Most businesses commence their IT journey with a few email accounts, a domain name registration (for the company website URL) and a simple website. As that website builds around a data base server and the data base management or online payment portal become more mission critical for your company, so does the decision to outsource part or all of your information technology investment. Business web hosting and hosted application services are now mission critical for your business.

Application and Software-as-a-Service Hosting (including ASP Hosting, Microsoft Azure Hosting)
Many small businesses commence using software that is hosted by others, especially for hosted email such as hosted Microsoft Exchange. Later, you may decide to host your own software and provide it as a service to your staff, suppliers, customers or other companies. We are expert in this arena of supporting software-as-a-service or SaaS hosting. (For some of our customers, this commenced with Application Service Providers (or ASPs) but the world of technology has moved on, and newer services are far more effective and frankly much more competitively priced).
Microsoft have just commenced offering their Azure Cloud Hosting service out of Singapore and the USA and we will recommend their service for particular types of hosting particularly SaaS services in the USA or Europe where internet latency must be the minimum possible for good service on other Continents.
