Web hosting services

Reliable and scalable hosting solutions to suit a broad range of organisational needs.

Your choice of web hosting provider can have important implications for your website’s reliability and future scalability. Making the right decision can save you a world of pain later.

When it comes to hosting a website, there are four main options: shared, Virtual Private Servers (VPS), Dedicated, and Cloud hosting. Each option has its own pros and cons. However, if you are looking to host an enterprise-level website where you need a high level of uptime and performance, your best option is most likely Cloud hosting.

The key benefits of Cloud hosting are:

  • Control – high level of control over the hosting environment
  • Flexibility – high degree of flexibility in terms of changing the memory, RAM, and compute power
  • Security – provides a high degree of security
  • Scalability – can be easily scaled up – or down – to deal with traffic spikes
  • Redundancy – a high degree of redundancy to cope with hardware failure.

The only potential drawbacks of Cloud hosting are that it can be expensive to set up, especially with Shared hosting, and requires significant technical expertise. However, for most medium-to-large enterprises, these trade-offs are worth the benefits Cloud hosting offers.
