THUS hosting consultants to provide free independent reviews of company web and application hosting and disaster recovery strategies

THUS plc, one of the UK's leading providers of voice, networking, Internet and contact centre services, is enabling UK businesses to save thousands of pounds in consultancy fees and costly mistakes with the launch of a free hosting consultancy service. THUS is making its senior hosting consultants available to carry out reviews of companies' web and application hosting and disaster recovery strategies, enabling them to benefit from expertise gained from hosting more than 100,000 active websites over the past 10 years through the THUS and Demon brands.

THUS's consultants can help businesses identify their key hosting requirements and ensure that these are being met effectively. For websites and hosted applications, this means increasing security as well as enhancing the user experience through better performance and greater uptime. For disaster recovery strategies it means ensuring that companies are achieving the most secure and reliable architecture possible.

Interested companies can apply for a free consultation by providing some basic details of their requirements via a web form or dedicated phone line. Once these have been processed, THUS will arrange an interview with a senior consultant who will develop a report of vendor-neutral options for a hosting solution specifically tailored to the company's objectives.

" Websites are becoming a core business tool for more and more companies and external hosting of mission critical data and applications is becoming more common. This makes hosting a central business consideration and one that companies need to think about very carefully," said Megan Firkin, Head of Hosting at THUS plc. " We are talking about very complex solutions and it can be difficult for a company to identify where they are working and where they are not. THUS's free consultancy service will enable companies to benefit from our consultants' significant expertise to ensure they have the best possible solution."
