Essential infrastructure to launch your business online

Simply put – yes! Companies with an online presence traditionally receive greater numbers of prospects and customers, brand recognition and website growth than purely brick-and-mortar businesses. 80% of customers consult search engines before making a purchase so having a website will feature your brand in local search results across a wide range of devices.

With over 1.7 billion live websites around the world, there’s a good chance your ideal domain name is already registered to another company. In this case, you can adopt a different TLD (for example, .today or .ltd). You can also shorten your domain name or add a word to indicate your industry or location (for example, mybrandnameiscarlisle.co.uk).

We are part of a family of businesses known collectively as The Hut Group. THG has a presence around the world, and our sister brands include bare metal server provider IngenuityCloudServices.com and our virtual private server partner VPS.NET. At the same time, UK2 still operates as a stand-alone brand, giving our customers a single point of contact.

UK2 offers each customer space on a shared server, meaning the contents of your website and email are securely stored on the same giant hard drives as other unrelated companies in different industries. Sharing resources helps to bring down the cost of our hosting services, while ensuring every client has plenty of resources at their disposal at any given moment.

As companies grow, they might want the greater control and customisation available from a dedicated server of their own. If this is something your business could benefit from, our sister brand THG Hosting is able to offer bare metal servers which can be configured to your exact customisation, with up to 10Gbps connectivity and over 30 global data centres.
