Get Ahead Of The Competition With A New Managed Cloud Server

Cloud is still the buzz word throughout the IT world but very few businesses are taking full advantage of everything the Cloud can offer. Thousands of businesses across the globe are leveraging the cloud to become agile, digital businesses, the downside is only a small number get everything they need, or in other words, are maximising the true potential of their cloud solution.

We’re about to change all that with two amazing managed Cloud solutions.

One of the biggest drawbacks with Cloud is the management of the service. Many businesses just don’t have the time or the resources to provide their own management. With some businesses having to outsource their Cloud management at great expense and quite often without the level of service guaranteed at the time.

We’re pleased to say that we’re now in a position to offer the first truly cost effective managed cloud service for both Linux and Windows Cloud servers hosted by Netcetera.

Each package comes loaded with great features.

  • Plesk 12.5 Included
  • SSL Included
  • Lightning Fast Page Load Speed
  • 24/7/365 Award Winning Support
  • DDoS protected
  • 99.9% Network Guarantee
  • Website Monitoring
  • Server Anti-Virus Software
  • Optional offsite backup

Reliable servers matched with awesome support, guaranteed uptime, server monitoring as standard and all backed up by Netcetera’s 20 years commitment to provide the best customer support available.

Value for money server management without compromise on support and service is now available at a price that all businesses, big and small can afford. With prices starting from only £60.00 p/m there’s no reason why you should put up with downtime and slow websites anymore.

It’s easy to switch to a managed Cloud Solution from Netcetera, not only can we help with site migration through our new Concierge Service but we could also save you a considerable amount of money on your current cloud hosting. For a limited period we are even offering FREE migration to make the switch so much easier.

Netcetera Ranked The Number One Hosting Provider In The World

Netcetera is proud to announce that we are ranked Number One in Netcraft’s global list for the most reliable web hosting companies for the month of December 2016.

This is what Netcraft’s independent monitors had to say:

“Netcetera rounded off the year by having the most reliable hosting company site in December 2016, successfully responding to all but one of Netcraft’s requests. In 2016, Netcetera made eight appearances in the top ten, reaching second place in February, March and June. Earlier in 2016, Netcetera celebrated 20 years of successful business, thanking its clients, including some that have been with the company since the day it opened.”

“Netcetera is based on the Isle of Man, a self-governing territory of the United Kingdom known for its low-tax economy. Netcetera’s data centre, The Dataport, uses several energy-saving technologies including Free Air Cooling and virtualisation, which when coupled with carbon offsetting, make it a zero carbon data centre. This carbon-neutral approach is estimated to have saved more than two million kilograms of CO2 to date.”

We have been very proactive right throughout 2016, starting with the launch of our new state of the art Business Recovery Centre and we have continued to innovate with the introduction of several new products and huge price reductions across many of our hosting solutions.

Despite 2016 being an extremely busy year for all our team, we still haven’t lost focus on providing some of the fastest most reliable secure hosting available anywhere on the planet.

Netcraft’s endorsement also goes to show that our commitment to the environment and our use of green energy does not adversely effect the excellent performance and reliability of the hosting we provide. For many businesses looking to negate their carbon emmissions and play their part in reducing global warming, hosting with Netcetera is an excellent way to achieve some of these goals.

Netcraft independently monitors and measures the response times of fifty leading hosting providers’ sites. These performance measurements are made at fifteen minute intervals from separate points around the Internet, and averages are calculated over the immediately preceding month.

Switching to better hosting has never been easier with our awesome 24/7 technical support and our new concierge service there’s never been a better time to find out what better hosting can do for your business.

Isn’t it time you switched to a more reliable web hosting company?

Make Your Business Secure With Cyber Essentials

What is the Cyber Essentials scheme?

Cyber Essentials is a government-backed cyber security certification scheme that sets out a good baseline of cyber security suitable for all organisations in all sectors. The scheme addresses five key controls that, when implemented correctly, can prevent around 80% of cyber attacks.

Download Your FREE Security Guide

With Cyber Essentials you can focus on your core business objectives, knowing that you’re protected from the vast majority of common cyber attacks. You will also be able to drive business efficiency, save money and improve productivity by streamlining processes. Achieving certification will also help you to address other compliance requirements such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation.

Demonstrate Security

Demonstrate to clients, insurers, investors and other interested parties that you have taken the precautions necessary to reduce cyber risks.

