Hosting for Sheffield businesses
Sheffield is the Steel City. Its cutlers and steelmakers made it famous worldwide, and stainless steel was developed here by Harry Brearley in 1913. Heavy industry shrank sharply in the 1980s, but making things never left. The Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, run by the University of Sheffield on the edge of the city, works with major aerospace and engineering firms, and companies such as Boeing and McLaren have set up production nearby. Hundreds of smaller toolmakers, forges, cutlers and engineering suppliers still trade from the city.
The city has two large universities, the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam, and a busy independent and creative scene in Kelham Island, the Cultural Industries Quarter and on streets such as Division Street and Abbeydale Road. Around a third of Sheffield lies inside the Peak District National Park, which supports outdoor shops, climbing walls, guides and cafés that market themselves to visitors online.
A Sheffield cutler selling direct, a climbing business taking bookings or an engineering supplier sending buyers to its specs all need hosting that just works. dijitul is a neighbour, based in north Nottinghamshire, and handles migration, updates, SSL and daily backups for a single price.
