Supporting Services
Things you might not have thought about but are quite important
We have many years of experience and expertise across the disciplines, meaning that we're not JUST a web design firm; on the contrary, we are just as skilled in design for print AND the architecture and management of your network/servers.
Fully-managed hosting services
All of the tech people at H18 are masters of the dark arts of The Geek and take care of the code that runs the Linux platform that hosts our clients' sites.
We dispense with fancy graphic user interfaces, opting instead for the command line interface to our servers. This all means that you, the client, never have to worry about a webhosting control panel, stats, analytics, backups or anything other than the job of running your organisation.
Hosting starts from just £15 per month and can be tailored to your requirements - the LAMP stack is provided as standard.
Free, secure mailboxes powered by Google
We set all new domains up with Google mailservers. This means that your email is handled by the best software in the world, is guaranteed to be spam-free (once your filters are set up properly) and, best of all, it's a free service from Google.
We have a range of email-related services for new clients, please feel free to ask what's possible when you come on board!
Managing your site's codebase and DNS
Quite often our new clients ask us to manage their domain for them, so it makes sense for new codebase - and, in some cases, existing work - to be moved to our network.
We handle all of the technical jobs that are necessary for this to be possible, including creating any database, Subversion or filesystem backups required.
Domain registration and parking
We have an account with LCN, one of the UK's largest domain registrars, and have used them to register hundreds of domains over the past few years (they used to be called "Telivo")
We can take care of the registration of your new domain name for you, as well as the release of its nameservers. This allows you to host it somewhere other than LCN's network.
We're a kind of one-stop-shop who take care of everything your business needs in order to exist both online AND offline.
