In May 2018 when we opened our new purpose-built Eco Data Centre, one of the prime objectives was to build an Ecological Energy Efficient Data Centre.

Since the opening of our Eco Data Centre, we have been working to improve the efficiency, this includes developing a Direct Air (DA), Free Air Cooling and Heat Recovery System.

The system uses the mild climate we have here in the UK to cool our Eco Data Centre using digitally controlled EC Ducting Fans with the waste warm air circulated within our facility. This keeps our Servers cool and our Office at a snug 20°C even on the coldest days.  

We have been operating our Free Air Cooling and Heat Recovery system since the start of this winter and during that time have not needed any additional heating in our Office, even during the recent snowy period.

The new system has reduced our facilities Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) rating to just 1.16 making it one of the most efficient Data Centres in the world.

Brexit is almost here and while the politicians cannot make their minds up if the UK will be leaving, staying, no-dealing or dealing with the EU, one thing is for sure, unless the UK ends up staying UK owners of .EU domains will lose their .EU domains in as little as 3 months!

The European Commission who set the rules on who can register .EU domains have told the EURid registry that runs the .EU namespace that they must revoke .EU domains that have a UK registrant address.

This date could be as soon as the end of May 2019 if the UK leave the EU with no-deal or December 2020 if the UK leaves with a deal.

The EURid registry has issued the following notice which has further information on how Brexit will affect .EU domains:

If you are the owner of a .EU domain and live within the UK then it is worth investigating moving to an alternative domain.

At Web Wiz we can help you transition to a new domain name. Just contact us for more information.

Web Wiz is pleased to announce the release of our updated Web Hosting and Reseller Web Hosting Packages based on the Windows Server 2019 platform.

Windows Server 2019 with IIS 10 offers many new features and enhancements over previous versions including improved support for HTTP/2 and OCSP Stapling.

HTTP/2 significantly speeds up the loading times of websites that use SSL/TLS. If you want to take advantage of the extra speed that HTTP/2 provides you will also need to have an SSL Certificate for your website, which Web Wiz are able to provide.
