We directly provide hosting for our customers' sites as a way to provide a better service, firstly by being in control of the whole system from the Operating System to the individual software packages and their configuration.

Our basic service includes full email, web and DNS hosting of a customer's domain for £8.50(+VAT) per month.

We host our clients' domains on our own servers, colocated in London at one of the largest and better connected facilities in the UK. Hosting can be provided on a shared server or on dedicated virtual or physical servers.

If it is required, we are happy to help with the process of domain registration and initial configuration as part of the service.

We will also be available to help set up a new website and advise on software and security issues. For a very reasonable fee, we can design interactive websites and supporting databases: software is our passion and to make it look good we rely on design professionals such as our partner Cacao.

Basic Hosting

With our basic hosting package we provide all that's necessary to create and maintain a presence on the Internet.
The customer's domain is served by our main shared server which acts as a mail, web, database and DNS server.
The operating system is Linux and PHP scripting and MySQL database access are provided.

In addition to the standard server applications, we provide full online website statistics, spam filter, multiple mailboxes, secure file transfer, webmail and control panel.

Despite the shared resources, we keep high security standards to protect customer information from unauthorised access, by the general public or by fellow customers alike, and since this is not an automated server farm, a human will always be at hand to provide support and help with technical matters, allowing a high degree of flexibility in customising the service for the individual domains.

Dedicated servers

This option provides a whole standalone server on the internet under complete control of the customer, with the ability to run services of various nature in addition to all the features provided by our basic hosting package, which we will install and configure in advance.
Advantages of a dedicated server are: increased security and confidentiality, ability to install and run additional software, choice of operating system, own IP address.

The dedicated server runs in a Virtual Machine within a physical server, which might be shared with others, but to all effects it is a separate entity on the internet. The shared physical resources (network, disk, memory) make this choice not suitable for high performance applications such as those involving streaming or computation intensive applications, while it is perfectly adequate for classic internet services such as mail and web applications.

A real, physical server for advanced applications: full control of the system's software AND hardware, no shared resources.
Ideal for high-volume, computation-intensive and custom applications.
