Netcetera Takes 2nd Spot For Most Reliable Hosting Companies On The Planet

In a very close second place, Netcetera also responded to every Netcraft request, but with a slightly longer average connection time. Netcetera owns and operates a carbon neutral data centre on the Isle of Man, and recently celebrated its 20th birthday, having been in the hosting business since 1996.

Netcetera has done it again in March.  We are still right up at the top of the list, a remarkable achievement for a business that has been operating for over 20 years. The results over the last few months clearly show that Netcetera is a company that still continues to provide some of the most reliable hosting on the planet.  Not just fast reliable hosting but hosting that doesn’t destroy the environment.

The Businesses Behind Our Business

As Netcetera celebrates 20 years of successful business we thought we would share some of the great success stories behind some of the clients we have helped over the years.

We gave Lawrence from the team at Futurestore the 60 second interview. To get his thoughts on being a Netcetera client and setting out in business.

Futurestore

Steve: How long have you been in business for?

Lawrence: We have been designing and building websites for 18 years

Steve: What is your main business, what do you do, who are your customers?

Lawrence: We spend our time almost entirely devoted to building ecommerce websites. All the sites we build are based on our own software and this makes it quick and easy to respond to customers’ needs for flexibility in website functionality. Our customers are typically SME’s – from businesses of one owner/manager to larger enterprises with hundreds of staff.

Steve: Why choose Netcetera?

Lawrence: We stay with Netcetera as they are able to still offer an excellent personal service to businesses like ourselves.

Steve: Any funny stories or challenging situations from your business?

Lawrence: We once had a call on a Monday from a person who had just been let down by their website designers and who, because of advertising that was due to hit the streets, needed a fully working ecommerce website designed and built by the following Monday. We did it….just!

Steve: What would you say to someone about to set up their own business, words of wisdom ?

Lawrence: If you can genuinely leave your client happy at the end of a job (and get paid!), then there’s little else you need to worry about.

Steve: How important is having reliable hosting for your business?

Lawrence:  This is paramount, especially so with ecommerce websites.

About Futurestore; Started in 1998 we have designed and built over 700 websites. In 2000 we developed our own content managed ecommerce software which is now the core of all the online stores that we develop.

Netcetera Celebrates 20 Years Of Success

Over the last 20 years Netcetera has grown to become one of Europe’s leading Datacentre  services provider and 2016 will see the company celebrate 20 years of successful business, built on customer service, unrivalled technical support and competitive pricing.

Investment in new technology has enabled the business to remain at the forefront of a competitive market, and consistently maintain growth. Foundations based upon its use of technology, customer support and environmental commitment has made the company one of the most trusted and reliable Cloud providers in Europe.

With technology changing all the time, the business understands how important it is to be able to offer the best solutions on the best technology – and this is only possible through having a well trained up to date team and the ability to meet the exacting requirements of a diverse group of global clients.

After a £10 million investment the first hosting hall at The Dataport was opened in 2007, and it didn’t take long for Netcetera to attract global clients to the new facility.

Zero Carbon Hosting – Clean and Green!

Fast forward to 2013 and Netcetera signed an agreement to move onto a Green Energy Tariff. This made Netcetera one of only a few 100% green powered datacentres in  the UK.  

2015 – a year of expansion

The year began with the opening of a second hosting hall, Zone2, and later in the year the opening of a new Business Recovery Centre.  The new hosting hall has also been designed in such a way that enables the cool air to be directed exactly where it is needed meaning energy consumption is very efficient. This is another plus for businesses who consider energy usage as an important factor when choosing a hosting partner.

2016 – and the future

Looking ahead, 2016 will see Netcetera host a social media training day with Keren Lerner from Top Left Design, and host a business startup event including a Dragons Den style chance to get investment and help from Netcetera and some of the Islands best know business faces.

THANK YOU

Netcetera would like to say a big thank you to all of our clients, some of whom have been with the company since the day we opened. Without this continued support and trust the company wouldn’t be in the strong position it finds itself in today.

Come Celebrate with us!

We have put together some great offers to celebrate our 20th birthday, all of which are aimed at helping you to grow your own successful business over the coming months. Join us as we celebrate 2016 with some great deals and special offers. Grab yourself the chance to get some great deals before anyone else hears about them, all courtesy of Netcetera.

One of the highlights of our year was when the business was shortlisted as a finalist for the Isle of Man  Newspapers Awards for Excellence, within the category for Corporate Social Responsibility. Being shortlisted for such a prestigious award was an excellent achievement considering this was the first time that the company had entered.

The company’s environmental ethos is at the heart of everything that the business does which includes the use of the latest energy efficient technology, using green sustainable energy, recycling packaging and pallets and operating a paperless office environment.

The company has more plans for 2016 that will further demonstrate its commitment to environmental causes. Netcetera will be supporting local charity Ecovannin by providing them with Green Hosting for their website and helping them with the launch of a new green business directory.
