Web hosting

We offer our website clients a special fully managed web hosting service that includes all updates and off-site backups, so you don't have to worry about any of the technicalities.

This is much better than standard shared hosting, where a single unpatched plugin or weak password can result in an entire server being hacked, blacklisted or slowing to a crawl. People sometimes lose all their data, their backups and even control of their domain name without warning! You need something better than that.

• We host your site on a fast VPS (virtual private server) located in a data center with redundant power and network connections.
• All software inside the VPS is managed by Beeches IT and kept as up to date as possible for maximum stability and security.
• Your files and database contents are automatically backed up daily and stored both on-site and off-site. If there's a disaster, a recent version of your site can typically be restored to a new web server by any competent web technician within hours.
• We monitor your server continuously to get early warning of problems such as overloading or a possible hack or DoS (denial of service) attack. We've even survived a tweet from Stephen Fry and an attack from 300,000 different IP addresses!
• There are no arbitrary limits on server or network resources and the size of the VPS can be increased to cope with thousands of simultaneous visitors but we reserve the right to negotiate a higher fee for heavily used sites.
• We can take care of all your email addresses as well, ensuring messages are delivered without delay and can be viewed or searched on any device, effectively spam filtered and with the correct "from" address set (as well as SPF, DKIM and DMARC records).
