Xen solution meets e-commerce demand

“A lot of hosting companies talk about 99.999% SLA, this means nothing if their support fails to deliver but with ForLinux’s support you know you’re in good hands. I’ve just checked one of our older servers that’s due to be replaced this year, it’s uptime is 902 Days! Needless to say ForLinux will be handling the upgrade.” Ashley Peake, Technical Director, Rapid Web Ltd.

“They’re very good at being proactive rather than reactive. The five years of partnership pretty much speaks for itself. And it has been improving all the time, so satisfaction levels are still high. The price is surprisingly good as well for the kind of industry they’re in, so that’s another plus point. ” Danny Ramdenee, Head of IT, Insurancewide
