web hosting
More information
If your company has a website, you need a server to host it on before it is available to the outside world. This service is known as web hosting.
Web hosting can be as simple as some web space included with your web access package from your internet service provider (ISP) to your own dedicated web server with a separate database server.
Your choice of web host can be dependent on a number of considerations:
- How reliable is the service provided by your hosting company? Do they regularly experience problems that result in your website being unavailable?
- Do you find that your website is slow to load?
- How much webspace is available to you? A large ecommerce website can consume a lot of space.
- Do you require a database server?
- Are you using any specific technologies that may govern your choice of server platform (Windows or Linux)?
We have a wealth of experience in web hosting and can help you decide on the best hosting to suit your requirements.

web hosting from Samarind
We offer web hosting on our own dedicated servers situated in a secure UK data centre.
By only using dedicated servers, that are not affected by abuse or excessive load from non-Samarind clients, we can offer 99.9% uptime for your website (excluding scheduled maintenance).
Our servers are backed up daily, so in the unlikely event of a system failure, we are able to get your website back online quickly and with a minimum of fuss.
Additionally, when your site is hosted on our server, you have access to detailed web traffic statistics, updated daily, to help you analyse how your site is being used.
We can offer hosting on Windows servers or Linux servers, depending on what is required by your website.
Windows hosting
If your website uses Microsoft technologies such as ASP, ASP.NET, or Microsoft SQL Server, we can offer hosting on a Windows 2003 Server.
Linux hosting
If your website uses non-Microsoft technologies such as Perl or PHP, Linux hosting may be better suited for you. Database functionality can be provided by a MySQL database server.
Linux can also be a better choice if your website only contains basic HTML content, as it is usually slightly cheaper than Windows hosting.
E-mail hosting
We are able to offer full SMTP and POP3 mail services, with integrated anti-spam software.
If you already operate a corporate e-mail system, we can offer backup mail queues which will automatically queue your incoming mail in the event of your own mail server being unavailable.
