What is a server?

Wondering what a server actually is for a business, or whether you even need one? No jargon, we promise - here's the simplest way to think about it.

Simply put, servers are computers that "serve" information over to other computers. Whenever you browse the web, you're accessing a server that "serves" you the information you asked for.

In a business, a server sits at the centre of your network and does the same job in-house - storing your files, running shared software and keeping everyone connected to the same, up-to-date information.

Instead of important files living on one person's computer, they live on the server, where everyone who needs them can reach them, they're backed up properly, and they don't disappear if a single machine fails.

One Central Hub

Your files, software and backups in one place, reachable by every computer that needs them, and looked after properly.

What a server can do for your business

A single server can quietly take care of a surprising amount. Here are some of the jobs one might do for you.

Shared File Storage

Keep all your documents in one central place, so the whole team works from the same files rather than scattered copies.

Reliable Backups

Your business data backed up automatically, so a lost laptop or a failed hard drive never means lost work.

Business Software

Run the shared applications your business relies on - accounts, databases and line-of-business systems - in one place.

Central Security

Manage user accounts, permissions and access from one place, so the right people reach the right things, and no one else.

We also offer server monitoring

A server does its best work when someone's keeping an eye on it. That's why we offer a server monitoring service that watches your server around the clock, so small problems get caught before they become big ones.

Our team of experts monitor a whole host of things, including possible hardware failures, the speed of your server, your backups, and much more - and step in the moment something needs attention.

Set Up & Supported

We deliver it, set it up, connect it to your network and hand it over working, with monitoring and support behind it if you want them.

You get an engineer, not a spec sheet

Buying a server online, you're left to decode processors, RAID arrays and storage tiers on your own. Buying through us, the same team that recommends the server is the team that sets it up and looks after it afterwards.

  • Honest advice on whether a server is even the right move
  • Specified around your business, not an off-the-shelf guess
  • Trade pricing across the major server brands
  • Delivered, set up and connected to your network
  • Optional 24/7 monitoring to catch problems early
  • One point of contact when something needs looking at

One server for a small office, or several across multiple sites, the approach doesn't change.

Server buying questions

The things businesses ask us most before adding a server.

Does my business actually need a server?
Not every business does, and we'll tell you honestly. If your team shares a lot of files, runs its own software, or you want proper central backups and control, a server usually pays for itself. If not, cloud services may suit you better, and we're happy to point you that way.
What's the difference between a server and just using the cloud?
A server sits in your office and gives you full control over your data and how fast you can reach it. The cloud puts that same capability online, managed by someone else. Both are valid - it depends on your setup, your internet connection and your budget. Read more on our Cloud page, or ask us and we'll advise.
How much does a server cost?
It depends entirely on what you need it to do and how many people rely on it. Rather than quote a meaningless figure, we'll work out the right specification for your business and give you a clear, itemised price for the server and any setup or monitoring.
Will you set the server up for us?
Yes. We deliver it, set it up, connect it to your network and your computers, move your data across where needed, and hand it over working. You don't need to touch a thing.
What does the monitoring service actually watch?
A whole host of things - possible hardware failures, the speed and health of the server, whether your backups are running properly, and much more. If something looks like it's heading for trouble, we know about it and can act before it affects you. Find out more here.
Do I need to be an existing customer?
No. We supply and set up servers for businesses whether or not they've worked with us before. Plenty of customers come to us for a server first and stay for the support afterwards.
