Scothosts was founded in 2000, at the height of the Dot-com bubble; a period of extreme growth in the usage and adaptation of the Internet. During our formative years the team comprised a mix of graphic designers and marketing experts, with a focus on web design and hosting; in tandem with traditional print media. The advent of eCommerce saw the company employ programmers for the first time and our development work quickly gained recognition on a national stage, winning several prestigious awards. By 2008 the company evolved from a digital agency, offering development services to clients; to an internal project deployment team. Websites including Business Mailing and Live Sport were built, managed to profitability and subsequently acquired by industry partners. Today, with founding Directors still involved; the company operate a Hosting and Consultancy service for clients, alongside LibertyShield.com – one of the UK’s foremost VPN and Proxy Server providers.
