The Platforms
Windows Hosting
Why Windows? You’re a specialist, looking to code in ASP.
When you’re building websites using Windows languages, technologies, and software, you need a platform that can handle the workload. We don’t design and develop websites for Windows, but if you’re simply hosting with us, we’ve designed a solid Windows platform to meet all your web hosting needs.
Our Windows Hosting Features
Always up to date
We use only the latest Windows hosting technology for our platform to ensure you’re always benefiting from the latest features and improvements. Many hosts avoid this because of the resources and costs involved, but we believe in giving you the best for your website.
Optimised IIS performance
Rather than using Windows as-is, we’ve tweaked IIS to give you enhanced website performance, ensuring better page speeds, happier visitors, and support for all ASP and ASP.NET languages from 2.0 onwards.
Unlimited My-SQL databases or upgrade to MS-SQL for £18 a month
We include as many MySQL databases as you need free of charge. If you would prefer to use an MS-SQL database, then we charge £18 per month to cover the license fee. (Yup, its expensive!)

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take to set up my hosting package?
Your hosting package is automatically set up for you straight after purchase so you can get started right away.
What are your data centres like, and where are they located?
Our state-of-the-art data centres offer the latest in security technologies and are manned 24/7, ensuring your data and websites are secure and monitored at all times. We have a resilient national network and enterprise level cloud platform so you get the best possible hosting experience. They are based in Reading, UK.
Is your hosting green?
Yes: all our servers run on 100% renewable energy, and we can boast a PUE of 1.12. PUE stands for power usage efficiency, and lower is better.
What kind of support do you offer?
We have a range of guides and tutorials available for you via our support database. We also provide personal support just for you via your control panel. All our support is UK based and we never outsource it, meaning you’re always speaking to someone who understands our services and platforms inside out.
What programming languages and frameworks can I use?
You can use whichever programming languages and frameworks you like. Please get in touch if you want to double check if specific legacy versions are supported.
If you would like to use ASP, then please choose our Windows platform.
Should I pick Linux or Windows?
You can choose to host your website on either our Windows or Linux platform. If you’re not sure which to pick, go for Linux as it’s industry standard and supports a wider range of languages and software. If you need help deciding which package to go for or more details, please get in touch with our friendly team.
How many databases do I get?
You can use as many MySQL databases as you need (up to 1GB in size each).
If you choose the Windows platform you can opt to purchase an MS-SQL database, or use MySQL. MS-SQL databases are chargeable as extras to cover the Microsoft license fee.
