With the latest election, all we hear about in the news is the state of the economy. With the UK slowly coming out of recession, a lot of entrepreneurs have found it a hard slog to keep their businesses afloat. Potential customers don’t have much in the way of disposable income, and are being very choosy as to what and where they buy. It is therefore essential that businesses with a website are using a reliable web site hosting company to ensure that the site is constantly live.
The internet however, continues to flourish. The frugal customer is not averse to searching out some bargains from the comfort of their own homes. They often have a much better idea of their specific requirements when they enter your online shop. The educated customer is also more aware of your competitors and so service becomes more and more important to distinguish you from the rest of the marketplace.
The last thing you need right now is for your customers to have trouble with your website. Web-surfing customers don’t hang around for long, and all it takes is a little too much down time and you have lost a potential sale. So, if your dedicated server isn’t proving to be all that dedicated, it may be time for a change.
The right web hosting service is more important than ever, because despite the fact that disposable income will increase, your customers have learnt to use the net more efficiently and demand more from you.
At CWCS, we have been supplying companies with a professionally run, award winning UK web hosting service for over ten years. Our team of experts are always available to help you find the right solutions to your business needs.
Spring is here and all around the country people are having clean outs. The idea of spring cleaning goes back to the second century when, in preparation of the Persian New Year, which started for them in the middle of March, the whole house gets cleaned, furniture removed and carpets washed, curtains taken down and guttering cleared, ready for the year ahead.
Spring cleaning has more recently been associated in business with the heavy duty cleaning out and changing of old techniques and taking a fresh new look and approach to their organisation.
In an internet business that can mean looking hard at your web hosting provider and deciding if they are giving you the value for money you and your business requires.
There is a lot to consider, such as: is your business getting the proper level of support from the web host, does the end user and potential customer have easy access to your site, or are there excessive down-times, where they cannot get hold of your services?
Has your business grown over the year, and now you feel it may be time to move to a dedicated server? Can your web hosting service provide you with the suitable upgrade at a reasonable price?
At CWCS we pride ourselves on offering the right service to all our potential and current customers alike. We have an excellent team of skilled technicians who understand the needs of businesses like yours. Why don’t you give us a call and see how we can help you get the best web site hosting service this spring?
Web hosting services don’t always go as planned, or as advertised. For example, this genuine complaint about web hosting shows what happens if you opt for the wrong service provider:
“The original registrar of the site didn’t want to deal with it and attempted to transfer the domain name to my account. This took about a week of me screaming at them on the phone (back when you could call them), and eventually I was able to access my own domain name. Then, at the end of the year they cut off my site! I still can’t access it or transfer it! I have 20,000 readers that think I’m dead now.”
The client had suffered from downtime problems and became unhappy with the service. In this case the client had no idea his web hosting service could close down his domain name and therefore his site. The hosting service in question had not mentioned that concurrent payment was obliged to maintain the site, and that should he wish to change to another service, he would suffer these penalties.
This is a situation happening to many companies that have bought a cheap web hosting service from an unscrupulous hosting service across the net. Recovering from it and building up your reputation can cost a lot more than the savings you thought you were making.
At CWCS we have over 10 years experience in dealing with clients and their customers, and have become one of the best web hosting firms in the UK. We have built our reputation on your satisfaction of service, and we can provide you with a range of options for your e-business.
Web hosting disasters can happen at any time, costing you and your business thousands in lost revenue. The following are genuine complaints about web hosting services:
“Just about the worst you can imagine. Server down, up, down – support tickets just go into a black hole. Did not automatic renew my domain though there was over $150.00 in my account with them.”
As well as:
“I have experienced about 20% downtime. They promise 99.9% and do not deliver. They also state you get daily backup. They had a server crash and all of my files were gone. I have lost a huge amount of money with their reseller hosting as many of my design clients have left my company due to so many web hosting problems. “
It’s so easy to be persuaded into buying a cheap service that appears to offer the earth, but when you actually deal with them, you find their 24/7 service is more ad hoc, their cheap rates are due to high downtime and their repeat contracts and billing services can leave you with big problems.
At CWCS we have plenty of experience in web site hosting and an excellent list of testimonials for you to look through. We have been reviewed very highly in many periodicals, as well as being voted number one by Topshots.com.

We have grown by listening to you and your customers needs. If you are still unsure as to who can help, call us and see how professional we can be.
In this year’s meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Craig Mundie, Microsoft’s Chief Research Officer, called for more authentication to combat the increase in cyber attacks.
Recent problems with assaults on organisations around the world, such as Facebook and America’s CIA, have highlighted a need for better security on the net. The freedom and anonymity that the internet proudly spouted in its first heady days have been compromised by a succession of infiltrators, viruses and computer hackers from across the world.
Mr Mundie went on to say that if you went to buy a car, you would need a licence and documentation, you would receive a receipt too, all information that will identify you and the purchase. The internet needs to have its own form of protection so as to better identify which computers are trying to access and infiltrate a site.
