Better defining Small Scale
Solutions role, realising that the name was a hell
of a mouthful and wanting to upgrade the company
to a more formal basis -
is born.
September 2003
As our customers websites have developed so have
their technological demands - the company purchases
its own web server to be hosted on the Internet
backbone. This £3,500 per annum investment
proves our commitment to offering the right service
and developing our business ofereing for our existing
customers who can now demand a more sophisticated
hosting solution - but allows us to offer better
rates for simpler sites thus breaking out from the
any site one fee from simpler 'shared hosting' solutions.
This solution also realistically identifies that
our clients do not make massive demands on resources
so the web server will run extremely quickly with
our low demand clients.
