When we began web design & development, we were often asked by our clients to find, and set up, suitable hosting for their business websites.

It soon became obvious, that to provide a good service, it would make sense to set up our own hosting service. Therefore, we have secured our own private server which allows us greater control to configure and maintain the hosting that our clients need.

Furthermore, it enables us to ensure that the code we produce is optimised to obtain the best possible performance from our server and that our server is configured to obtain the best possible performance from our code.

The advantages of using our hosting service is that your hosting account will be tailored to your exact needs, so you don't have to pay for services you don't want or don't need, and as your site grows and develops, your hosting service can be reconfigured as necessary. By using us to design and host your site, you have only one company to deal with.

Our server is a state-of-the-art Linux/Apache web server running at 2.33GHz, with the latest versions of PHP and mySQL. It is housed in a secure datacentre in the UK and is supported by a team of dedicated engineers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
