"I want to put on record my acknowledgement of service excellence from Rapidhost.
I have come to expect a problem free service hosting service and Rapidhost are no exception in that regard. The real judge of service is the reaction under pressure. My website was recently maliciously compromised through no fault of RapidHost. Your helpfulness and responsiveness has been outstanding and a benchmark by which others should be judged. The actions of your team show service excellence in deeds not just words. Many thanks,
Terry Forsey"
Hosting
One of the leading web hosting companies in the UK, we provide hosting
solutions whether you are simply looking to make the most of your
email and the web or to have online applications that are mission critical
to your business.
By providing hosting solutions on MS Windows, Linux and Mac
platforms, along with SQL Server, mySQL, Access and FileMaker
database back ends, we are sure we can meet all your hosting
requirements.
Dedicated servers running Windows Server 2008 now available
Recommended for more complex applications, e-commerce and
database driven websites, hosting on a dedicated server provides
you the flexibility to create your web presence in the way you require,
within a secure hosting environment.
You choose the combination of hardware and software. We take care
of the server and guarantee uptime.
Because you’re not sharing a server with other sites, the performance
will be maximised.
With full administrative access, you have total control over your web
presence without the capital expense of buying your own servers or
the complexity of managing your own connectivity.
Alternatively you may wish to opt for the fully managed package,
gaining all the performance, reliability, control and security benefits
without the day-to-day maintenance and management hassles.
Consider a dedicated server if:
• uptime and availability are critical to your business
• your site is highly trafficked
• you need to host multiple web sites
Virtual Private Servers (VPS)
RapidHost also offers a VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting platform,
which among other things allows us to offer extremely cost effective dedicated
server offerings. VPS enables the partitioning of a high specification
machine into 'virtual' servers, giving you all the benefits of a dedicated
server including:
• your own secure, separate hosting environment.
• full remote control of your server
• host as many sites as you wish with no additional monthly cost
• the ability to install & configure whatever you like
• enhanced control, including server reboots and backups
• high resilience servers that can be upgraded without any service
interruption
• full anti-virus protection
• fully managed servers including operating system updates
• speed and reliability gained from a professionally managed datacentre
• reduced environmental impact
With a VPS, you get your own secure hosting environment, complete with
root access, and the ability to install and configure whatever you wish
within your environment. Although there is more than one virtual server
on each machine, there is no way for other users to see your VPS or even
know that you are there.
Co-located
Co-location may be the answer for you if you own your own hardware
but don’t have a suitable environment from which to host it.
Let us provide you with as much rack space, power and connectivity
as you need. We’ll leave you to get on with the business of running
your business secure in the knowledge that your equipment is
housed in a data centre which is purpose built to provide all the
security, resilience and connectivity you require.
Please feel free to contact us with any queries you may have. If you are
not sure which is the best hosting solution for you, let us take a look
and we will give you our honest and objective opinion.
