HA Website Hosting Company Records Best Financial Year

A YORK-based managed website hosting company had its best year since its inception in 2008.

HA has experienced substantial growth over the past 12 months, including a 14 percent increase in revenue.

With the pandemic intensifying the need for online services, the demand for HA’s expertise has increased. The company specializes in fully managed hosting, providing 24/7 support to ensure customer websites and digital applications run efficiently, securely and are never offline.

Ecommerce sites have seen one of the fastest growths, with many small businesses moving online to resist Covid restrictions.

Founder Nick Bascombe-Fox said HA has recruited new staff to keep up with the demand, and renamed the brand to reflect how the business has changed and grown.

He said: “Last year has been one of the busiest but most interesting years that I have seen since our inception 13 years ago.

“The pandemic has meant that we have seen a real change in the way people behave online. As a small business, to survive in today’s climate, you need to have an online presence.

“Not only do you need a website, it also needs to run fast and efficiently, be secure, and always be active. With increasing online competition, even if your website is only down for a few hours, it can have significant consequences for your business.

“At HA, we provide a fully managed hosting service where our customers only speak to the support engineers, which means that, rather than handing the technical responsibility to our customers, our dedicated team takes on this role for themselves. ensure that online businesses are maintained and functioning. ”

He added: “We have come such a long way in the past 13 years, but recruiting new employees and updating our brand image has made a real difference. It is important to me that our brand reflects who we are and what we have accomplished over the past few years, as well as what we stand for.
