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 sites we host (about 200) and speed of load = higher search engine positions on the likes of Google.
The server we’ve invested in also has a very tough firewall meaning the likelihood of hacks is very much limited, plus the server is monitored 24/7/365 anyway for any suspicious activity.
UK hosted clients will be gradually moved to this server across the course of the next 6 months and we are fortunate that the hosted environment (server room) also runs servers for Tesco and Waitrose…
Our chosen service provider also have their own fibreoptic infrastructure meaning we are also no longer reliant on BT cabling for our websites infrastructure.
