Hosting Services

‘We can take care of everything need to get your website up and running, and make sure you are comfortable before the project ends.’

In order for your website to be visible to your customers, it needs to be "hosted". GCMedia offers bespoke and fully-managed hosting solutions. Our servers are in a UK-based datacentre, linked to the Internet with an extremely fast connection. Here are the main benefits of hosting your website with GCMedia:

  • As mentioned, we provide a bespoke and fully-managed service. We will take care of producing and then hosting your website, so your project is covered from start to finish. We know that you can get hosting from many places these days, but we will provide higher levels of tailored, individual support.
  • We provide a Web Control Panel, allowing you to make changes to your e-mail addresses, domain name and so on (such as creating sub-domains like "shop.yourdomain.com").
  • We provide as many email addresses as you require.
  • We provide Virus Protection for all email addresses. We do not charge extra for each email address, unlike some companies.
  • We provide cutting-edge Spam protection, to minimise the amount of spam hitting your mailboxes. As of 17th July 2007, after 126 days of operation, our Spam filter stopped the processing of 27,229 illicit messages. We now also have an extensive database of spam keywords, derived from 1000s of spams to identify offensive and virus-carrying emails. We also ban repeated offenders by their IP Address, and perform blacklist (and whitelist) checks on each and every email that passes through our servers. The spam protection identifies bad attachments and eliminates them from emails before they get anywhere near your inbox. The Spam filtering technology we employ is constantly monitored and regularly updated to ensure that we keep one step in front of the spammers!
  • We can register your domain name (if available; domain names are 'rented' on a temporary basis and have to be renewed. This is standard industry practice and is same for everyone. However, you always have first refusal on continuing the rental of your domain name).
  • We design and configure your new website on our servers.
  • We ensure that you are able to remotely change website content in your site (if you have also purchased an editing interface).
  • We ensure that website backups take place.
  • We perform any other necessary server configuration to get your website up and running.

Other Services:

  • We provide DotNetNuke hosting services, directly from our servers, if you would like to choose this type of platform for your website. Let us know your domain name and we will do the rest. As a result, you will have a clean portal system from which to remotely create an identity for your business.
  • We can provide other services that require your own licenced server software. If you have any requirements like that, please feel free to discuss them with us using the "Contact Us" page under the "Home" tab.

Please contact us to discuss your requirements, and set up a meeting.

Warning!

Be wary of other sites offering Search Engine Optimization services. There's actually no need for you to have your website optimised by one of these specialist companies. There are a few simple and legal rules that GCMedia follows to help your site get your site properly indexed, but we do not recommend SEO for your business at all. Search engines such as Google and MSN Search are so technically advanced that you do not need to really do anything, as these search engines actively index all pages on the Internet. In fact, if you attempt to use SEO services, this can result in your website being penalised by the search engines result listings. So at GCMedia we do not offer any Search Engine Optimisation services as we believe them to be a waste of money. All we do is concentrate on building a properly-designed site for you.
