Web Wiz Celebrates 25 Years

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 09:49:01 +0000

Web Wiz turns 25! Launched as Web Wiz Guide on the 3rd of September 2001, and incorporated as Web Wiz Ltd in 2006, this year marks a double milestone for us.

What began as a site offering free web applications, including Web Wiz Forums, used on websites around the world, grew into a full Windows hosting provider. Today we offer everything from web hosting to Hyper-V virtual servers, dedicated servers and colocation, all running in our own UK data centre, something very few hosting companies can say.

Key Highlights from 25 Years:

Our Own Data Centre: Online since 2018, owned and run by us, delivering rock solid reliability that outperforms many of the world's largest cloud providers.

Green Hosting: Powered by solar energy with battery storage.

Built In-House: From the network to our email platform and new spam filtering, everything is managed by our own engineers.

Security First: Cyber Essentials Certified, protecting your data to UK government standards.

UK Based and Independent: Still independently owned and operated after 25 years.

A huge thank you to all our customers for your continued support. Here's to the next 25 years!

Improved Spam Filtering for Shared Hosting

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 12:03:23 +0000

We are excited to announce a major upgrade to the spam filtering across our shared hosting mail platform, delivering stronger protection against spam while keeping the emails that matter exactly where they belong: in your inbox.

Key Highlights:
Powerful New Filtering Engine: Built on Rspamd and running on our own UK infrastructure, giving us complete control over how your mail is protected.
Enhanced Threat Intelligence: New real-time reputation feeds from Abusix and Spam Eating Monkey, catching emerging spam campaigns as they emerge.
Fewer False Positives: Mail from banks, government services and trusted retailers is now safeguarded, so genuine business email reaches you.
Smarter Learning: Our filters are continually trained on real traffic from our own network, tuned against weeks of live data rather than generic defaults.
Clearer Warnings: Suspected spam is now marked at two levels, so you can see at a glance how suspicious a message really is.

With this upgrade, our customers benefit from cleaner inboxes, fewer missed emails and email protection built and maintained in-house by our own engineers, not outsourced to a third party.

Every mailbox on our shared hosting is protected by this filtering as standard. For more information, please see Windows ASP.NET Web Hosting.
