By working together with NoteBooks UK, we have created an opportunity to set up our own data centre for hosting our client’s websites.

NoteBooks UK were already running their own data centre for their VOIP clients, however, since our move into the same building, we have taken the offer to a new level.

New Data centre runs on:

Cisco® Quad Xeon processor based servers, with fully redundant NAS arrays on fibre channel storage, with a redundant server, fully mirrored, on a separate fibre based OC3 (155.2 Mbit connection). This facility is backed by a fully switched N+1 power and data infrastructure, and mirrored to equipment in London's docklands, Marsh Wall Data Centre, managed by Redbus Interhouse, NL.

Our new servers only host our clients, we don’t offer hosting as a separate package. This ensures that websites running on the server have efficient programming and that their response time is instant.

We are now offering award vouchers to our clients who refer us to their friends and family. Vouchers can be used in Notebooks UK for computer repairs, purchasing a new laptop, free VOIP calls, or you can spend it on your website maintenance.

Prosper Web Solutions is now working together with Russian web agencies. This will lower costs and speed up production without sacrificing any product quality. In the web development business it is important to develop exactly what the client wants within a realistic time scale and reasonable costs.

In an increasingly technological marketplace, many new web development companies are emerging. Quality assurance, however, remains an issue with the publishing of web based information. Prosper Web Solutions believe that the standard of written English on the internet should be equal to that of other media. In our aim to provide your visitors with an enjoyable experience we offer an in-depth proofreading service to eradicate errors that may distract the reader from the information provided.

Who needs stunning web design and amazing marketing strategy when your customers can't read your content?

We have now completed building the online Book Ordering System for the Gloucestershire College Libraries. The web-based system allows teaching staff to order library books for their students and track the progress of the orders, increasing accessibility to college resources and improving inter-departmental communication processes. The system took 2 months of production and is one of the most advanced systems ever programmed by Prosper.

After gaining many more clients this year, Prosper is looking to expand its server architecture. We will be moving from Linux Servers to Windows Server 2003. After examination of recent changes in the market we have decided to use ASP.NET framework 2.0.

"This will improve our business productivity and allows us to work on projects at a faster rate" - Zan Kavtaskin

We will still be working with PHP and will continue supporting our clients that use PHP technologies. The move is planned for this winter.
