Companies without websites are jeopardising their future claims experts
 UKHost4u has this month warned British businesses that their reluctance to embrace the internet could have serious consequences as more and more people reject the high street in favour of online shopping.

 

UKHost4u is a website hosting company based in Scotland. They lead the way in the UK for web hosting, hosting thousands of British websites. While they’ve helped many businesses to get online and increase their turnover they argue that a lot of companies are losing out because of a mistaken belief that the internet isn’t relevant to their products or services. A spokesperson for the company said:

 

“There are lots of companies out there who are really struggling at the moment, particularly with the ongoing decline of the high street, but rather than embrace new technologies and opportunities some remain stubborn and refrain from creating a website because they haven’t been convinced of the numerous opportunities that there are online – especially businesses who only operate on a local basis.

 

“However, there have been a lot of changes to how search engines work in recent years. There’s never been as much emphasis on localised search results as there is today, which is fantastic news for websites of businesses who provide a local service. No matter how big or small you are, or whether you offer your services locally or throughout the UK, having a website could provide you with tremendous benefits in this day and age.”

 

One of the most significant changes to the internet according to UKHost4u is the rise of smartphones and tablets.

 

“Statistics show that the UK is a world leader when it comes to internet shopping and internet use and that’s been helped by in large by the introduction of smartphones and tablets. Statistics show that the overwhelming majority of Britons are online and that most of them will browse the internet to find shops and services – and that’s true even if they’re looking for somebody local!

 

“Even if your company is going well at the moment, if you don’t have a website you could be jeopardising the health of your business in the long term, hence why millions of companies from corner shops to supermarkets are already online.”

 

UKHost4u specialise in website creation and hosting. Their services are famous amongst British businesses for high quality, reliable uptime and helpful customer service at fantastic prices. They provide web hosting, cloud VPS (Virtual Private Servers), dedicated servers, reseller hosting and a web site builder package amongst others.
