Why We Host

Starting out as web designers we quickly realised a significant proportion of our time was being needlessly consumed by,

• 1. working with slower hosting services
• 2. navigating various, and often convoluted, domain controls

We knew our customers had chosen their hosting services based on pricing and long feature lists, however, it turned out that most didn’t use, or know how to use, their domain control panels and fewer still needed more than a very small portion of the features their hosting providers listed to market their service.

So our next step was obvious; develop a simple hosting solution that focused only on features our customers needed and added the two critical elements that our customers weren’t getting from their current providers; domain management and high performance.

Our Solution

To better serve our customers we took the work out of owning a domain by creating a managed hosting environment at the award-winning, business class data center of one of our favourite and most reliable providers. With their leading edge technology and operations combined with Aarfie’s hands-on human management, Aarfie hosting is the ideal home for our customer’s web spaces.

In line with our “Clear. Simple. Easy.” approach, we have just one hosting plan, focusing on the features important to the people we serve. Endless email accounts, sub-domains and server control panel functions are not critical items for our customers. So we’ve reigned back these features and ramped up the ones that count.

• Reliability: top tier network with 99.9% uptime
• Speed: consistently high-performing shared environment
• Protection: daily automated domain and database backups
• Storage: unlimited1 server storage allowance
• Scalable: high-flexibility built in with customisation for specialised needs
• Low Cost: one low price with no penalties1 for increased traffic / bandwidth

Managed Hosting

“Managed hosting” means we take care of all the technical stuff. With the ability to directly set up, maintain and upgrade our customers’ domains, we can ensure the smoothest start up, swift and personal support response and optimum performance and functionality.

With managed hosting there are no server control panels. Instead, Aarfie provides the considerably more approachable method of server control; simply email Aarfie support, tell us what you need in your own words and we make it happen.
