UK Enterprise Awards 2021

307 | UK Enterprise Awards 2021 Best Web Hosting Services Provider - Greater Manchester Building a business can be an exciting time, but it can also be daunting. Being an expert in your product or service area doesn’t necessarily mean you’re aware of what it takes to make your business run behind the scenes. A domain name, a hosted website, a business email, a reliable infrastructure, and compliance with regulations are all essential to running most businesses today. Based in Manchester, CritchCorp Computers Ltd has been helping their clients to navigate the technology world since 2006. The company began as a reseller but quickly saw the value of offering a hosting environment that they could control and administer themselves. This meant they were able to build servers to accommodate their clients’ needs, helping them to stand out in the marketplace. Today, CritchCorp offers a wealth of managed and self-managed services to all types of businesses all over the world: Working from home has become extremely popular in recent times with more workers than ever being home-based. CritchCorp noticed that during the pandemic many people signed up for domain names and hosting but then didn’t know where to go from there. The company is dedicated to helping new companies make the most out of their technology investment. The businesses they’ve helped with their setup have gotten off to a flying start. The firm offers a range of ready-made Remote Working packages to buy off-the-shelf that make the set-up process simple, easy to budget and most importantly, worry-free. Packages include offerings such as Outlook email, mobile access, Share Point, Archiving and Skype for Business wrapped up in a neat bundle. VPN services that provide users with a secure, fast and private internet connection are growing in popularity too. The company currently offers this service to their subscribers in over 30 countries worldwide. It is now the sole controller of its own product, SimpleVPN, and has been able to pass on cost savings to new and existing customers alike. Hosting its own web services means that CritchCorp is also able to offer clients a server monitoring service. Ensuring that issues are identified and dealt with as they occur gives clients added peace of mind. Again, the company provides packages tailored to the specific needs of each client. One of the key strengths of CritchCorp is that it has an intricate understanding of data protection regulations in the UK and Europe.
