning of this year. We have created the following page on IPv6 to inform customers about what IPv6 is and our deployment of IPv6 across our network.

This places Web Wiz  with other major Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and allows us to make direct IP address allocations on behalf of our customers.

Although the internet is mostly unregulated, the allocation and registration of Internet number resources (IP Addresses) is controlled very carefully by five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs).

The Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC) is an independent, not-for-profit membership organisation and serves as one of five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs). Its service region incorporates Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia. The RIPE NCC is responsible for the allocation and assignment of Internet Protocol (IP) address space, Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) and the management of reverse domain names within RIPE NCC service region. 

More information on RIPE can be found at www.ripe.net]]> Tue, 28 Feb 2012 13:47:42 +0000 http://blogs.webwiz.co.uk/web-wiz-becomes-an-independent-local-internet-registry-lir_post75.html 2012-02-28 13:47:42 Web Wiz Celebrates 10th Anniversary http://blogs.webwiz.co.uk/web-wiz-celebrates-10th-anniversary_post70.html Web Wiz turns 10 this month!

Our Highly Available Servers hosted on Active Clustered Nodes are able to failover, with no interruption to service, to Passive Clustered Nodes in the event of hardware failure, maintenance, or upgrades.
 
High Availability Failover Hosting for Shared Hosting and Hyper-V Virtual Server Hosting is a similar solution to more expensive solutions used to host high traffic mission critical websites.
