New Windows web hosting service now live	We have recently completed the delivery of a replacement hosting service (Windows-based) that updates the existing infrastructure and introduces new management software for site owners and service administrators. The service has been updated with new servers - these should provide a more reliable and improved service - that will host the websites and any related databases. The new software that has been introduced to the service (Plesk) is a control panel application that will enhance site management through a user interface.	David Watters	27-Jul-2015
