Alongside provision of raw stats we are also able to perform statistical analysis in order to identify key performance issues and areas for potential improvement.

We are willing and able to handle all aspects of project management including timescales and time management, internal and external communication, acquisition of materials, meetings and code reviews and progress reports and paperwork.

Domains and Hosting

Domain Registration

Registration of one or more domain names for your website such as .com, .co.uk, .org and .net. We can advise you as to the available options and check availability of suitable domain names.

Domain Transfer

If you already own a domain but wish to transfer away from your current registrar, we can assist you with this. We can assume control and management of the domain on your behalf which is strongly recommended should you be hosting a website with us.

Shared Hosting

A cost effective alternative to private hosting, only suitable for websites with a small file footprint that are expected to receive a manageable amount of monthly traffic.

Dedicated Hosting

A powerful hosting package which utilises a dedicated server to achieve added stability and performance over shared hosting. Dedicated hosting is suitable for medium to large websites and grants performance increases and faster transfer speeds with the addition of a greater level of control over server setup and configuration.

Private Dedicated Hosting

Private Dedicated Hosting offers the same benefits as dedicated hosting combined with sole use of the server; this guarantees 100% of server resources will be available to your site(s). This package is recommended for Enterprise level websites which are expected to need a significant portion of server resources at any one time or where significant growth is expected.

We believe it is important for every aspect of your businesses identity to be speaking the same language, having S8 Design develop traditional marketing alongside your web presence gives your business a single, unified voice with which to speak to your customers.
