Why Frubie?

Well, Frubie was started after a long fruitless search for affordable hosting with no strings. We pride our selves in our service and quality of hosting. What ever you want, we can provide. If you need help, we can offer it. If you need a domain, we can register it and we give you all the details so you remain in complete control.

We offer  web-hosting only to known clients or those recommended by trusted associates; principally, small businesses and low-bandwidth customers, with very few exceptions. We believe and strive in providing a strong personal service to our customers, to maximise their benefits and meet their expectations, then maintain those relationships long-term.

What are our priorities? Well, one of the most fundamental objectives of these types of client is RELIABILITY — it's as simple as that! Everyone likes affordability too — the problem with finding an ultra-reliable hosting package is that they're mostly very expensive. Why? 99.995% uptime (as close to the perfect optimum as one may sensibly expect without using mirrored servers) requires a web server of top-quality and one that is not shared with any other hosting companies or unknown end-users — we have our own dedicated servers exclusively for our customers, fully managed 24/7/365 by our staff and the datacentre technical support team. Additionally, we protect our customers' data by backing up their accounts to remote hardware, both nightly and additionally, a separate weekly schedule on a 4-week rotation, i.e. at least 4 sets of backups of your valuable data at any given moment and 5 in total.

How many providers do you know who take that much care? It's one thing to have security against downtime (by using fully-redundant hardware systems), but who can honestly say they have never deleted an important file and come to regret that no data backups were in place? It matters not that the server is still running when a key file is missing in your web account and YOU were responsible! We've got you covered ...

Furthermore, sensible use of bandwidth and load spreading, along with our policy of refusing to allow any known resource-hungry websites to be hosted, e.g. no Warez; no Bit Torrents; no Anime; no ROMs & Emulators; no IRC, no streaming; no commercial Bulk advertising (SPAM) etc. All of these exclusions help to maintain optimum reliability and uptime!

In respect of affordable WebHosting packages, we strongly believe that there's no such thing as unlimited resources like disk space, bandwidth, email accounts, databases etc., whereas we do believe that we offer generous and feasible solutions, ALWAYS well-within the capabilities of each web server, with huge overheads of bandwidth available should your traffic levels go ballistic! All packages are bespoke — what you need, when you need it, unless you're simply far too big to fit our particular business model — in our case, small(ish) but perfect is the most desirable combination! :)

What ever you want, we will try our very best to provide.
