Can you help with our Code load?
Some internet companies make claims and assertions that suggest their heads are in the clouds not just their hosting.
Here at Webfusion we don’t need to do that – we just concentrate on the facts: we’ve been helping create the internet since 1997 and now how host more than 1.4 million websites and over 2 million domain names – making us the Number 1 hosting company in the UK.
We have a state-of-the-art eco-friendly UK data centre and nearly 200 employees who are not only experts in their fields but enjoy working for us!
We’re proud to say we are very good at what we do, but we always want to be better. We are expanding our global presence and have recently launched in North America. We have a strong team in the UK that you would become part of, working alongside colleagues in Romania. You’ll be helping design, develop and promote our global operation in the UK, Germany and the US.
Like any business, sales and revenue are important, but we also like to lead and pioneer, so our team is full of forward-thinkers and creative/inventive types.
