Hosting
We host what we build, on infrastructure we run and monitor ourselves. If something goes wrong at two in the morning, it is our problem before it is yours.
Cheap hosting is only cheap until the day you need it.
Most businesses find out what their hosting is worth during an outage, when the support line turns out to be a ticket form and the person answering has never seen the site before. By then the cost is measured in lost enquiries rather than pounds a month.
We host a number of sites we built ourselves. That means we know the stack, we know what normal looks like for your site and we can fix things without asking you to explain your own website back to us.
What's Covered
Everything that keeps the site standing up.
One monthly figure, with no line items for the things that should have been included in the first place.
-
Managed Servers
Your site runs on infrastructure we configure and maintain, tuned for the specific build rather than a shared box with four hundred neighbours on it.
-
Uptime Monitoring
We watch the site around the clock and get alerted the moment it stops responding, usually well before anyone else notices.
-
Backups & Recovery
Automated backups held away from the main server, with a tested route back if something ever needs restoring.
-
Security & Patching
Certificates, firewalls and platform updates applied as they are released, so known holes do not sit open for months.
-
Email & DNS
We look after the records behind your domain, including the ones that decide whether your email lands in an inbox or a spam folder.
-
Migrations
Moving an existing site onto our infrastructure, handled without downtime and without losing content along the way.
Websites, apps and whatever else has to stay online.
We are not only set up for websites. The same infrastructure runs web apps, mobile app backends, APIs and media storage, so as the business adds things you are not spreading them across four different providers with four different bills.
Everything sits behind load balancers, so traffic is spread across more than one server instead of piling onto a single machine. When you get a spike the site keeps answering, rather than falling over at the exact moment the most people are looking at it.
