HOSTING AND DEV OPS
It’s important that your site not only looks good but performs well. Poorly performing sites will not only lose you customers but can also prevent you being found in search engines.
Our dedicated hosting service includes regular maintenance, optimisation and software updates to ensure your website is reliable, secure and fast – providing a faultless user experience to your website visitors. We guarantee 99.99% server uptime with expert help on hand if you need it.
What’s more, with regular off-site back-ups of your website and a weekly snapshot of your server, you’ll have the added confidence that key files can be recovered and restored if needed.
YOUR OWN DEDICATED SERVER
All our clients have their own dedicated high-spec hosting server, providing high levels of protection and performance. This is a must for Ecommerce websites with extensive product catalogues, processing large volumes of financial transactions.
Security is a key priority for us. And with regular security testing and monitoring, you can be confident that your website is safe.
We guarantee 99.99% server uptime, with the assurance that should we fall below this standard we will refund the hosting subscription fees for the time the service was unavailable.
RIGOROUS TESTING AND MONITORING
Our support engineers and developers will back-up your data before making any changes to your website or server. All code changes and software updates will be made first on a staging server (on a copy of your website) and thoroughly tested before being implemented on your live site – reducing the risk of disruption to your customers. Your server availability and key resources will be monitored 24/7 and any alerts are sent to our support team when performance falls below acceptable levels.
In addition, we also perform manual checks before putting any software changes live – an extra level of diligence not offered by many hosting providers.
We are also able to provide our clients with a single or annual penetration test to ensure your digital assets are secure and add an extra layer of confidence within your website. To find out more about our penetration test read our Safeguard Your Digital Assets page.
