Web Direct Studio: High quality business development, SEO Services, websites, books, eBooks and graphic design offered at competitive prices.

Hosting is a funny thing. On the web, most of the clients we deal with consider it a done deal governed by the lowest possible cost. They focus all their efforts (and money) on getting great website design or website content or SEO.

This is totally understandable. Hosting is probably one of the most arcane disciplines of the web with 99% of our attention focused on the 1% of it which is visible to us: the fact that we type a URL address and a website appears on our browser. The bits we don’t see: server architecture, server uptime, internet backlink stability, bandwidth of server provider (not your website bandwidth), monitored uptime activity, database interruptions, intrusion protection, daily backups, offsite backups and PHP environment stability and updates, are the things which become critical only when they go wrong, or do not work as they should.




At WDS we have always considered hosting to be the foundation upon which your website is built. Because we have seen enough cases of hosting environments causing website functionality problems, security problems and even basic uptime problems we invested an entire year in research and trials before with various hosting solutions before we could find one we could confidently work with.

The result is WDS Hosting. An integrated cost-effective solution which combines the best of a class-A hosting environment with high-end features. Starting at just £5 ($8.99) you get:

• 200MB - Secure Disk Space
• 5GB - Premium Bandwidth
• Unlimited Mailboxes, MySQL DBs, Sub & Parked Domains
• Monitored uptime
• Managed hosting environment (reduce the risk of security breaches to a minimum)
• Monitored daily back ups of your entire website data

• Web Mail access (allows you to monitor your email from anywhere in the world)
• Secure password tools
• Powerful website control features

The advantages of using our web hosting service do not stop there. Following Google’s Panda update hosting stability, site uptime and the speed at which a server answers requests and your website loads on a visitor’s web browser are all metrics which Google uses to establish how ‘good’ or ‘bad’ your website is for the end-user.

Google’s focus on the end-user experience now puts the hosting stability of your website in its cross-hairs. This means that if you take the standard view we see so frequently and believe that hosting is the last requirement to trouble yourself with when it comes to your online success, sooner or later, you will have to also content with a drop in Google rankings and a severe reduction in traffic figures which will be hard to explain at the time and which will impact upon your business.

Because good online business is built from the ground up a move to the WDS Hosting solution will give you the quality web hosting platform your online business needs to succeed without increasing your hosting costs unnecessarily.