 

Increase Opportunities

Be able to bid for UK Government contracts that involve the handling of personal and sensitive information, and increase your chances of securing business within the private sector.

Save Money 

Insurance agencies look favourably on organisations with Cyber Essentials, resulting in lower insurance premiums.

 

Why choose IT Governance for Cyber Essentials certification?

IT Governance is the leading CREST-accredited certification body, and has awarded hundreds of certifications, with many more companies achieving certification every day. Cyber Essentials clients include companies such as Vodafone, Airbus Defence and Space Ltd, Action for Children, and ELEXON.

To support our clients, IT Governance, the CREST-accredited and leading provider of cyber security expertise, has entered into a formal partnership with Netcetera to aid the process of certification.

IT Governance has developed three fixed-price packaged solutions, Do It Yourself, Get A Little Help, and Get A Lot Of Help to support certification to either Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus at a pace and budget that suits you.

With this option, you can submit the self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ) and undertake the assessments once you are ready for certification. Undertake a full review of your security in the knowledge that it will protect your business, identify any risks and save you money at the same time. From only £300.00 plus VAT

Get A Little Help

We recommend this option for organisations that are confident they have the skills to reach Cyber Essentials certification, but need a little guidance to point them in the right direction. This package includes a Cyber Essentials documentation toolkit and two hours of Live Online consultancy with an experienced technical expert.  Achieve a globally recognised security accreditation without the need to spend vast sums of money on so-called external experts. From only £550.00 plus VAT

Get A Lot Of Help

This option is an all-inclusive package for large organisations with complex organisational structures, or organisations that have no prior experience implementing an information security management system. This package includes a Cyber Essentials documentation toolkit and one day of on-site consultancy conducted at your offices with an experienced technical expert. If you take your business security seriously but need a bit more help to achieve your goals, this is the package for you. From only £1445.00 plus VAT

Cyber Essentials

The Cyber Essentials scheme is a key deliverable of the UK’s National Cyber Security. Cyber Essentials specifies the basic controls that all organisations should implement to mitigate the risk from common Internet-based threats. The scheme provides a mechanism for organisations to demonstrate to customers, investors, insurers and others that they have taken essential precautions to secure themselves against the majority of cyber risks.

With IT Governance becoming so critical in being able to attract and demonstrate that your business is prepared for the worst case scenario. There is no better way to show your clients that you have taken all the necessary steps to protect them and your own business from cyber threats.

Get Total Data Protection with Netcetera360

Does your business have all the protection it needs?

If the power in your office fails tonight, and all of your computers crash, how quickly can you recover? And more importantly, at what cost? According to the London Chamber of Commerce, 80% of businesses without a well structured recovery plan are forced to shut within 12 months of a flood or fire.

We’re here to ensure your business doesn’t become another statistic. Our business continuity solution is about more than just backup – it’s designed to quickly revive your network following any unplanned downtime, and ensure your employees are operating productively in almost no time at all. 

Unparalleled Peace of Mind

In today’s always-on business landscape, maintaining an effective backup and disaster recovery (BDR) strategy is becoming more important than ever before. Data is playing an increasingly critical role in decision-making processes, and the costs and risks associated with downtime are skyrocketing – not to mention the damage your brand and reputation can suffer in the event of a disaster.  

Netcetera’s business continuity solution includes features like continuous data protection, cloud-based replication and recovery, and more – all for one low fixed monthly price per protected server.

What does that mean? It means you can rest easy knowing that your critical data, emails, reports, and other information are all protected, backed up and securely tucked away until you need them.  

Direct Support

Having a backup appliance in place is only the first step in a successful business continuity strategy. To minimise the risk of data loss as much as possible, you’ll want to have technicians proactively monitoring the entire backup process to ensure things are working as expected.

That’s why we’ve got a dedicated team keeping a watchful eye over your protected servers, ready to jump into action should any problems arise. And if the worst should happen, don’t worry – we’ll have you back up and running quickly.

Netcetera360 Essential

This package, priced based on the live data on each protected machine, includes 1 daily cloud recovery point (an image containing yesterday’s data) for each protected machine on the appliance.

Netcetera360 Complete

This package, priced based on the live data on each protected machine, includes 15 fixed cloud recovery points in a 12-month period (five daily, three weekly, six monthly, and one yearly) for each protected machine on the appliance.
