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.

Each package comes loaded with great features.

  • 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.

7 Questions to ask yourself before you choose your new Host – Equipment

Part 4: Quality Server Hardware = Uptime

Following on from the introduction, longevity and history  and last weeks thoughts on Support, a good Managed Hosting Provider will be using the latest most efficient equipment available so you can enjoy the best server uptime possible.

The type of servers your web host uses makes a difference!

Many budget hosts use older hardware and technology to keep costs as low as possible. Others lease servers from a datacentre provider, so if something goes wrong they will be the middleman between you and a quick fix. Their relationship and how they are managed is a problem you don’t want to ever have.

Quality hardware matters too. While a web host could be using a desktop that was on sale for £299.99 at a well known out of town superstore and set it up to act as a web server, a true web host buys and uses ONLY enterprise level equipment. This is the expensive stuff that’s built and designed to be running 24/7 with redundancy built in in terms of Power Supply and Hard Disks.

So you should find out what kind of servers they use? Are they offering shared Cloud Hosting or dedicated Cloud Hosting? Do they allow flexible cloud resizing if your business expands.

Here at Netcetera, we only buy and use enterprise rated hardware. We also only use SSD’s, and are one of the leaders in the industry to do so and not charge extra for it. SSD’s are SUPER FAST (about 15X) compared to traditional hard drives that most traditional web hosts use. They are more expensive, but because of the increase in reliability and significant increases in speed, we know it’s worth it. This type of Equipment has the added bonus that it’s kinder to the environment helping to make Netcetera a Greener host too.

PEEK BEHIND THE CLOUD

Hosting Highlight: Cloudlets

Our ‘SSD Cloudlets’ are a natural progression from shared hosting you can choose a server and memory size and pay for what you use.   Prices start from just £5pm  and we have a great range of options, these plans are perfect for the control freak residing in most of us.

Netcraft May 2015

Netcetera offer an SLA-backed 99.9% uptime guarantee on its services, and exceeds this promise on its own site, with an uptime of 99.98% over the previous year and 99.96% over ten years. The company offers dedicated, managed and colocation solutions based from a Datacentre on the Isle of Man. Amongst other features, the Datacentre is carbon neutral, achieved via a combination of  offsetting and energy-saving technologies.

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

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

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 to individuals who need to host a single website, to large companies who require more complicated setups using, for example a Cloud Server or a Dedicated Server. Whatever your Hosting requirements, our range of Managed hosting options will provide you with a solution, and our UK based Hosting packages can help create a professional backbone for your online business.
