Gymbods.com online fitness experts grow their business with UKFast

"When we first looked at potential hosting services we were unsure about our longer term requirements in relation to servers and hosting," says Adam Ashford, MD of GymBods.com, the online fitness experts. "We signed up to UKFast and they provided the help and advice we needed to support us all the way."

GymBods.com.com - Fit for Life

GymBods.com.com is a website dedicated to helping people keep fit. The innovative internet business provides personal fitness plans, motivational e-tools and online support from qualified, accredited personal trainers.

"We work on the basis that there is no need for expensive equipment," says Adam. "You select whether you want to work out at home or in the gym. Each fitness plan is built around where and how often you wish to exercise and what equipment (if any) is available to you."

GymBods.com has hosted its servers with UKFast for a number of years. The online fitness company is very happy with the service they've been provided with. Adam comments: "We would most defiantly recommend UKFast to anybody who requires professional advice, personalised packages at affordable prices and dedicated hosting with outstanding technical support."

A healthy and growing business

GymBods.com.com has blossomed into a very successful online enterprise supported by The Prince's Trust. It has members from all over the world - including the USA, United Kingdom, Europe, Middle East and Australia. The enterprise is regularly approached to supply fitness experts to TV programmes. So as GymBods.com grows as a business, UKFast increases its hosting solution to cater for extra website traffic and bandwidth usage.

"We started out on shared hosting and now UKFast manages our dedicated servers," Adam recalls. "As soon as we're in a position to upgrade servers again, we know that UKFast will be able to support us and make the transition really easy."

Zero downtime delivers a quality customer experience for GymBods.com web users

"Our current dedicated server allows full support to our members on a daily basis. The fact that we have zero downtime has been because of UKFast and their fantastic technical support."

Zero downtime is a must for serious internet business looking to provide the best customer service. GymBods.com needs to function at any hour of the day or night as its visitors come from every corner of the globe and therefore many different time zones. If the website was regularly unavailable its visitors would not come back.

CTmonitoring for the ultimate in server awareness

A wealth of technological innovations compliment GymBods.com's dedicated server, making sure the company has the most reliable internet infrastructure. One of these is CTmonitoring.

CTmonitoring (capacity threshold monitoring) means GymBods.com can track every aspect of their dedicated server, from bandwidth consumption to disk utilisation. If a pre-defined threshold is reached the company is alerted right away by email and text message, and technical experts are available to give advice on the next steps.

SSL certification for secure online transactions

UKFast provided SSL certification for GymBods.com in order to guarantee its web users a safe and secure online experience. SSL uses a private key to encrypt data that's transferred online.

Providing flawless technical support and a scalable infrastructure

UKFast ensures that technical help and advice is available within three rings of the telephone, providing a human touch in what is so often a cold and unfriendly industry.

"The UKFast support team has always been there for GymBods.com 24 hours a day and seven days a week," says Adam. "We love the fact that a technical expert is a phone call away. When we need any upgrades to our package, our account manager always provides the best advice for our needs within our budgets, also allowing for upscale at anytime. Superb and friendly, UKFast's service is first class!"
