Overview

Our Windows 2008 hosting uses clusters of servers to deliver a stable, reliable and easily scaled platform capable of handling sudden visitor and increases in demand, ideal for growing and popular sites.
Because we know flexibility and affordability are vital for your business, our packages don't rely on inflexible capped space and bandwidth limits. Instead, clients purchase a monthly allowance on a cluster of servers at a fixed price with any overage charged at the end of their current billing period.

If you're thinking this sounds like the model used by your mobile phone company, you'd be spot on.

Latest Windows technologies

Our packages are powered by Microsoft Windows 2008 Server and support popular components including AspUpload, ASPJpeg and Microsoft URL Rewrite.

Plus, because they're based on our dual technology Cloud service, all packages include support for Linux technologies such as PHP5 (See our Cloud Hosting page for more details of support Linux technologies)

A viable alternative to a dedicated server

With ultra-low charges for additional bandwidth and disk space and a robust network infrastructure, our cloud-based Windows Hosting is ideal for sites which are outgrowing shared hosting but do not need, or maybe do not generate the revenue to support, a fully dedicated server.

No minimum terms

There are no minimum term contracts for our monthly packages, if you no longer need the service all we ask is that you give us thirty days notice to cancel your account.

Extra resource charges

Because it's designed to scale with your site's use, our cloud hosting service won't suspend your site if it exceeds the resouce quotas in your monthly plan. Any additional usage will be charged at the following rates:
  • Bandwidth 1GB £0.50
  • Disk space 1GB £1.00
  • Computing cycles Each £0.05
  • MS SQL Databases 50MB £5.00
Quoted prices are monthly and will be applied to your next month's invoice. MS SQL Databases are an optional extra and are not included in plans as standard.

What are Computing Cycles?

A traditional physical server contains a number of processors, just like your desktop or laptop computer. Traditionally a shared hosting provider host limits the amount of processing resources your site can use. Because it's designed to 'scale up' with your site's popularity cloud hosting imposes no such limits, so users are charged for processing resources - known as 'Computing Cycles' - in the same way as disk space and bandwidth.

Security Levels

All Windows services operate under Medium Trust, the preferred security level recommended by Microsoft for cloud environments
