Web Hosting - Compare our speed

Dasuni use a hosting partner who are one of the fastest UK web hosts.

We compared web sites hosted by two well known UK web hosting companies with a site hosted by our hosting partner using a "traceroute" tool.

We compared the the number of computers between the test computer and the hosting company's server using a "traceroute" tool. This is referred to as "hops" in the table below. The more hops there are , the more potential points of failure exist between the user and the server.

We also measured the ping time (the length of time in milliseconds that it takes for data to get from the server back to the computer). The longer the ping time the longer it will take for pages to respond.

Dasuni's hosting partner is faster because they have servers located in London near the London Internet Exchange where most UK ISP's exchange data with other ISP's and web hosting companies. Plus, because they have an international presence we can provide hosting in the US or Canada if you ever need it.

Disclaimer: All of the traceroutes were taken within minutes of each other using a standard 512k ADSL line. These timings may not represent what you can achieve from your location and are designed to give an indication of how Polygon's hosting partners network topology compares to other web hosts. No guarantee of real speeds is implied or suggested. The hosts were tested on 25th August 2004 using the IP addresses of customer web sites on their servers. We recommend you try testing them yourselves.