One of the great benefits of having your own Linux dedicated server is that hackers often want to maximise the damage they do, and since the majority of Linux users are businesses, the infamy of the virus creator is limited. Viruses, therefore, are far more prevalent on Windows servers. Also, with the open source nature of Linux, there are many more technical programmers ready to probe the code and fight any viruses that do break through.
At CWCS, we have plenty of information on the latest developments in both Linux and Windows servers, and can help you make the right choice for your business and your site. Having a dedicated server is key for improving your internet security.
The right web hosting can offer a reliable and secure home for your businesses website, various web hosting packages are available across the internet and prices are competitive. Although choosing the right web hosting solution is sometimes overlooked and website owners often get drawn to the cheapest solution available.
CWCS Managed Hosting promises to for-fill every web hosting requirement and bring a wealth of features and ensure the highest possible speed is maintained. Our Linux clustered hosting solution is an example of how web hosting can be cost effective but still provide a reliable and performance driven hosting platform.
The Linux clustered solution is not simple single dedicated server managing services such as mail, FTP, databases etc… instead it provides multiple dedicated servers managing separate web services. The benefits of this solution boast massive advantages over a single web hosting server solution.
The LAMP setup is implemented in many well known websites running E-commerce, CMS systems, blog software or any form of dynamic professional website. In fact, most of the top well known websites today take advantage of LAMP and the security/performance this has to offer. The CWCS Linux clustered dedicated servers are based on a LAMP setup, the solution provides no boundaries on how creative and productive your website is.

The launch of Windows Server 2008 R2 stirred up the whole Windows server vs Linux server debate once again, causing many people to reconsider their choices.
For a start, Windows Server 2008 R2 is the first Windows server to use only 64-bit architecture. It also manages memory better by supporting Second Level Translation and Nested Page Tables. Windows Server 2008 R2 has the latest version of IIS, with better security features and a much improved Best Practices Analyzer.
It handles power better with the help of the recently launched Windows 7 by managing consumption better. PowerShell 2.0 is also contained in the package, which allows easier interaction with the base code and also a variety of testing tools for debugging.
Windows Server 2008 R2 works better for the end user too, with better desktop functions such as access to some graphics functions. Microsoft has also considered remote users trying to use computers from afar, by treating remote users the same way that local connections are dealt with. This dedicated server makes it easier to resolve problems from a distance. This means less waiting for the engineer to arrive when something goes wrong.
All in all there is a great deal to be considered with Windows Server 2008 R2, none more so than the fact that it was launched to go along with the successful Windows 7.
At CWCS we have all the information you will need about this, or any of the many servers on offer, and can help you find the right dedicated server for your company.
Every good businessman knows that the most important part of a business is the customer. They control the demand, the style of service, the preferences and they drive the business cash flow. That is why when any business has a website, their managed hosting needs to be up to scratch.
Donald Porter, Vice president of British Airways said:
“Customers don’t expect you to be perfect. They do expect you to fix things when they go wrong.”
We all know that things go wrong from time to time, but there are ways to keep your business safe. Colocation is a way to ensure that your server is safely protected and free from damage. There is no reason to have your dedicated server on site with you. If anything, it just adds to the possible dangers of a fire or a flood. Even petty criminality from disgruntled employees can damage your data, your customer base, your orders and your network. Worse still, it can damage your reputation.
At CWCS we can move your dedicated server to another specialist site, with people on hand for emergencies, back-up generators in case of power cuts, excellent air conditioning systems to optimise your server’s speed and full security systems for all visitors. You can also get multiple high speed internet connections, and even a cup of coffee whenever you come to visit.
If you want your business and your system to have the five star protection, colocation to one of our affordable sites may well be the answer to ensure you don’t lose touch with your customers, even when you lose touch with your stock.
Web server technology allows multiple domains hosted sharing a single IP address on both Windows and Linux platforms. CWCS Managed Hosting has specific packages available for customers who intend on reselling web hosting services or hosting a large amount of client accounts.
Why be a reseller?
Reseller accounts not only boast the largest amount of features available with an easy to use control panel. The control panel includes the functionality to offer restricted control panel access to your individual clients. This gives the end user power to manage accounts whilst the reseller still has control over the overall resources allocated to each client and can monitor resource usage.
Reseller accounts boast a cost effective solution towards hosting multiple domains/clients. Each individual account costs you less with the more accounts you decide to host.
Bundled features
Total control over a vast amount of features makes reseller packages an obvious money earning opportunity for start-up web designers and resellers. Features include:
- 2x website statistics packages
- Installable scripts
- One-click installs; WordPress and Joomla
- Firewall
- Backup tools
- Anti-spam/virus options
- Advanced DNS management
- A wealth of modules and add-ons for both Linux and Windows accounts
With instant access to a feature hosting solution, your clients requirements should be fully for-filled making you an ideal web hosting reseller.
Start up opportunities
Reseller accounts with unlimited access may not be ideal for start out customers with very few domains and a tight budget. CWCS Managed Hosting encourages all our clients to grow and will support your hosting requirements as you continue to grow. This is why we include a smaller reseller package with less resources available for customers who are starting out. We are able to upgrade your account with a click of a button.
