mmt // new media
Industry: New Media Services Consultancy
Solution: Dedicated
 Originally a parttime partnership in 1995 authoring and producing CD-ROMs for A-Level students and schools, MMT New Media today supply over 5,000 organisations across the UK with their Self-Assessment format CDs.
"Specifically, we use Hostway’s services to power our content management system ‘RearView’, and for support of bespoke web applications that use the .NET Framework. We work in partnership either directly with the client or via other Agencies in order to provide an optimum level of service."
" Our technical and creative director had been looking for a far more professional and stable platform than the one offered at the time by our previous supplier, and was incredibly impressed by the speed and stability of their network and servers, as well as their approach to customer service. We provide a wide range of services which means we need a flexible provider with whom we could set-up anything - from multiple shared hosting accounts to dedicated servers - all with the accessibility of a control panel from which we can centrally access all of our hosting accounts."
" Hostway provide us with an excellent service, maintaining our server extremely efficiently, with very little downtime or any other issues. Hostway, as they are now, have managed to boost the company without taking away too much of the UK-oriented, personal feel and are constantly updating their software. The support team are knowledgeable and, unlike our previous suppliers, don’t immediately assume the customer is doing something wrong. We have a very good working relationship with the account managers who are friendly and knowledgeable."

Quantic Designs
Industry: Web, New Media & Design Services
Solution: Hostway Shared Reseller
 Based in Scotland, Quantic are an amalgamation of designers and developers who have a passion for the work they produce as well as a desire to present streamlined, customised solutions for their clients.
"We found out about Hostway through word of mouth, which in hindsight is not surprising given their superb customer relations, prompt technical support and general reliability. When we select hosting accounts for our clients we look for a number of factors - naturally uptime is a big consideration, and so is the availability of good technical support."
" Most of our clients are based upon long term relationships so as their businesses and online requirements grow we require the freedom to upgrade and enhance hosting packages further down the line, without having to stop and start a new service. Hostway provide all of this for us and with their extensive feature list - including streaming media, secure hosting and the flexibilty to install custom ColdFusion tags - we know that both Quantic and its clients enjoy 'future-proof' hosting."

UntiedShoes
Industry: Web, New Media & Design Services
Solution: Dedicated
 Started by Craig Richards, way back in 1999, UntiedShoes is a freelance web design, web development, new media design and development company based in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, UK, up in the North East of England. UntiedShoes specialises in standards compliant web site design and development, graphic design, programming, usability testing and project management.
" To run a reliable web site you need to run on reliable servers. Hostway supplies me with these such servers, enabling me to refer clients with the knowledge that they will in no way be dissatisfied with the support and service they will receive. This is paramount in my business, If I refer my clients to a host that does not deliver what is said in their literature, this reflects badly on me as a business."
"I moved to Hostway earlier this year (2005) after being with my old host for over 3... I surely won't be going back! If I needed support in any way, I would have an extremely long phone call to a support engineer, then they would pass me on to someone else and so on.. the problem would eventually get fixed, but the time period was not acceptable. I also referred clients to my old host and as with me, they also had problems and as said, this reflects badly on me because when a client was having problems, I would get the brunt of it!"
" Hostway, have solved all of the problems I used to have, your support is fantastic, no matter what time of day and to be honest, I don't find your prices bad at all.... after all, cheapest isn't always best! I am that please with Hostways service and products, I even advertise you on my site and email footers!!"

PC Prices UK
Industry: Component Price Comparison Directory
Solution: Windows 2003 Web Hosting
PC Prices UK is a price-comparison website aimed at computer related products, such as components, software, PDA’s, Digital cameras and games and is now one of the largest computer related price-comparison sites in the UK.
"I came across Hostway and they were number one in the charts for hosting companies. As I knew this was a prestigious place to be on this website especially, I thought I would look further into Hostway’s products and services. After looking through Hostway’s different packages, I chose the Windows Gold Plus package at £19.95 (ex VAT). After looking at a few of Hostway’s competitors, this price couldn’t be beaten and I was soon to learn their service couldn’t as well."
" Once the account was setup, I was keen to get the site uploaded and open to the public. SiteControl easily let me add new email accounts, setup up an FTP account and let me keep a tab on the traffic my site was attracting. I’ve only had to ring technical support once, which I think is truly amazing, and when I had to do that my website was back up and running within 5 minutes, thanks to the top notch support staff."

Industry: Unique Fabric Accessories & Gifts online
Solution: Ecommerce Web Hosting
Cheltenham based company Rosablue is a one-stop shop for unique, personalised, hand-made accessories & gifts. Their online store is a customised version of Hostway's Merchant Manager ecommerce system.
"It (Merchant Manager) proved a good out-of-the-box solution for a new enterprise without sophisticated in-house infrastructure. We did not have a product database to begin with yet it was straight-forward to set up our trading space. And when we did come across issues, the support personnel did a good job of providing a solution. As we would hope, it has improved over time and it is reassuring as a start-up customer, to find a company implementing continuous improvements."
