Hosting and Email
Our web hosting servers are commercial grade. This ensures reliability and uptime. We also only use UK data centres for speed and ease of maintenance.
We are keen to minimise our carbon footprint. We use low carbon/green data centers where possible and make the most efficient use of resources available specifying energy efficient processors, hard drives and servers.
Email facilities are also included in our hosting packages, with full FREE telephone and technical support.
Should your mail server get reputation issues, we will investigate the cause of the problem and restore your reputation. We strongly recommend that our clients use a good quality, current and updated anti virus program.
All of our sites come with a complete SSL security certificate to encrypt all traffic to and from the website. (https is used instead of http to access these sites).
With security becoming a factor search engines take into account and your clients deserving a reassurance that your site is safe, a quality SSL certificate should be a priority.
Our dedicated server options are used for high traffic sites with redundancy and back up servers available. We use fast Raid servers with SSD drives to ensure optimum website performance. Some of our sites happily serve in excess of 10,000 page views per day which has required us to focus on performance and resilience when configuring a server (many hosts struggle with less than 20% of that load).
If your site is frequently updated we recommend a backup option to maintain integrity should a server ever fail or go down. (It’s not happened yet.)
We also patch update and secure the servers on a regular basis to avoid unnecessary downtime and to close any vulnerabilities that arise.
Please note that we do not generally offer web hosting in isolation, unless we can verify and fully audit your website code and databases for security, and performance.
