A Little Letter, A Little Magic

Here at Bluesdigital, we love doing things a little differently. This September, we started a small, whimsical project: reaching out to local businesses with an old-fashioned letter, delivered right through the door.

What makes these letters extra special? The stamps! We adore the unique stamp collections from Royal Mail, and we’re sending each letter with a carefully chosen stamp. The very first batch, sent out on the 5th of September, featured the mythical creature stamps — and they looked absolutely magical. If you were lucky enough to receive one, we hope it brightened your day just a little.

We wish we could include these beautiful stamps on every letter we send, but for now, only a handful of businesses are chosen at random.

If your letter didn’t have the special stamp, don’t worry — there’s always next time! Or, if you’re feeling cheeky, pop in to see us and maybe we can make an excuse for a fancy stamp… perhaps on an invoice letter, 🐒

Small but Mighty: Meet the Dell OptiPlex 7060 MFF

Here at Bluesdigital, we get genuine satisfaction from bringing a refurbished machine like the Dell OptiPlex back to life. There’s something special about seeing a once-corporate workhorse transformed into a creative tool, ready to be appreciated all over again.

We’ve been really enjoying getting to know this cool little PC — the Dell OptiPlex 7060 MFF. It’s one of those machines that just gets on with it. It is compact, quiet, and efficient. Yet, it is full of power when you need it. It is the kind of kit that fits seamlessly into any space. It makes you wonder why computers ever needed to be any bigger.

When we say “small but mighty,” we mean it. The Dell OptiPlex 7060 Micro Form Factor (MFF) is quietly confident — efficient, powerful, and perfectly sized to fit anywhere. It’s literally small enough to sit in the palm of your hand, yet built to handle serious work.

From Wind, Water & Sunshine to Your Website

At Bluesdigital, we’re excited to share some big updates about our hosting services and the values driving our business forward.

Running on Good Energy

We’re proud to say our server host offsets 100% of its electricity usage through renewable energy credits. By tapping into solar, wind, and hydropower, we’re keeping our hosting fast, reliable, and lighter on the planet.

Doing Our Bit

Sustainability goes beyond just powering servers. Our hosting partner has rolled out carbon reduction programs that cut greenhouse gas emissions. They’ve also been recognized for initiatives like tree planting and support for environmental charities—steps that help all of us share in a healthier future.

We also understand that renewable energy isn’t without its challenges, and not everyone agrees on the best way forward. Different approaches come with different trade-offs, and the transition isn’t always smooth. For us at Bluesdigital, doing our part means making practical choices that balance performance, reliability, and responsibility—so our clients can benefit today while we build toward a stronger tomorrow.

Growing Together

Our client base is always growing—from full-scale e-commerce operations to local tradespeople who rely on fast, reliable services. To keep pace, we’ve invested in infrastructure that ensures:

  • Lightning-fast response times for websites and email
  • Consistent uptime and reliability
  • Top-tier data services for our local community

This investment means your online presence stays smooth, secure, and ready for what’s ahead.

Under the Hood

For our tech-savvy friends, here’s what’s powering Bluesdigital hosting:

  • 32 CPU Cores
  • 32GB RAM
  • Cutting-edge NVMe storage for blazing fast speeds
  • Imunify360 security providing industry-leading protection for websites, servers, and email

These specs put our servers among the fastest in the business—performance you can feel with peace of mind built in.

A Word of Thanks 💙

No upgrade comes without a few bumps along the way. We want to thank our amazing clients for their patience and support as we ironed out the wrinkles. Your trust allows us to keep improving, and we are enormously appreciative of that.

Here’s to faster, greener, and more secure hosting—today and into the future.

16 Years Strong: Goodbye Old Friend, Hello Windows 11

Way back in 2008, one of our long-time customers came to Bluesdigital looking for a business PC that lasts. His only requests? Something reliable enough to handle his work — and lights that made it look the part.

Fast forward 16 years later, and that same machine was still powering his business. We only saw it a handful of times in all those years, for a couple of services and a hard drive replacement. That’s how tough our systems are built.

But with new software needing Windows 11 compatibility, it was finally time for an upgrade. Instead of going anywhere else, he picked up one of our Premium Refurbished PCs. These aren’t your standard refurbs — they come with a 5-year warranty, rock-solid performance, and the best local support around.

He loved the new machine so much (yep, prettier lights included) that he also ordered our Hand-Built PC’s Ych Brych, so we have had a great time getting everything just right. We’ll be setting it up for him on-site tonight, moving over all his data so his workday doesn’t skip a beat.

This is why we love what we do. When we say our systems last — we mean it. And when it’s time to move forward, we’re right there to help.

Beyond the Myth: Why We Build to Last

Built to endure. Inspired by myth. Crafted for you.

Not every computer is for everyone — and we understand that.

Some people need something affordable and ready right now. Others need a quick repair to keep their current machine going. That makes sense — and it’s why we continue to fix and support a wide range of systems. In fact, we enjoy helping you find the solution that suits you best.

But when it comes to the computers we build, we take a different path. Every system that leaves our workshop is designed with one question in mind: will it still serve you years from now?

That’s why we choose components that stretch beyond warranties. That’s why we design against the flaws we’ve seen in countless repairs. That’s why our machines — Twrch Trwyth and Ych Brych — carry not just mythic names, but the promise of endurance.

We don’t measure success by how many units we sell, but by how long each machine remains a trusted companion.

If you’re looking for something built to endure, not just to exist — you’re in the right place.
