Hotbox Studios – Web Design, Animation and Branding

Website, Application and Database Hosting

The Hotbox Studios hosting environment - provided for our client's websites, databases and software applications - is based on Cloud architecture.

We use hardware and software solutions from leading vendors such as Dell, Cisco and Microsoft to provide standards based platform compatibility.

Our dedicated servers and firewalls operate in a mirrored configuration providing multitier redundancy; hosted within a UK based Tier III grade data centre offering premium levels of availability and security.

Client connections run entirely over SSL meaning they are always safe even via a public Wi-Fi spot.

What this means for you are no issues with hardware, performance or resilience - websites and online systems are fast, reliable and secure.

Our hosting packages - which we believe are exceptional value for money - are explained in more detail below.

You may have seen cheaper 'shared hosting' packages advertised although we always strongly advise against shared hosting packages. What shared hosting means is that your website or system is located on a basic server - often with little or no security - shared with hundreds of others websites. You will have no way of knowing who these other websites belong to or how much of a strain they are putting on the shared server. All this often results in problems with speed and performance, concurrency, reliability and security.

If you would like any further information about the benefits of Hotbox Studios dedicated and secure server environment, or even a tour of our facility, please contact us!
