Hello everyone

brithosterbrithoster Hosting Provider
edited March 8 in General

Good morning,

I hope you are all well?

I just wanted to do a post to introduce myself here, I am Luke, MD of Brit Hoster. We're a new company launched by myself and my wife.

I want to be a part of the community here and will assist where I can with any issues people may come in to technically or otherwise :)

Mod Note: This is an introduction thread for a member that has requested a provider tag.

    Hmm... a bit too much copy and paste for my taste:

    If you have any questions or concerns about these Terms, please contact us at [Your Contact Email].

    Refunds will be processed according to our refund policy, which is available on our website.

    Where exactly would I find that?

    Thank you.

    Yes in time we intend to offer VPS, we just want to start getting the ball rolling initially and the next phase will be a rollout of virtual machines :)

    Sounds good to me, my fridge is always full - just not of any alcohol - I'm a Yorkshire Gold drinker.

    That is a blast from the past, I was very young back then maybe 15 or 16?

    I've been in and around the hosting industry for a little while, main issue I have had (being completely transparent) was funding to keep things rolling. Fortunately this time I've got an investment company on board (can be seen at Companies House).

    From running providers previously to helping out as a freelance SysAdmin I've got plenty of years of experience.

    I promised myself to get a link from AS174 just to mess with him

    Haha - no offence taken don't worry.

    In terms of what I bring to the pub - the main difference is support - I know it's easy to say but a genuine 24h around the clock and so far (granted we are new) ticket response times are under 5 minutes - intention is to keep it that way too! I also know that as we scale that will not be as simple.

    I'm looking at introducing VPS in the near future too.
