Our shared web hosting servers offer an entry level, high performance platform for small companies to host their website.
Your website is housed on a shared Enterprise Linux based web server platform or a Microsoft Windows 2003 Server.
Unlike some hosting providers, for security reasons, we do not allow scripting or database services on these systems. This ensures that poor scripting or database management by one website can not affect the performance of our other customers.
For customers who require scripting or database services, we have priced our entry level Dedicated Virtual Server packages to make them easily accessable.

You can run multiple websites, Internet shops, and any other Internet applications from either a dedicated virtual Linux or Microsoft server tailored to your requirements.
The Dedicated Virtual Server package provides you with a dedicated Centos Enterprise Linux or Windows 2003/8 Server, with SSH or Terminal Services access to it.
Microsoft Internet Information Services or Apache are also installed by default.
You can also request that MySql database server, and OS-Commerce are installed.

For example, your website could be www.yourcompany.com, and your email user@yourcompany.com.
The Virtual Internet Office also takes advantage of our anti-spam and anti-virus gateways to significantly reduce unwanted and potentially dangerous email.
Additional Configurations and Dedicated Hosting
ESIX Group are also pleased to provide quotations for non standard hosting.
We operate several hosting centres throughout Europe and can cater for every requirement, from hosting of single servers, to fully feature disaster recovery solutions.
Read More >>The ESIX Group Virtual Hosting Centre provides a comprehensive and secure environment in which to host your Internet services.
Traditional hosting and collocation requires you to install physical hardware at the hosting centre of your choice.
The disadvantages of this are obvious. The hosting costs of additional equipment increases in direct proportion to the number of servers hosted. Similarly licensing costs also increase at a proportional rate. The support costs in terms of hardware maintenance, software maintenance and on site visits also increase exponentially.
Our virtual hosting platform enables customers to host their services without the need for expensive hardware and software environments. There is also no need for your staff to make onsite maintenance visits, as these areas are provided by our own fully trained support staff. Archiving of your systems is also provided by ESIX Group, as part of the hosting contract.
Our investment in Virtual Machine technology provides the opportunity for any organisation large or small, to enhance their business connectivity without significant capital expenditure.
For customers who already have physical systems housed in data centres, these can easily be replaced by virtual servers running in our Virtual Server Farm. This enables your organisation to substantially reduce both your capital expenditure and operational expenditure budgets for providing these services.
Our Virtual Server technology therefore enables customers from all over the world to house services in our data centre, taking advantage of one of the best communications hubs in Europe, whilst minimising the cost of providing the services you require.

Read More >>ESIX provide high quality website design services based on the award winning Joomla content management system. We specialise in designing high quality websites powered by Joomla, because we have found that it is the most versatile and easy to use website content management system available. Even commercially based systems do not provide the functionality and versatility of Joomla.
Unlike many other designers, we only use Joomla to provide the backend content management for your website. This allows you to add new pages and information to your site quickly and easily.
Many website designers construct your website in flash or standard HTML and CSS. This method looks very neat and impressive, but in reality, is exceptionally difficult to manage. Adding additional pages and even modifying the content of an existing page, is a daunting task for the average user.
Furthermore, if you need to modify the overall layout of your website, you need to update every page on your website. If you have a small number of pages this is achievable, but if you have tens, or even hundreds of pages, this becomes a significant problem.
By adopting Joomla as our website content management system of choice, we can provide a reliable and extendable website, which requires minimal maintenance and therefore allows you to concentrate on your core business.
Read More >>The ESIX Consulting Team is made up of independent specialist consultants who have worked in the IT security arena for a minimum of 10-15 years. We provide consultancy services throughout Europe and worldwide.
Unlike many self styled Security Consultants who have little or no practical experience in this area, our consultants have extensive knowledge of security related issues ranging from the operating system itself right up to the application layer. We also have extensive experience in designing corporate security policy and procedures, to provide a complete security framework for your organisation.
Because we operate as independent consultants, we bring with us a wealth of experience from a wide range of organisations and industries ranging from Central Government institutions and large multinational companies, to smaller organisations such as charities and travel companies.
Network security is a business wide issue and not just a problem for the IT manager. It requires specialist skills to design, review and implement best security practice.
ESIX consultants can bring an objectivity, which those close to an organisation are incapable of achieving. A neutral assessment of the security provisions of a company can help an overworked IT department provide a better service to the organisation concerned, and ultimately to its customers.
As any IT manager knows, recruiting and retaining specialist security personnel is a significant challenge.ESIX have a ready-made team of industry specialists within a broad range of security disciplines, including network infrastructure, encryption, disaster recovery, VMware rationalisation and deployment, forensics and fraud investigation.
This enables our consultants to undertake new projects and "hit the ground running", saving any organisation valuable time, and ultimately money.
As the computer industry matures, it is necessary to have a regulatory body to ensure that only fully qualified professionals can practice at a senior level. This has been true in the accounting, engineering and building industries for many years.
All our consultants have attained and qualified as Chartered Members of the British Computer Society, which sets the Gold Standard of IT professionalism.
