Making sure your website is seen
It's no good having a world class, top ranked and standards compliant site if no-one can see it. We help you choose the right hosting solution for your budget, to ensure your site's availability.
From free["free" hosting options may require setup fees - free refers to the monthly running costs] basic hosting options, to cast-iron, multi-site, multi-redundant systems for the largest of eCommerce solutions, and every level in between. We carefully consider your needs and search for the best hosting provider at the best price.
Bomb-proof
Web hosting requires substantial investment - data centres that can withstand the most brutal of weather conditions, acts of violence, and security attacks are built like bomb shelters with the security of prisons. Good data centres offer levels of fault-tolerance, including machine breakdowns, power fluctuations and maintenance outages that would be hard to replicate individually for any one company. These centres make their money by doing this on a vast scale, selling "slots" to companies to sell on.
There is now a good level of competition among some very reputable hosting providers. For each new website we find the best hosting plan to suit our client, delivering the best value for money. We can also source the best offer for you when it's time to renew.
Availability
Availability is measured as a percentage of the total time your site is actually available to be browsed by the public. Often quoted as "99.9%", or as "3N" = Ninety Nine point Nine percent!
Other factors are important too, such as network speed, latency and redundant trunk lines (multi point presence).
Some of the best facilities also provide co-hosting, where a duplicate of your site is hosted in a second data centre located in a different geographical region - truly bomb proof.
It's important to ensure your investment is adequately protected, and will provide years of uninterrupted service to you and your customers. You shouldn't pay more than you need to, and finding the right balance between security and cost is vital.
