  • ISO 27001-certified information security management for compliance and peace of mind.

Keeping your data in the UK – and in safe hands: Many “UK” hosting packages actually use overseas servers or third-party data centres. At Strategies, our server hardware is owned and maintained by our in-house team, housed at Datum’s List X high-security facility in Farnborough – the same location as our head office. This means faster physical access, stricter controls, and a hosting partner that’s genuinely accountable.

Built for resilience and performance: We use enterprise-grade VMware vSphere technology with multiple redundancies – from RAID arrays and dual power supplies to mirrored disks and diverse fibre routing. If a component fails, your service stays online. Our systems achieve over 99.9% uptime, and bandwidth is unmetered, so your users always get the speed they expect.

Security that goes beyond the basics: Our hosting meets ISO 27001 standards, with strict access controls, firewall protection, and 24/7 monitoring via Nagios and the ELK stack. HTTPS is standard, and we apply security patches promptly. Bring-your-own-device access is locked down with secure VPNs, and all staff are trained in data security as part of our Information Security Policy.

Disaster recovery you can count on: For businesses where downtime is simply not an option, we offer hot-standby disaster recovery. This replicates your entire system to a second secure site in real time. If disaster strikes, we can bring your platform back online in minutes – not days.

Support that solves problems, not tickets: Because our hosting, maintenance, and support are delivered by the same team that builds our websites, you’ll always be talking to someone who knows your system inside out. No call centres, no passing the buck – just expert help when you need it.

Who benefits most from secure UK hosting? Our services are ideal for businesses handling sensitive or regulated data; organisations requiring UK data residency for compliance; brands that depend on uptime for sales or service delivery; and companies seeking a single, accountable hosting partner.
