Whilst working in the web industry since 2000 and gradually building the web hosting side of the business (since 2011), we have worked with and resold hosting services from many of the top web providers (eg. IONOS, GoDaddy, Fasthosts, Siteground, TSOhost, Heart Internet, etc.) and over time we have found fundamental flaws with each service, which have hugely affected the scalability and stability of the websites we have built and hosted for our customers. This process has been long winded and sometimes painful…
…But it has been worthwhile.
This experience has enabled us to fine tune our hosting requirements, making it possible to offer our customers the best possible web hosting service for small to medium businesses that money can buy, at very competitive rates. After 10+ years of trial and error, we now offer a hosting service that is robust, scalable, consistent and affordable.
Today, we host and manage 100’s of websites for our customers and we are extremely proud of the platform that we can offer.
