As many of you may be aware from our previous updates, Reliance Retreats has been working closely with a specialist marketing agency to increase awareness of our holiday homes and drive new bookings through targeted social media advertising.
While these campaigns have delivered positive results, they have also highlighted an important challenge behind the scenes. Our existing VPS (Virtual Private Server) infrastructure has become increasingly unreliable, with frequent outages and performance issues requiring intervention from support teams to reboot servers or make technical changes. In today’s digital world, having a website that is available, fast, and reliable is essential—not only for our business but for the holiday homeowners who trust us to market their properties effectively.
With increased marketing activity comes increased website traffic, and it’s vital that potential guests arrive at a website that performs flawlessly. Every visitor matters, and a stable online platform ensures that enquiries and bookings aren’t lost due to technical issues.
To address this, we are currently midway through a major technology upgrade. We are migrating our websites, domains, and hosting infrastructure to Hostinger, providing a more robust, scalable, and reliable platform for the future. Hostinger will work alongside Microsoft 365, which already powers our email systems, SharePoint collaboration tools, and Microsoft Teams communications.
Alongside these infrastructure improvements, we have also commissioned a complete redesign of the Reliance Retreats website. We’re delighted with the results so far. The new website has been created by Jamil from our marketing partner, and it brings a fresh, modern look that truly reflects the quality of our business and the holiday homes we represent.
The new site has been designed with both guests and homeowners in mind, offering improved navigation, enhanced performance, a better mobile experience, and a stronger platform for future growth. Most importantly, it creates a seamless journey from the marketing campaigns our team is running through to the booking and enquiry process.
It’s certainly a busy period for the business, but it’s also an incredibly exciting one. These investments are all part of our commitment to providing the best possible experience for both our guests and our holiday homeowners. By strengthening our technology foundations and modernising our online presence, we’re ensuring that Reliance Retreats is well-positioned for continued growth in the years ahead.
We look forward to sharing the new website with you very soon and would like to thank all of our homeowners, guests, and partners for their continued support during this exciting transition.
Watch this space – the new Reliance Retreats website is coming soon!
