Hosting

Ensuring that your website is available to the public 24 hours a day is essential, as a slow or non working website reduces consumer confidence in your business. A web server which is down in its simplest terms is the equivalent of having a shop with the closed sign on it when it should be open.

Effectively a web server is simply a computer which is permanently switched on, displays your website to visitors on their computers. The important thing is to have a web server which is fast at serving web pages, reliable, and has the versatility to allow us to add interactive elements to your site.   Since we started in 2000, we have hosted our server in the UK’s largest and most reliable data facility and are proud to say that we have not increased prices in over a decade.

Web hosting can be purchased for up to £4 a month cheaper than our service, however, we insist on using the best as that saved £1 per week may result in your website being down and you losing a sale which is far more valuable. For our e-commerce sites we use specialist servers with a support team who understand our e-commerce framework.  In the very rare event of an error we can understand exactly what’s happening and rectify any problem. In the last 10 years, we have only had two issues that were dealt with promptly and with minimum disruption.
