UK2.net, a UK-based provider of services including cloud hosting, reseller hosting, ecommerce solutions, VPS hosting and dedicated servers, has joined up with the not-for-profit Start Up Loans project to provide free web hosting to new businesses.
Supported by the government, Start Up Loans offers reliable loans to entrepreneurs and new businesses. Last year, the organization lent more than £71 million to over 14,000 new companies.
Start Up Loans also provides access to mentoring services for new companies, from business titans like Virgin and experts like the Prince’s Trust. UK2 will add to the resources provided to new businesses by offering free website hosting services for six months and then deep discounts thereafter.
UK2 joins a select group of other partners, like legal advisors and insurance providers, who are also trying to make life easier for start-up businesses. For its part of the partnership, UK2 has created a special web hosting offering, designed to help new businesses get their websites and other online essentials off the ground.
Free web hosting package
The UK2 deal starts off by offering Start Up Loans recipients a complementary web hosting package for six-months. It goes on to give 50 percent off a two-year web hosting plan if the business wants to continue running their web presence through UK2. New businesses will be eligible for the UK2’s deal as soon as their application for their start-up loan has been approved.
UK2.net is the founding member of the UK2 Group, a group of interconnected global and UK web hosting companies that operate independently whilst sharing knowledge, expertise and resources. The group provides a variety of services including domain names, email hosting, shared web hosting, cloud hosting, reseller hosting, ecommerce solutions, VPS hosting and dedicated servers to individuals and businesses.
