This article explains where Web60 hosts your website and what infrastructure supports your WordPress site.
Data Centre Location
Web60 hosts all websites in data centres located in Dublin, Ireland. Your website files, database, and email are stored on servers in these facilities.
The Dublin location means:
- Your website loads faster for Irish and UK visitors
- Your data stays within the EU for GDPR compliance
- Lower latency (delay) for users in Ireland and Britain
Server Infrastructure
Web60 uses enterprise-grade servers with the following specifications:
Storage: All websites use SSD (Solid State Drive) storage. SSDs are much faster than traditional hard drives, which means your website loads quicker for visitors.
Redundancy: Your website data is stored on multiple drives simultaneously. If one drive fails, your website continues running without interruption.
Network: Multiple internet connections ensure your website stays online even if one connection has problems.
Content Delivery Network (CDN)
Web60 includes a CDN with your hosting. A CDN copies your website's images and files to servers around the world. When someone visits your website from Cork, they get files from Dublin. When someone visits from New York, they get files from a server closer to them.
The CDN is enabled automatically. You don't need to configure anything.
Backup Infrastructure
Your website is backed up daily to separate storage systems within the same data centre. These backups are kept for 30 days.
Backups include:
- All your website files
- Your WordPress database
- Email accounts and messages
You can restore from any backup date through your control panel.
Network Security
The data centres include:
- 24/7 physical security
- Fire suppression systems
- Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
- Diesel generators for extended power outages
- Climate control to keep servers at optimal temperature
Monitoring
Web60 monitors server performance every minute. If any server shows problems, technical staff receive automatic alerts and can fix issues before they affect your website.
You can check your website's current status and performance through your hosting control panel.
If you're still stuck or need specific information about your website's server location, contact Web60 support through your control panel or email.

A: No, all Web60 websites are hosted in Dublin data centres. This location provides the best performance for Irish businesses and their customers.
