Web hosting and cloud hosting chosen for the workload

The right home for each application

Hosting decisions shape how fast, secure and reliable a website or application can be. A small brochure site, a busy online store and an API serving a mobile app have very different needs, and putting them on the wrong platform leads either to poor performance or to paying for capacity that is never used.

Shared hosting places many sites on one server and suits small, low-traffic sites with modest budgets. A virtual private server provides dedicated resources and more control. Dedicated infrastructure suits workloads with heavy or specialized requirements. Managed hosting adds administration such as updates, security and backups. Cloud hosting uses platforms such as AWS or Microsoft Azure to provide flexible capacity that can scale with demand. We recommend an option based on workload requirements, traffic patterns, application architecture, budget, security and the maintenance your team can realistically handle.

Managed properly, end to end

Our hosting service covers the architecture and the operational detail: domain and DNS configuration, SSL/TLS certificates and renewal, web server and database configuration, caching, operating system and software updates, server monitoring, resource planning, backups and documented recovery procedures. Staging environments let changes be tested before they reach your live site, and deployment planning keeps releases predictable.

If you are moving from another provider, we plan the migration of files, databases, email-related DNS records and certificates, and schedule the switch to minimize disruption.

Transparency about who provides what is important. The physical servers, data centres and cloud platforms are operated by third-party infrastructure providers, whose own terms and service levels apply. Our service is the selection, configuration, management and support of your hosting on that infrastructure. Exactly what is included, including support hours and response times, is set out in your agreement.
