‘Tis the season for shutting the curtains at 3 and turning on ‘do not disturb’.

It's almost here, which film are you choosing to wrap up with?

This week we moved into our brand new state-of-the-art offices at The Forum Digital in the heart of Gloucester. It's been fantastic to welcome our ~200 Gloucester-based IONOS & Fasthosts staff to their new workspace and finally have everyone under one roof. It's no exaggeration to say this is the best office I've had the privilege to work in, and I'm looking forward to our 'official' launch in January. Huge credit to the project team for delivering above expectations and managing this site migration so seamlessly. A great early Xmas present for all our hard-working teams.

Ah December! The month of festive cheer, new year preparations, and… cold and flu 😷🤧 But your physical health may not be the only thing taking a knock this Christmas. Discover our top tips for digital winter wellness, plus all of the goings on at Fasthosts HQ, in The Monthly Serve ⬇️

The tree was heavily laden with ornaments and lights. Glitter and tinsel twinkled from every corner of the office and secret Santas had been chosen. Someone (perhaps the Campaign Executive in the Santa hat) had convinced their boss to allow a Christmas playlist, so Michael Buble’s dulcet tones could be heard down the corridors. The HR office was a completely different story. Panic was setting in, as the Christmas party was rapidly approaching and invites were yet to be sent out. A venue had been booked, a menu decided and a theme selected, but at this point no one was going to show up! “Just write an email and send it!” “That’s not festive enough.” “Get the design team to make something.” “They don’t have time.” “Then you make something!” “I can’t draw!” This back and forth continued, with seemingly no end in sight. That was until a manager wandered in, looking for some holiday booking advice. “What’s with all the shouting?!” “The Christmas party is only a few weeks away and we haven’t sent out an invite. I can’t draw and the designers are too busy.” The manager chuckled, “Why aren’t you using Website Builder. Create an RSVP form, add some Christmas trees and you’re good to go! No designers or devs involved.” Silence. “Oh… Why didn’t we think of that?” ~ Don’t let Christmas plans get you in a tizzy. Get set for your festive plans, start a new hobby over the holiday season or finally put that business plan into action with our easy-to-use Website Builder. And if you’re looking to set up an online shop, our Ecommerce Website Builder can help you do just that! No designers, no devs – just simple templates, customisable themes and 24/7 support from our team of experts!

We do actually have a Spotify account, but our Spotify wrapped is really embarrassing. So here's what we got up to in 2024.

‘Tis the season for turning cameras off because you’re 8 teas deep, and drowning in blankets.
