New Fast Dedicated UK Web Server Hosting
Hogtronix have taken the plunge after nearly 8 years trading and have invested in a state of the art ‘local’ high powered dedicated, firewalled server.
To the majority of people reading this it’ll probably beg the question ‘so what?’. The importance of local UK hosting (this server is hosted just off the M3 in Hampshire) is that it results in faster load times for...
Heart Internet Support? What support!
This is our support ticket to Heart Internet after having our industry grade reseller email server down all day. Previously our support ticket had been answered to suggest we were being impatient to ask, after 3 hours of downtime, where our email server had gone!:

No wonder clients come to us totally confused with...
Just back from a tradeshow at London Earls Court and have to say, what a load of old tosh some SEO ‘agencies’ talk. No wonder there is so much confusion over the technology.

Don't just stop at a website!
This will sound a bit odd coming from a Web Design and Marketing company but we are firm believers in not just stopping at a slick website (designed by us of course!) but to go one step further and ensure all mediums are exploited (i.e. Business Card Printing, Leaflets, Envelopes, Brochure wear, Sign written cars etc etc…)

'Our customers won't understand'
When I worked in the City for Barclays, we occasionally played a game called buzzword bingo’. A group of us (who were all junior in terms of seniority) would agree a set of our own ‘buzz words’ prior to a major departmental meeting (which tended to be long and rather boring).
