A web server is a computer that is always turned on that has a high bandwidth connection to the internet. This is where all the digital data for your website is contained so that it can be accessed by anybody online.

From the most conservative website to the most complex we deal with all the issues surrounding keeping it online, removing all the complexities and risks involved in hosting a website.

Safeguarding Against Problems

With anything as complex as a computer something will always go wrong eventually, we ensure that the impact it has on you is minimal and hopefully not even noticeable. Our servers are housed in secure buildings designed to withstand floods, fires and power cuts ensuring that the server running your web system is protected. 

Backing up your data is critical, how often the data needs to be backed up depends on the how often the data changes and the volume  as well as how critical it is to your business.

In the event of a failure on the primary server then traffic can be automatically re-routed to a secondary fail over server located in a different place entirely that has a replica of your web system, ensuring that your system is always live.

Secure Hosting

If you require payment facilities on your web site then you need to have the data encrypted using secure hosting.

Secure hosting involves encrypting the data sent between the client (user) and the server (your website). This is know as a Secure Socket Layer (SSL), ensures that data transmitted cannot be read or tampered. It is a requirement if you intend to take payment directly through your website.

A SSL certificate is also required. These are issued by a trustworthy source on the internet that confirm your identity that the server is verified as being secure.

If you wish to hold secure data on your website such as credit card details or information subject to the data protection act then security is fundamentally important, we have the experience and expertise to ensure your customers data is protected to the highest level.
