United Hosting have operated since 1998 and we have found them to be totally reliable with excellent customer service. We run a dedicated server purely for our clients which ensure reliability, speed and an IP address shared with only authentic, quality websites.
The important aspect we value for ecommerce is backups; all our ecommerce sites are backed-up 4 times per day. So in the event of any issues we can ‘roll-back’ to a previous version of any site. This provides valuable insurance when dealing with important customer and product data.
