If you need website hosting, UK based Compila have a range of packages to meet all of your needs.

Choosing a web site host is a difficult task these days as everybody is claiming that they will supply a quality service for a very low cost. Of course this is not always true and there are many “horror stories” kicking around the Internet about how these hosts have let down their customers on a regular basis.

Many companies claim to provide hosting services to customers in the UK but do they actually have Internet servers located in the country? This is important to know as the performance of your web site can be severely restricted if it is hosted outside of the UK and your visitors are from the UK. The last thing that you want to hear from your visitors is that your site is very slow. We live in an instant gratification world now and people do not want to wait for anything – least of all your web site.

If you are based in the UK, your customers, in the main are in the UK and you have a web site or plan to have one and need website hosting, UK based web hosts are really the best solution. True UK based web hosts will tell you not only that they have servers and associated equipment in the UK but will actually tell you where those servers are located. There are many other advantages of using a UK based website hosting service. Most importantly is the fact they operate in the same time zone as you do. They will also have a UK telephone number based on a low cost tariff meaning that wherever you are in the UK, calls to your web host will be charged as local calls.

Why is all of this important? Well there will be times when you really need to contact your web host. It could possibly be that you have some technical difficulties with your web site or that you require their help in installing or configuring software to make a new feature of your site work properly. Imagine the frustration if you cannot contact them until later in the evening or even the next day and that you have to make an international call in order to do that. Most reputable web hosting companies offer 24 hour support but this is usually only for technical or downtime problems. If you want to upgrade your account or order another service this is normally only available during normal business hours. OK you could send an email and wait but who really wants to do that?
