Website Hosting
Professional website hosting makes a difference to your site’s speed, responsiveness and user experience, and here at Ballyhoo we are proud to offer exceptional services to ensure your website stays discoverable and usable for your audience and customers.
Whether you’re looking for a new website, or want to migrate your existing website, we can help you with our reliable website hosting services.
Secure Hosting
Ballyhoo keeps your website fast, secure and available to your customers 24/7. We have developed a secure hosting environment on our own high-specification managed servers which are continually monitored and maintained.
Our server has a robust firewall, and server-level access is only granted to authorised users who must meet strict requirements.
Backup & Recovery
We have tools in place to monitor traffic and look for suspicious behaviour. Threats are dealt with promptly and you can rest assured that in the event of an attack or vulnerability we can easily restore your website to a previous state if needed. We also have point-in-time database backups so can restore data to any exact moment from the past 2 weeks, minimising the impact of restoring from backups. We carry out daily differential website backups, have 24-hour server monitoring and keep full backups for a two-week retention period.
Server Maintenance
We use an uptime and usage monitoring system, allowing us to be notified of any issues, to ensure that anyone accessing your website experiences a smooth user journey with no hiccups or lag and that websites suffer minimal downtime in the event of an issue.
Our servers are regularly updated to the latest versions of available hardware and software and maintained to ensure that they stay fast and secure.
Certified Sustainable Hosting
Our hosting is green-certified, meaning our clients benefit from websites that run on renewable energy. Our hosting infrastructure has produced 0.0 MTCO2e carbon emissions since 2020.
Our accreditation on the Green Web Directory requires us to provide evidence of our carbon emissions (or lack thereof), and to continue to demonstrate that Ballyhoo’s servers run on renewables to retain our accreditation.
UK Servers
Our servers are based right here in the UK. All of the websites that we manage and create are located on these servers, meaning that they adhere to UK legislation and data protection and are safe, secure, and promote quick website load speeds.
Shared and Dedicated Hosting
As standard, our clients are hosted on our shared servers, meaning that you share a server with a handful of other Ballyhoo clients. This is ideal for smaller websites or new launches, as it allows you to spread the cost of hosting whilst still meaning your website is online and available for users. We carefully manage resources to ensure that each site we host is secure and operating optimally, with robust infrastructure in place to rapidly scale and respond to incidents.
However, a dedicated server may better suit your company needs. This is where you have an entire server to yourselves, with the highest level of performance and security. We would recommend this option for larger websites, organisations with multiple websites, and those with high monthly user views, in addition to all ecommerce websites. A dedicated server allows you a higher level of security and performance.
If you are currently on a shared server and want to move to a dedicated server, migrating couldn’t be easier – we handle the entire process for you, ensuring that your website and files are migrated with little to no downtime for your team and website users.
