Website Hosting

A website needs to be stored on a server (a type of computer) which is permanently connected to the Internet with a very fast connection and a reliable power supply. Hiltonian Media’s hosting services provide just that — your website is stored on one of our powerful, reliable servers in a state-of-the-art datacentre facility in Reading, UK.

We provide fully-featured off-the-shelf hosting packages that can be tailored to your exact needs when the time comes to expand.

If you require email facilities, please get in touch to discuss your requirements. Hiltonian Media is a Microsoft 365 Cloud Solutions Provider and can provide Microsoft 365 solutions.

Shared Hosting           Managed Virtual Servers

Shared Hosting

“Shared” hosting means that your website is hosted alongside several other websites, sharing the same memory, storage and processor resources. For most websites this provides the best value for money, whilst still providing excellent flexibility. Unless you run a very high-usage website, have high storage needs, or require full PCI compliance for card processing, this is probably the best solution for you.

Data Backups

Unlike most other hosting providers, your website is backed up to a remote site every night, then backed up to magnetic tape on a weekly basis. Whilst we hope never to need these backups, it provides you with the added peace of mind that your data is safe if something catastrophic happens.

Managed Virtual Servers

If you are running a large or very popular website, or you have advanced hosting requirements, then a Managed Virtual Server may be the ideal solution for you.

Several “virtualised” servers run on the same hardware but as completely separate processes. You get your own instance of the operating system, your own storage space, and the ability to install whatever software you like (within reason!).

Server Management

Hiltonian Media will manage your virtual server for you to ensure that it is up-to-date with the latest patches; it will also be backed-up to a remote site so that if something goes wrong you don’t lose all your data. It will be set up run as a web server with database support. Other configurations are available but there may be a setup and/or ongoing charge.
