Netcetera ranked as Top 3 Most Reliable Hosting Company Worldwide

We are very proud to announce that Netcetera has been ranked as the third most reliable hosting company for the month of April 2011, as measured by Netcraft.

This is a great achievement for Netcetera as the ranking is measured against the world’s top hosting companies.

From a customer’s perspective, the percentage of failed requests is very important and for this reason the ranking is measured by a table of fewest failed requests, rather than periods of outage.

Netcetera was formed in 1996 and today is one of Europe’s leading Web Hosting service providers, offering a full range of products, from a basic hosting service catering for individuals who need to host a single website, to large companies who require more complicated setups using, for example, our latest Managed Windows Cloud Server.

Netcraft measures and makes available the response times of approximately forty leading hosting providers sites. The performance measurements are calculating at fifteen minute intervals from different points around the internet, and averages are calculated over the immediately preceding 24 hour period.

Netcetera launches new Managed Windows Cloud Server

Are you a web developer, a reseller or do you have the need for a better hosting solution than traditional Shared Hosting?

Netcetera are proud to announce the launch of our new Managed Window Cloud Server to bring you a faster, more reliable, scalable and easy to use hosting solution!

With your Managed Windows Cloud Server, multiple servers are connected together so that there will be no more failures or slow hosting. In the case that a server fails, our Hyper-V Cloud automatically starts another instance for you.
Your Cloud Server will delivers outstanding performance even during peak times.
Your Cloud Server comes with 24/7 support, Server Firewall Protection, Free Migration and much more!
Your Cloud Server will also reduce your costs because you can increase or decrease your resource as and when you need, and therefore only pay for what you use.
Your Cloud Server is very simple to use because it has a pre-installed web-based control panel which allows you to manage all your websites in a simple way, FTP, Emails, Database and other resources.
Why is it called the “Cloud”? In simple words, imagine a cloud with many servers working together to make sure your website will be fast and never fail!

Special Launch Offer

We are offering the server for 1/2 price for the first 3 months, a 7 day risk-free trial and we will even transfer your site for you.

The Technical Stuff

Your Managed Windows Cloud Server solution is built across multiple high performance Dell servers running Windows Server 2008 R2 and managed by Microsoft’s Hyper-V Cloud virtualisation technology and Microsoft System Center. Clients share the hardware resources of the servers but each client has their own operating system – providing the application flexibility of a dedicated solution but with the cost savings of a cloud.

What others say

“We previously used another host that provided very cheap self-hosting for up to 15 websites. However we found that reliability was a continuous problem and despite claims of 99% or better up time we would find sites down for hours and sometimes days. Most of our sites were not business critical so this was not a big issue. However we are now providing cloud based applications and need the flexibility a hosted server provides. We chose Netcetera for this after exploring the market due to previous good experiences of system uptime and support responsiveness. In summary Netcetera provide us with a great product at a very competitive price.”

I want a Website, but I don’t know where to start

You have decided you want a website but now you don’t know where to start. There are three important things to consider.

First step is to secure your domain name. This is how people will find your website on the internet. This is a unique name that will be registered in your personal or business name for a certain period. The minimum period for all domain names is normally one year. An example of this is www.myname.com. Use this handy Domain Name Search Tool to find out if your ideal name is available.
You then need to build the website. An agency could build it for you or you can do it yourself by purchasing an easy-to-use SiteBuilder package on the internet.
Finally you need a Web Hosting Company to host your website online so that people on the internet will be able to find it.

If you enjoy this post, please keep following us because every few days we will be publishing some tips and suggestions about web hosting, domain names, websites and much more.
