Why 24/7 Uptime is vital for your web sites

Aug. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- Today's businesses must be available 24/7 and that includes critical web sites and applications.  Organisations invest a considerable amount of time, effort and cash in ensuring in-house technology is available and kept up and running, no matter what.  But when it comes to their web presence, they compromise.  So why pay for a dedicated server hosting solution that doesn't incorporate the same technology that keeps in-house systems up and running?

24/7 Uptime http://www.247uptime.co.uk are the UK's leading high availability experts.  They have applied high availability technology and their expertise to launch 247host high availability hosting solution. http://www.247uptime.co.uk/solutions/hahosting/

Chris Robinson, Sales & Technical Director at 24/7 Uptime, explains: "247host allows us to provide a unique hosting service for our clients.  Dedicated Windows or Linux virtual machines are hosted on a multi-server platform and kept up and running 24/7, all from within modern UK based data centres.  This technology is usually applied to commercial processing environments that require absolute zero downtime such as secure access systems, online booking systems, military, government and medical applications, etc.  It pools together the resources of multiple physical server hosts, meaning that web/online environments are not affected by any component or full physical host failure.  That's why 247host really is the most reliable and cost effective dedicated hosting package available in the UK."

Tracy Barlow, Marketing Director, continues: "We developed 247host after feedback from web designers and developers in particular told us that they received poor service from their hosting providers.  When system downtime problems occurred, the first they knew of it was when dozens or hundreds of disgruntled customer complaints poured in, saying their web sites were down.  As they pointed out, if clients or prospects can't find your web site these days they start to worry that you've gone out of business.  As a result, no organisation can afford to risk downtime.  That's particularly so for e-commerce or online ticketing sites for example.  247host addresses all these issues.  It's not a "stack 'em high, sell 'em cheap" approach; it's a bespoke hosting service tailored to the client's requirements yet available on a very competitive monthly subscription basis."
