Hosting

Data Center Specifications

Our hosting provider’s servers are located in a Maidenhead data centre and is situated on a purpose-built site near the centre of the town. It offers 2,800m² (30,140ft²) of high quality, resilient and secure space across nine data halls.

Located outside the M25 the facility offers high speed secure connections to a wide range of Tier 1 national and international carriers.

With data integrity and security key for every organisation all our UK data centres are ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 22301 and PCI DSS compliant. In fact, with an impressive number of global certifications they’re one of the UK’s most accredited cloud companies. Let’s reiterate slightly. They ARE the MOST accredited cloud company – period.

We also have our own in house server expert who is the first line of defense should anything go wrong – your website is your livelihood and that’s why we make no compromise to the service levels that we provide and the service levels we expect from our providers. In the rare cases that our in house expert cannot resolve the issue quickly, we have a service contract directly with our supplier who can resolve any issues that may arise. 

If that doesn’t convince you – we don’t know what will.
