VRM Swansea offer a comprehensive range of services for clients wishing to buy or sell desirable vehicle number plates in the UK and Northern Ireland. Previously their www.plates4less.co.uk website won Best Web Functionality in the UKFast Internet Awards.
The Plates4less website is a busy e-commerce website which has a database of over 27 million affordable personalised number plates for visitors to search and order securely online. As such, reliability and speed are essential requirements to ensure customers can find what they want, and then be confident of speedy and guaranteed delivery.
The company required an e-commerce hosting solution which would offer enhanced speed, security and a strong focus on customer service and support. Since hosting with UKFast the platform has grown beyond recognition as Plates4less' client base has developed and the corresponding hosting requirements have become more sophisticated.
Resilience and reliability with high grade bandwidth
The Plates4less website is based on Windows SQL 2005 Workgroup Edition servers. These servers are perfect for data management for small organisations within larger entities as they provide ample processing power for their requirements. Coupled with UKFast unmetered data transfer policy Plates4less need not worry about how many times the site is viewed.
The biggest challenge for Plates4less is making sure that all of the available registration plates are up-to-date and that consumers can access this information quickly. The UKFast hosting solution is a key part of ensuring that this happens. It is essential that the site provides uptime, resilience and reliability as Plates4less' reputation hangs on this. If people can't access the site they won't recommend it to their friends, family members and colleagues.
Dedicated high grade bandwidth has enabled Plates4less to feel confident in offering a continuous and reliable service to its customers.
Security for purchasers of private number plates
Plates4less needed a hosting partner who provides reliable servers with a 100% uptime guarantee. Their website is very important to them because of the amount of business generated from it.
The Plates4less fully managed server is securely located behind a Cisco firewall, this technology protects the database from hackers and malicious activity, both externally and internally. Plates4less director comments: "If our database was to be hacked or something malicious was to happen to it, it could be catastrophic. UKFast database security and managed firewalls protect our servers, they work to maximise our network security whilst minimising any security risks."
UKFast proactively monitor for threats and incidents 24x7, so that Plates4less can concentrate on growing the business with the assurance that the site is not about to be brought to a standstill through ineffective firewalls.
Strong customer focus
Plates4less has developed a reputation for the quality of their products and total dedication to customer satisfaction. The company is keen to empower the public with all the facts, before they buy. This focus has also been applied to all of the organisation's administration processes so that customers' enquiries, transfers and any questions are satisfied as soon as possible, by experienced friendly personnel.
