Xhost
are aware that deciding on a web hosting company for your
business site is an important decision, and one which should
not be undertaken lightly.
We
realise that complex hosting plans, with offers of instant
sign-up, unlimited bandwidth and unlimited disk space may
be compelling. Xhost have taken the decision that to do
so could, and most probably would, compromise performance.
With
this in mind, we have chosen to provide a high quality hosting
service, with no compromises to keep prices low to the detriment
of service.
We
have developed a strict set of server operating procedures
and support services which will ensure that if you choose
to host with us, your business website will not suffer the
outages which are inevitable with poor quality hosting companies.
- We
provide an intelligent 24x7x365 website monitoring
service which will determine if your server is underperforming
and take automatic action to recover the situation. If
automatic recovery is not possible it will page support
staff.
- We
guarantee that we will respond to all your support
requests within 24 hours.
- We
provide telephone support during office hours 9:00
- 5:00 Mon-Fri
- We
ensure that all our servers are operated well within
pre-defined service thresholds, and automatically
monitor CPU utilisation and disk space useage.
- We
backup each server daily, and provide a restore
service from single file up to complete website restore.
- All
our servers are built to defined standards with performance
and reliability in mind, incorporating RAID drives,
Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPS), component monitoring,
and in the unlikely event of complete server failure,
we operate standby servers for complete server restoration.
- We
take our 99.5% availability target seriously, and
monitor ourselves continuously to make sure that it is
achieved.
- We
publish and adhere to our operating
policies which are printed in clear English with minimum
jargon, and are designed to be fair and consistent.
We
are so confident of our commitment to service that at any
time during the first 30 days after your site goes live,
we will refund your hosting charges to you if you are not
fully satisfied with our service.
