FileZilla update sponsorship

If you are a user of remote hosted services, chances are you’ve used FileZilla at some stage in your lifetime. It is by far the world’s most popular FTP/SFTP client, used by millions of end users every day. It is a core workflow application used by system administrators in the sending and receiving of files to remote locations.

Eagle-eyed users may have already noticed our involvement with this software client. During the automated client update process, users in the UK are now presented with a message from Netwise Hosting.

We are very pleased to have the exclusive rights to this process here in the United Kingdom, with thousands of impressions every day. Uniquely, we are able to offer this space to our key clients and partners, giving fantastic exposure to targeted administrators up and down the country. Please contact us if you’d like to discuss this.

We’re very pleased to be supporting FileZilla in their operations, continuing their position as the number one FTP/SFTP client globally.

Our blog has a new look

Change is abound at Netwise Hosting this month. Our new website went live this morning, and with it comes a new simplified blog which keeps things clean, minimalist and above all else, user friendly.

This blog is now set to become our go-to resource for company news, events information, and any other news and articles which relate to our business and our operations. Along with our monthly newsletter, our blog will become a working information source for all those interested in a behind-the-scenes look at one of the UK’s premier data centre operators.

If you have any questions about the new website, the new look blog, or have any bugs that you’d like to report following the switch-over, please do get in touch with our team.

This post signifies the end of our regular build blog series. Whilst the site will always have on-going works, particularly as new modules of the facility come online, the initial build can now be considered complete.

As such, we will now only put up new build blog posts during specific projects, or at the end of further system installations, to give our readers an insight into new developments.

We thank all of our avid readers for following the project – it has been a very long and at times difficult task, but our London Central site is now online and operating at full steam!
