Having spent some time reviewing the products and services offered by AGUK the decision has been made to make these more streamlined and concentrate on improved customer service.

Previously AGUK offered a wide range of products and services designed to cater for many aspects of a customers needs. However the large number of services on offer meant there was less time to spend on our core principle - customer service. Becuase of this the products and services on offer have been streamlined to reflect those that are primary to the business, mainly internet hosting services such as internet software, email services, hosting services, domain registration.
