UK dedicated servers for advanced performance
A web host places what you want on the web. Just like a shop needs premises, an online business needs virtual space.
The Internet is the world’s youngest and fastest growing industry. It allows you to reach a wider audience. To compete in this environment, a business needs an impressive and informative website looked after by a fast and reliable host. Too many businesses still believe their website is a secondary asset and they settle for cheap, shared hosting.
What is shared hosting?
Shared hosting is when hundreds, often thousands of companies are placed in the same server. By sharing the server, you reduce your costs. But there are costly downsides. Your site will get very little of the server’s resources, so it will slow down or even stop during busy periods.
You are also reliant on your neighbours being knowledgeable and vigilant. If another site causes the server to be blocked or get hacked, your site will be affected by default. If your site makes £1,000 a day, it takes two days to fix the problem, you’ll wish you had adopted a more professional approach.

What are the benefits of dedicated servers?
Apart from having sole control of the server’s memory and processing power, dedicated servers are more secure, as no other company has access to your box. Also Google and other search engines take into consideration the speed of your site when calculating positions in their results.
Dedicated servers can transform your online presence, enabling it to fulfill its full potential by running it from an environment that provides a high speed Internet connection, together with performance and temperature monitoring.
Is it more costly?
Not if it brings you more business. A faster site will bring more customers and improve their experience. They will in turn revisit and recommend you. And a good hosting provider will tailor costs according to your size. Then once your dedicated server’s ready, they will focus on improving the functionality of the site itself.
When you choose a host you'll also have to pick a platform, we offer either Windows or Linux.
