About
A family-run software and hosting company
Our data centre is in Colchester, UK — a private warehouse with dedicated parking for co-location customers, by visit approval.
Broadbent Group owns and operates that facility, and the brands across the group sit behind it: hosting, servers, software and development.

History
How the group was built
From a web development studio to a UK company with its own data centre, applications and hosting.
May 2021
Broadbent Group Ltd
The company was rebranded to Broadbent Group Ltd in May 2021.
Background
Broadbent Group Ltd runs and owns its data centre, along with website hosting, virtual private servers, dedicated servers and co-location.
We are now a data centre, an IT company providing enterprise services, a software company providing applications and support, and a development company specialising in PHP and React.
Network
Multiple leased lines from Virtual 1 and TalkTalk Business keep hosting services stable.
Acquires sFTP App
Bringing sFTP App into the group lets us offer our own file transfer application to hosting customers. sFTP App's websites, API and data are hosted in our UK data centre.
December 2013
myWeb Ltd
The company was rebranded to myWeb Ltd at the end of 2013.
Background
myWeb Ltd specialised in web development, continuing the work of Xpress Web Developers under a shorter name. After ASP sites and applications, the stack moved to PHP with AngularJS on the frontend.
August 2003
Xpress Web Developers
The company was founded in 2003.
Who we were
Xpress Web Developers built websites and applications for businesses, professionals and other developers — from sites built from scratch to features such as login systems and members' areas. Hosting on our own servers followed.
The company
Registered in England and Wales, we specialised in PHP and MySQL, also working in ASP. Customer relationships and service levels were the reason the business grew.
Servers & website
Servers ran Linux CentOS with cPanel. The public site was xwebdev.com.
Colchester
Britain's oldest recorded Roman town
We're based in Colchester, UK — with our own data centre on site.
