WEB-HOSTING BY INVITATION

Bucks Hosting offers web-hosting only to known clients or those recommended by trusted associates; principally, small businesses and low-bandwidth customers.

Why is this? Well, one of the most fundamental objectives of these types of client is RELIABILITY — it's as simple as that! Everyone likes affordability too — the problem with finding an ultra-reliable hosting package is that they're mostly very expensive. Why? 99.90% uptime (or as close to this optimum as one may sensibly expect) requires a server of top-quality and one that is not shared with any other hosting companies or end-users — we have our own dedicated server exclusively for our customers, fully managed 24/7/365 by our hosting provider.

Furthermore, sensible use of bandwidth and load spreading, along with our policy of refusing to allow any known resource-hungry websites to be hosted, e.g. no Warez; no Bit Torrents; no Anime; no ROMs & Emulators; no IRC, no streaming; no commercial Bulk advertising (SPAM) etc. All of these exclusions help to maintain optimum reliability and uptime!

Dell is our server manufacturer of choice; BlueSquare Data is our provider of choice, situated at Maidenhead, Windsor and recently, Milton Keynes UK — BlueSquare Data's newest datacentre.
