Hosting
Look after your site and your site will look after you
Web sites have to live somewhere and that somewhere is called a server. Then good news is that with today’s state of the art technology, servers seem to be getting ever more powerful in inverse proportion to their physical size. That means hosting remains very cost effective even as web sites are getting bigger.
We naturally prefer to host all the sites we build at Flipside Digital – it gives us instant access for site maintenance and support or in the unlikely occurrence of an ‘outage’. We own servers at two 24/7 independent secure hosting locations in the UK. We currently work for the NHS and both these sites have passed the rigorous Government standard requirements with flying colours.
There is nothing worse than to discover your site is down and that it’s being hosted half-way around the world where it’s half-past going home time and that even if the lights are on there nobody down on the farm.
Let Flipside Digital look after your site
We don’t only host sites we build ourselves at Flipside Digital. We are happy to offer spare server capacity to third party customers who are looking for a robust and secure web hosting provision.
Our own web hosting strategy has been developed to cater for a range of different requirements. If you’re interested in the detail here’s the ‘techy stuff’ about what we offer:
- ASP.NET – a unified development platform for enterprise class applications
- ASP – Active Server Pages is a powerful scripting language used in dynamic data driven sites. Our servers run the latest version off IIS offering full support for ASP scripts
- MSXML Scripting – XML delivers rich structured data in a consistent way. Our servers are installed with Version 4 of Microsoft XML Parser
- Graphical Web Site Stats – to provide real-time usage metrics about numbers of visitors, how they found your site and how they used it
- Daily Data Backup – each of our servers runs a RAID disk failure protection system. In addition all data is backed-up onto tape each night
- Microsoft SQL Server 2000 & 2005 databases – fast and powerful access to stored data
- Microsoft Access Databases – can be uploaded to your web space for use with ASP applications
As ever at Flipside Digital we have the capacity to be extremely flexible with all of our services – if you have any other web hosting requirement, or simply want to find out more about web hosting, please do not hesitate to call.
