Shopsafe

Shopsafe is a comprehensive guide to online shopping set up to provide advice to consumers about how to make informed buying decisions and shop online safely.

As the starting point for thousands of online shopping trips it is essential that Shopsafe’s website is readily available. It needs to work first time, every time in order to act as an effective reference site. Shoppers also want fast access to the latest information on new online deals so speed is a key concern when it comes to running the website.

“Our web hosting solution is a key part of ensuring that this happens. It is essential that the site provides uptime, resilience and reliability. Our reputation hangs on this. If people can’t access the site they won’t keep coming back.”
Simon Crisp, Director, Shopsafe
