"Many of our clients purchase cover outside standard office hours so it's paramount that the site is available at all times. Insurance is the kind of thing people lie awake thinking about, so we have to guarantee availability at 3am in case they need us. After one meeting with UKFast, we felt safe."
"Their passionate support team is on hand 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year and is totally clued up, not only about our server but our business too. It makes a refreshing change to deal with people who care rather than faceless organisations."
"Their reliability is second-to-none. UKFast is a top class ISP, and one that I would definitely recommend."

Printerland
Industry: Printer and print accessories supplier
Solution: Managed dedicated server solution - multi-server load balancing & total cover
Printerland has carved a niche in the B2B market offering a huge range of printer solutions to all size businesses. The online catalogue includes colour printers, mono printers, dot-matrix printers, fax-machines, accessories, media and consumables.
While hosted by a previous ISP, Printerland experienced a drop in web sales in summer 2005. The team discovered the servers were running so slowly that enquiries timed out before orders could be placed. Periods of downtime also contributed to the decision to find a new provider.
"We discovered UKFast through word of mouth and were delighted by their efficiency. Within days the site was functioning better than ever. And with their Linux expertise, I'm confident that I have a direct line to their experts should I need it. You can't ask for more than that."

Sale Sharks
Industry: Rugby Union
Solution: High performance dedicated server
Sale Sharks are a professional rugby union team who play in England in the Guinness Premiership. Nowadays the Sharks play in front of five figure crowds at Edgeley Park. On the field are many of Rugby Union's most celebrated players including Jason Robinson, Charlie Hodgson, Mark Cueto, Andrew Sheridan and Sebastian Chabal.
In 2005-6, Sale became the only team in history to finish at the top of the Guinness Premiership and go on to win the play off final at Twickenham. Now firmly in the Premiership's elite, they continue to work with UKFast to keep their website at the top of the online league.
"Our fans are fanatical about rugby and they love the website. They expect it to be constantly up-to-date with the latest news and results. It has to be always available, even at two in the morning. They won't accept anything less."
"The tech team monitor and predict our bandwidth so we are never in danger of overloading the server. At Twickenham in May 2006, UKFast were with us, in the crowd and the office. When the final whistle blew, our web server was ready for the onslaught. This kind of personal service is typical of UKFast's customer care."
"The website is now a very valuable tool for our business. We take more money over the Internet than we ever imagined and UKFast's continual vision gives us the confidence to keep developing this winning formula. Their after sales service is quite simply second to none."
