We build websites and know, first-hand, that unless your website is built on a solid foundation it is unlikely to succeed. Slow servers, hosting environments where the latest functionality being implemented does not work and insecure hosting environments are just some of the problems we see with clients who come to us.

Following the Google Panda algorithm update the quality of your hosting environment is now one of the metrics being used by Google to determine just how your website should rank. This makes it imperative to have a hosting platform that’s reliable, offers adequate back-up safeguards and works to help your site’s standing with search engines.

WebDirectStudio has partnered up with one of the biggest, most reliable names in the business to offer hosting solutions at a competitive price.

When you take out hosting with us, you also, automatically, qualify for special offers in the creation of content for your website, graphic design and, should you need to start a new project, web design and SEO.

We use dedicated spam filtering servers, with definitions updated by human spam editors every 5 minutes to ensure spam and virus email never makes it to your inbox. To help protect you from getting your inbox flooded with spam we employ SpamExperts, spam filtering as standard with all web hosting accounts.

How SpamExperts helps protect your email
Your email is your lifeline to contacts, business partners and prospective clients. The last thing you want is to have to fish through hundreds of spam emails for that single vital message. Much like a PC virus scanner uses virus definitions to protect your PC from malicious code, SpamExperts uses spam definitions to identify and remove spam emails before they reach your inbox. The spam definitions are updated in realtime by real human spam editors to ensure even the most recent spam outbreaks are filtered guaranteeing maximum effectiveness.

Traditional spam filtering used by other hosts, such as SpamAssassin use keywords to guess which emails might be spam - this leads to high false-positive rates (genuine emails being lost). Because SpamExperts does not use traditional scoring, and does not guess which emails may be spam, it leads the industry with a false positive rate of less than 1 in 1 million.

This leaves you free to focus on the proper use of email which is to communicate what you need for your online business.

The attention we pay to something ‘simple’ like email is indicative of the attention to detail we employ in everything we do.
