Purple Hostings
Purple Coffee Interactive is happy to unveil its plans to accommodate its current client side hosting packages, with a fully fledged, publicly accessible, domain and web hosting facility.
Purple Hostings move into the public sector reflects the demand on our current services for a more user centralised experience, which will offer our clients with a new breadth and freedom to manage their own accounts.
Purplehostings.co.uk is still under development so keep an eye out for updates. We plan to offer a price guarantee system, if you can find your web hosting package cheaper anywhere else on the web, then let us know and we’ll try our very best to offer a more competitive solution.

Cosmic Sunder: Elements
Purple Coffee has recently completed the online promotional materials for Cosmic Sunder Elements, on behalf of Welsh computer games developers Dark Rock Games. The project included the amalgamation of various media forms including image, sound and streaming video.
“Take charge of a futuristic vessel, smashing your way through the galaxy in a desperate attempt to reclaim the earth elements, stolen from Earth by the Cosmic Overlord. Scour the galaxy from planet to planet, collect the hidden elements and return them to Earth before all life as we know it perishes!”
We wish Dark Rock every success with this project and look forward to playing the full version of the game!
