located in the UK within a world class, state-of-the-art,
data centre - London Hosting Centre -, to ensure high speed UK access. This data centre feature first class security, connectivity,
redundancy and top
of the line equipment. We carefully monitor our
servers for uptime and are immediately notified in the event of
any outage on the server so that should a problem arise, server

We feel it is important that UK websites be hosted
on servers in a UK data centre rather than foreign/overseas data centres.

website access for UK visitors, allows inclusion in "Google UK" search results and lets you be
