powerful and reliable hardware
All our school websites are hosted on powerful Dell servers utilising state-of-the-art technology. Our server network operates on industry-leading Cisco Systems network equipment.
Huge web space
We provide you with 1GB (primary schools) or 2GB (secondary schools) hard disk space for your website an all your files. That is more than enough for 1000's of photographs and documents.
Unlimited traffic
Some web hosting companies charge for the amount of traffic a website receives. This is called 'bandwidth usage'. We don't charge for bandwidth usage and no matter how busy your website gets you will never pay more.
Secure backups
Our data centre in the UK makes automatic nightly secure backups of your website and all the images and files stored on the server. For extra security, we also produce backups at least once a month on our local servers.
Status reporting
We use only state-of-the-art technology to host your school website. However very occasionally we may need to perform maintenance or upgrade work on our systems. If you website is ever effected by this work or third-party issue, you have 24/7 access to our online system status reporting service that will explain any problems or issues.
Visitor statistics
It is often useful to know how many visitors your website receives and which part of your website received the most attention. As part of our website maintenance package you have 24/7 access to detailed visitor reports.
