What Are The BENEFITS OF HOSTED Servers & Infrastructure?
Among a wide range of benefits, the following are often the most compelling reasons for organisations to adopt a hosted server setup.
Account Management
Hosted servers eliminate the IT infrastructure limitations that a growing business can face.
For SMEs, the low monthly cost of a hosted server removes the hardware cost of replacing in-house servers. Our hosted setup provides a far more professional and reliable alternative. Additionally, our setup supports hybrid working and flexible remote access, something that’s often out of budget for small organisations.
For larger or expanding companies, our cloud servers offer an easy-to-manage, scalable, solution. Rather than the hassle of expensive upgrade projects when your in-house servers reach capacity, our hosted server solution allows you to add, or take away extra space in minutes, meaning you only ever need to pay for the storage you’re actively using.
Cost-Saving
Hosted servers remove the need for in-house hardware and software, plus associated upgrades or expansion costs. In finance terms, CAPEX becomes OPEX which generally looks better on balance books.
Our hosted solutions are also fully supported and monitored. By moving your server to our environment, you’ll remove the ongoing cost and hassle of server maintenance as an additional cost.
Finally, powering and cooling an in-house server can also cost an organisation. So by moving to a hosted server solution, you also save more money than you’d think on your energy bills.
Reliability
Our hosted server solutions offer increased reliability over an in-house server setup.
Networks hosted solutions are run from our two ISO 27001 and ISO 9001-accredited data centre installations, based in Maidstone and Reading. As we operate these two separate data centres, we can also replicate data between the two locations for added data security. This means that our hosted server solution can also fulfil your disaster recovery and business continuity requirements.
Variables that pose a risk of disaster to inhouse systems such as theft, accidental or intended damage, hacking or loss of connectivity are all extremely unlikely to affect one of our secure data centres, not to mention both of them making it almost impossible for your data to be lost.
Why Choose Networks For Cloud Server Hosting?
Our Owned Data Centres
Unlike many providers, we own and manage our cloud hosting infrastructure entirely in-house, removing third-party delays and mark-ups. We can deliver both virtual server and private cloud environments tailored to your needs.
24/7 Monitoring And Support
Our dedicated infrastructure team proactively monitors your environment, detecting and resolving issues before they affect performance. We ensure your systems remain secure, stable, and compliant with industry best practices.
Built-In Security And Disaster Recovery
With advanced DDoS protection, VMware hyper-converged technology and Cisco networking, our cloud hosting services deliver maximum data security, scalability and peace of mind.
Sustainable Cloud Hosting Solutions
Our award-winning data centres use innovative fresh air cooling, consuming up to five times less energy per kW of IT load than the average facility. We choose hardware that outperforms standard servers, lasting longer and reducing environmental waste. When hardware reaches end-of-life, it’s repurposed or responsibly recycled.

What Are The Advantages Of Using Cloud Server Hosting?
Networks Engineering cloud server hosting offers several advantages over traditional hosting methods. Cloud servers are highly scalable, allowing you to quickly and easily increase or decrease your resources as needed. This flexibility makes them ideal for businesses with fluctuating traffic or seasonal spikes in demand. Our hosted services are fully managed meaning you don’t need to worry about upkeep. Additionally, cloud hosting providers offer better uptime guarantees and more robust security features than traditional hosting providers. Hosted servers can also be accessed from anywhere, making them a great choice for businesses with remote workers or multiple locations. Finally, cloud server hosting is often more cost-effective than traditional hosting methods, as you only pay for the resources you use.
How Secure Is Networks Cloud Server Hosting?
Our cloud infrastructure operates from two ISO 27001 and ISO 9001-accredited data centres, based in Maidstone and Reading, where we’ve designed and installed our own hosted infrastructure from the ground up.
