WEBSITE HOSTING
YOU CAN RELY ON

 

A critical aspect of being online for a business is the hosting platform. But it’s an area often overlooked by those seeking a new website. The reason is usually because, at the time, the principle focus is the website itself and not the hosting platform it will operate on. As long as the site works — that is all that matters, right? 

Website hosting often isn’t given a serious thought until something goes horribly wrong, and it does! We’ve had so many clients come to us for managed hosting who have expressed this exact situation; ‘I just had NO idea about the importance of hosting’ - is a common phrase. 

Our ActiveHost system takes daily backups of all our customers individual sites plus we take a disaster recovery backup of our entire server every day. So we can roll back a customers website to the most recent backup in the event of something small going wrong. Or we can restore our entire server easily if something big goes wrong. 

We have an online support ticket system and tech staff available for you to call for any email and website support. We take the management and security of hosting our customers websites extremely seriously.

“I am really ecstatic with the finished website!
It really hit the nail on the brief’s head.”

"I have worked with Activate in the past and was more than happy to engage with them again for our new website. This project started with me looking at ‘award-winning’ websites for inspiration, so I had created a high benchmark to achieve. Working with Activate was hugely collaborative – they were very accommodating in terms of iterations which were always performed in a timely fashion, provided me with excellent back-end training and were just a friendly, approachable team to work with."
