Affordable and Secure Hosting

Shared hosting provides significant cost savings by utilising a public cloud to store your data, maximising the use of resources and improving data accessibility and performance.

Our ISO27001-certified hosting solution ensures that your data is protected with robust security protocols, often providing even better protection than on-site storage.

Many of our customers leverage shared storage for a variety of uses, such as shared file storage. This allows teams both in the office and working remotely to access data securely and efficiently.

Hosted Desktop

Flexibility and Accessibility

Our hosted desktop services provide the ultimate flexibility for your business. Whether you're working from home, in a café, or traveling, you can access your entire desktop environment from any device with an internet connection. It’s like having your office computer in the cloud, allowing you to work productively no matter where you are.

We also ensure your data is stored securely, with advanced encryption and data protection measures in place to safeguard your business from cyber threats. It’s a perfect solution for businesses with remote teams, mobile workers, or those looking to reduce their reliance on physical hardware.

Flexible Application Hosting Solutions

At Northstar, we offer flexible hosting solutions that cater to both hosting applications for internal users and delivering services to customers. If your software company or in-house development team is currently using in-house servers, moving to the cloud or a dedicated server in a UK data centre can be a more cost-effective and efficient option. It also gives you the option to scale at pace when you grow.

Amazon Web Services is a popular choice for development companies but if you lack the expertise to conduct the infrastructure management and security yourself Northstar can help. Our Managed Hosting solutions include support, cyber security risk management, backup and disaster recovery.

We can even provide IT support for your customers with our dedicated IT Service Desk service.

Frequently Asked Questions About IT Support

Question 1: Why should I outsource my IT?

Outsourcing IT provides access to specialist expertise and services at a fraction of the cost of hiring in-house staff. It also offers defined service levels, ensuring you get the support you need efficiently and cost-effectively.

Question 2: What IT services can I outsource?

You can outsource a wide range of IT functions, including helpdesk support, server maintenance, email management, IT security, network management, and more. From hardware to software, on-premises or in the cloud, outsourcing covers it all.

Question 3: Will I lose control over my IT if I outsource?

No, outsourcing doesn’t mean losing control. You'll receive regular service reports, have access to monitoring tools, and a dedicated account manager to ensure everything runs smoothly. A Service Level Agreement (SLA) defines clear expectations and commitments.

Question 4: Will outsourcing save me money?

Yes, outsourcing can lead to significant cost savings. It reduces the need for full-time in-house staff and allows you to access services on-demand, optimising IT costs. Over the medium to long term, outsourcing often proves more cost-effective while enhancing service levels.
