Web Hosting
What is web hosting?
Web hosting is an online service that allows individuals and organisations to improve visibility and accessibility of their websites. A third-party service provider hosts activity on their behalf, by storing HTML files and graphics on their servers in return for a fee. They may also provide web services and file maintenance, if required.
What we give you
Web hosting provided by Rackspace takes the hassle and cost out of building, managing and operating your web hosting infrastructure – so you can get on with growing your business.
Our Fanatical Support stretches across our data centre, network, hardware, operating system and base application stack (Windows or Linux), giving you a stable and secure web hosting environment. Because we manage your IT infrastructure, you benefit from our resources and industry-leading SLAs:

Choosing the right web hosting solution
Web hosting infrastructure demands change constantly. Seasonal traffic peaks, marketing campaigns, multimedia and many other factors all place a strain on resources. Solutions for website hosting must scale on demand, stay secure and provide a constant presence for the applications that need them.
