Hosting

Flexible hosting

We are flexible enough to support a range of hosting setups. Some enterprise clients have their own arrangements with providers, but most of our clients use us to manage their hosting. We’re able to take on your existing arrangements if needed, or set you up on Platform.sh, our preferred hosting provider.

We have reduced hosting costs by up to 50% by using Platform.sh, so if you’re interested to see if you could save too then get in touch!

Host with us

We can transparently handle the day-to-day issues, security updates and SSL certificates.

ComputerMinds have run and hosted some of our client sites for many years - a great testament to our continuing service and reliability. 

The costs are always transparent, and we're appropriately responsive when there are issues causing downtime. In fact, we're usually on it before the email comes in.

We can set up hosting for your new site

If you build a new site with us, we can work with your IT team to set everything up - and then coordinate a seamless transition to the new site.

We can take on your existing setup, from any platform

Over our years we've worked with most large hosting providers, including AWS and Rackspace. We can handle it!

When you're ready, we can crunch the numbers to see if you could reduce costs by moving to our preferred provider, platform.sh (one client saved almost 50% on their hosting bill!).

Innovations that work

Our preferred hosting service, platform.sh is an innovative BCORP with flagship features that work both for us and our clients.

We've found that platform.sh has great options for choosing the system CPU power and memory availability. All our sites - big and small - are running smoothly with an appropriate resource allocation, and the costs are appropriate too!

Reduced costs

Having most of our clients on the same hosting platform means simplicity and efficiency for us, and that generally translates into less time billed. Furthermore, the move to platform.sh reduced the annual hosting cost for one client by almost 50%.

Dedicated test environments

The ability to create clones of the live site almost instantly allows for automatic creation of test environments for validating changes. Having an exact copy of production, rather than an outdated database with a mishmash of code, gives reliability for those testing out the new changes. This saves everyone time and stress.

Built for modern development

A complete set of tooling means that we're again and again impressed with platform.sh and the ease of use it brings to our dev team and our hosting needs.
