Applications #

Our dynamic and database web hosting was designed with simple "Content Management Systems" (CMS) in mind. A CMS allows you to log in to your website and update it directly. This means you can concentrate on producing your web content and leave the technical worry of your web application to us. We will install all the plugins you need and take care of upgrades and security updates for you.

In addition, for higher traffic uses, we offer virtual server hosting packages designed to handle everything from email servers to massive sites, or hundreds of small websites.

We can configure virtual servers as required using Nginx or Apache. We can tailor our services to your particular requirements. For all your website and webhosting needs, please get in touch. We will be pleased to discuss your needs and give advice on the options available.

Simple Content Management Systems

These three types of CMS don't need a MySQL database, so they can be used with our Dynamic hosting:

• Get Simple CMS - good for marketing your business or developing support for your organisation, with a range of useful plugins for contact forms, picture galleries and even simple e-commerce.
• DokuWiki - a good choice if you aim to build an expanding repository of information - perhaps for a local history group, or staff/volunteer support documentation.
• FlatPress - for creating a blog or news-based website.

Database Driven Content Management Systems

These require a MySQL database, so they can be used with our Database hosting:

• WordPress - the popular tool of choice, with famously easy install and a tremendous range of plugins (for extra features) and themes (to get just the "look" you want for your site).
• Drupal - a website building framework with nearly unlimited possibilities. Its power and flexibility means you should watch out for a steep learning curve if you're new to working with CMSs. However, with care and knowledge applied, Drupal can be used to build highly customised websites with great ease-of-use.
