Just like when your teenage son says he needs more room and it’s time to fly the nest, so your website grows until it can no longer run quickly on your shared web hosting server. Sometimes you just have to accept that it’s time to let it spread its wings.
Obviously having children and running a competitive professional e-business is not the same thing, even if they are occasionally both petulant and demanding. The premise is the same however; with your website growing and your desire to put more and more information on the web hosting server.
Giving your website its own dedicated server means allowing it to grow, giving you more opportunities to write blogs, add more features, answer customer queries quickly and efficiently, and conduct customer feedback surveys so that you can identify what you are doing right, or wrong.
All of these things will make browsing your site a more immersing experience, which will mean you get more clients learning more about your goods and services, and hopefully buying more of your products.
At CWCS we answer questions every day on the different benefits of having your own dedicated server. We understand how important a good site is to a business, and can help you with ideas to make your customers’ browsing experience more fulfilling. We appreciate the problems all internet businesses have with budgeting, and can offer very reasonable, cheap web hosting services appropriate to your company’s needs.
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 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.

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.
You may have heard the phrase “Open-Source” used in computing terms. It’s thrown about by programmers who really know what they’re talking about. Wikipedia says “open-source” describes practices that promote access to the end product’s source materials. The truth is that, for the programmers that work with this software in web hosting, it is much more than that.
Designed in the sixties as a method of securing a network of computers from attack by connecting each computer without a central hub, the Internet has effortlessly broken free from the many shackles big business and government has tried to laden it with. Whilst the internet may be society’s double edged sword in one respect, in another it is as close to the free market economics Milton Friedman promoted in the post war economic revolutions.
To most of us, the internet is a window on the rest of the world, but to programmers it is a haven of freedom and creativity. Open-source material, such as the Linux server operating system, means that all of the programming code is available for anyone to use and play with. It means that if someone writes a virus, any keen programmer can look through the code and find a solution. This openness is so successful that systems such as Linux have only a fraction of the viruses expected in a windows system.
At CWCS we have all the information you need about Linux servers and Linux managed hosting systems, to make sure you are using the safest and most up to date technology available.
When choosing the right Linux or Windows server for your system, there is much to consider. How much down-time is there? What kind of bandwidth does it provide? For a start-up or small company, these problems may seem a little over-reaching, but when another firm is using a shared served with you and they have a high amount of traffic, you may find your pride and joy playing second fiddle.
Finding a shared Windows or Linux server that works for you and your customers is vital. For a start, if the server has similar sized websites hosted on it then you would imagine that no one site has priority over the others. Also, knowing that some high security sites may get hit by hackers and virus could cause you a little concern.
This is not the kind of information the web hosting service will tell you about, however. Instead, these are things that you may find out and become increasingly disappointed with over the course of time. Your trust in a good web hosting provider is essential to ensure you have a good working relationship and a sound and stable environment for your site.
At CWCS we run our own web hosting facilities, which means we aren’t just a broker. If you want the server with us, it stays with us, and that is why we have been voted number one. We are your personal host, here to provide you with the personal service you need and your customers demand. Check out our offers and see what we can do for you.
Size matters. As business people you already know that a prospective client’s first impression of you is the most important. Knowing you have a good image and a great website is only part of the issue. It is vital that your new exciting site can handle the traffic it will undoubtedly attract. You don’t want your investment to be wasted, and all too often companies make the mistake of not crossing the t’s by emloying a reliable web site hosting package.
One example of a mistake often made by new companies is to spend all their money on the site and no time or money on a dedicated server. This means that whilst customers were impressed by what they saw, when they actually requested information or placed orders, they found reaction times slow and cumbersome. This is easily resolved with just a few reasonable steps and a healthy bit of sound advice.
A dedicated server for your business means your future clients are well looked after. They shouldn’t suffer delays at the point of transaction, nor should they have to suffer through time outs or system down. Instead, they should receive a good quick efficient service, just as you provide a good quick and efficient service yourself.
Ask our team at CWCS for more information as to the benefits of a dedicated server, as well as finding the right deal for you. There are many opportunities out there for the smart e-business. Maximising yours opportunities is the key to internet success and profit.
