Is your web site important to you? Is your business becoming dependent on e-commerce? Worried about sharing a server with dozens of other sites? Perhaps it’s time to get your own web server?

It seems clear that having spent so much time, effort and money on your e-commerce web site, neglecting Internet hosting would be unwise. An entire web server for your sole use gives you excellent reliability, maximum performance and remarkable flexibility. Unlike a shared web server, you are free to do whatever you want to make your web site great.

Your own web server is one thing but it has to be connected to the Net. TWF Internet provides top-quality Unix servers located in a specially designed IT centre in London’s Docklands. Our servers are housed in a ‘neutral facility’, this is a building that is not owned by any one ISP but is shared by dozens of services provides and telecoms companies. It means that, unlike placing your site with a single ISP, our servers are connected to many backbone service providers. This ensures unprecedented reliability and performance.

TWF Internet servers run the Linux operating system not Windows NT or 2000. Linux is a well-respected and widely used platform for web servers. It is extremely reliable yet flexible and powerful. Our Linux servers routinely run for more than a year at a time without interruption.

If you’re concerned about the complexity of Unix or don’t know anything about Linux….. Don’t worry. Our service includes complete technical support and remote administration. We will work with you or your web designer to ensure that your site does exactly what you want and is reliable and secure.

No other supplier can provide such a complete and well-supported managed Linux solution as TWF Internet can.
