From supporting a multi-industry client base with hosting services, we’ve come to understand the many challenges organisations face when it comes to selecting the right hosting provider to match business need. The selection process to find the perfect solution can be overwhelming, with a wide range of factors to consider, each carrying significant implications for performance, security, and long-term scalability.
At PDS we know that every organisation demands a stable, secure, and high-performing website. We also recognise that finding the right hosting solution to fulfil this demand can be a bit of a minefield to navigate.
From unpredictable costs to unexpected downtime and impersonal support, at PDS we take a consultative approach to discovering what your hosting pain-points are and then finding your organisation a tailored solution that perfectly fits your unique business requirements now, and for the future.
Here are some of the most common challenges our clients face when talking to us about their hosting set-up.
Many organisations struggle with fluctuating and unpredictable hosting expenses when using hyperscalers like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. These cloud providers typically offer pricing models based on usage, which means costs can vary significantly from month to month depending on factors like data traffic, resource consumption, and scaling needs. For organisations without clear visibility into these variable costs, this can lead to budget overruns and financial uncertainty, making it difficult to plan for long-term expenses. Couple with complex pricing is over-specification which can result in businesses paying for resources they don’t fully utilise or understand.
With PDS, you benefit from fixed pricing that delivers 30% on average cost savings, giving your organisation more financial predictability.
We’ve all experienced the knee-jerk panic when a website goes down. Whether it’s a brief outage or a prolonged disruption, the impact can be significant: lost revenue, frustrated customers, and operational slowdowns that cause ripple effects across your entire business. Every minutes of downtime can erode customer trust and your damage brand reputation.
At PDS our reliability-first approach ensures you have a plan in place to mitigate downtime risks.
Many traditional hosting solutions lack built-in failover protection, leaving websites and organisations exposed to unexpected outages. Without a proper failover system in place, a single point of failure, whether it’s a server crash, network issue, or hardware malfunction can bring your website down, causing operational disruption, financial loss, and a negative customer experience.
PDS provides high-availability infrastructure with built-in redundancy, minimising disruptions and keeping your website online.
Standard hosting solutions can often fall short when it comes to speed, security, and overall performance. Many off-the-shelf solutions lack the optimisations necessary to handle high traffic loads, prevent cyber threats, and ensure seamless user experiences. Without proactive measures in place, organisations may face slow website speeds, security vulnerabilities, and unexpected downtime—ultimately impacting customer satisfaction and revenue.
At PDS, our enterprise-grade hosting includes proactive monitoring, security safeguards, and optimised performance tailored to your needs.

With large hyperscale cloud providers a personalised approach to support can often be elusive. Many organisations find themselves navigating complex automated systems, waiting in long support queues, or dealing with generic responses that don’t fully address their unique challenges. When time is critical, and you need immediate assistance, this lack of hands-on support can lead to frustration, delays, and operational setbacks.
At PDS, we pride ourselves on our service and reputation to deliver dedicated, hands-on support, ensuring you always have an expert ready to assist.
At PDS, we help organisations across industries overcome their hosting challenges with fixed pricing, high availability, and hands-on support.
