Managed Hosting

At Loading Deck we provide an efficient and cost effective alternative to purchasing managed hosting via our server management that empowers you to take advantage of our time and experience whilst hosting elsewhere. Many of our customers lease or colocate servers elsewhere or use clouds such as Amazon Web Services.

If, however, you would prefer to source your server and server management together, we are pleased to offer managed cloud hosting on our vmware private cloud. Our vmware cloud utilises Enterprise Plus software from vmware, a market leader in cloud orchestration. We additionally use enterprise hardware, optional high availability and redundancy throughout to offer a powerful, reliable and secure platform for your websites.

All of our hosting is managed by us, with exactly the same benefits as our server management, with the added benefit that everything is under one roof. Our managed hosting can take the form of managed cloud (also known as VPS), or, optionally, managed dedicated servers. Because we are primarily a consultancy and development company, our priority is to offer you the service that you need to accommodate your websites and our hosting is just one part of that.

Our management includes advice and troubleshooting, security, performance improvements, backup creation and much more from our experienced UK-based engineers. We monitor everything to make sure that your server is healthy and your website is up and fast, 24×7. We also have software developers on-hand for development tasks (at extra cost).

Our hosting is completely scalable. The foundation is PCI compliant and certified by vmware, KPMG, AICPA and the Cloud Security Alliance. Fully managed hosting starts from £70 per month.
