If you need a simple, cost-effective way to access your new software application, try our UK-based hosting service provided via industry-leaders, Rackspace.

Many of the bespoke software applications we develop for our customers are web-based, which means that they can all be delivered as ‘cloud-based’ solutions (commonly called Software as a Service – SaaS). Our hosting service with Microsoft Gold Partners, Rackspace, enables us to offer you a quick and simple way to host your new app.

About our cloud hosting service

As a leading bespoke software development company, we aim to provide you with an end-to-end service – building your software and offering the option of hosting, so you don’t need to manage your own servers. We've invested in creating a top-tier server environment with Rackspace, the industry leaders in hosting.

The cloud hosting service we offer is completely optional; there’s no pressure to use it if you prefer to host your app elsewhere.

The secure environment, coupled with the “intensive” support contract we hold with Rackspace, ensures you receive:

  • High-quality functionality and performance at a low cost.
  • High availability – no customer complaints about accessing your app.
  • Hosting setup in our UK data centre.
  • Scalability – adjust server count based on traffic demands.
  • A hassle-free, investment-free software licensing approach.

Hosting Maintenance and Upgrades

We will manage all aspects of hosting your app, including maintenance and upgrades. The benefits to you are:

  • There’s no downtime if something fails, thanks to an immediate “hot” backup that takes over instantly (this is called “fully redundant”).

  • We can patch and upgrade our systems without any downtime.This is due to partial virtualisation and clustering, boosting performance, scalability, and maintainability.

  • We’ll keep you informed of any changes – We consistently monitor and assess traffic levels, storage requirements, and bandwidth usage. We’ll inform you of any significant changes to ensure optimal performance.

Our hosting charge comprises hardware and software usage as well as bandwidth. It is based on a fair usage policy.

Is Geecon’s cloud hosting right for me?

This really depends on what you’re looking for. Some of our customers appreciate the simplicity and added peace of mind that hosting their business application via Geecon brings. For others, hosting applications within a massive high-availability environment such as Azure or Amazon S3, where you “pay as you go” and forfeit hands-on support, is the right choice.

We’ll always guide you through the available hosting options and, if you wish, recommend the one we believe will best meet your needs.
