What SimplyCloud Consulting does

Simply Hosting, legally Team Blue Internet Services UK Limited, is a UK-based server hosting and cloud services provider operating as a brand within the European team.blue Group. Its core offerings span VPS plans (XS through L, from £8.01/month), AMD Ryzen and Intel Xeon dedicated servers, Bare Metal Outlet configurations, private cloud and cloud servers, colocation, and managed add-ons including automated backups, SSL, cPanel/Plesk licensing, and load balancers. The platform is built on owned UK data centre infrastructure in Reading housing more than 8,000 servers, an in-house Magic provisioning system, and a Fabric rapid-provisioning layer that can deploy bare metal servers within one hour of order 24/7/365. Hardware is sourced through Dell and Juniper partnerships, and UK sites are powered under an SSE partnership committed to 100% renewable energy.

The company generates revenue through recurring monthly subscriptions across VPS, dedicated server, cloud, and colocation services, supplemented by managed services and a reseller programme under which partners (e.g., Point Zero Solutions) purchase and re-sell hosting to their own customers. Distribution combines a product-led self-serve e-commerce storefront (with 50% introductory promotions and a CLOUD60 cloud promotion), an enterprise direct-sales motion for bespoke private cloud and complex deployments, and a growing channel/reseller programme. The customer base spans small and medium businesses, digital agencies, IT managers seeking full root access and customisation, resellers, and a smaller set of mid-market and enterprise accounts cited in case studies (e.g., Interactive Schools, Moittry with 40+ dedicated servers, Webhost UK on a 9-year tenure).

Operationally the business holds ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications via PJR along with Cyber Essentials accreditation, supporting trust with enterprise and regulated buyers. Geographic reach is anchored in the UK with primary data centres in Reading and access, via the team.blue Group, to facilities in Italy, Canada, and Hong Kong. The GTM deliberately blends commoditised, price-led acquisition at the bottom (entry VPS and bare metal outlet) with higher-value custom deployments and reseller-supported volumes further up the stack.
