OUR SERVICES Website Hosting Services
Hosting: Where do we keep your website?In simple terms websites are a collection of linked files which are hosted on a computer called a web server. Different types of server suit different applications depending on the type of your website.
To ensure your website is available online 24 hours a day, 365 days a year your site will be 'hosted' on a fast and reliable web server based at a state-of-the-art data centre in the UK. All sites are 'load-balanced' to boost performance and reliability for busy websites.
Dynamic content and interactivity are usually provided by a database. Again, different databases suit different applications and we use mainly the industry-standard MySQL.
Data Centre:
Based in the UK at a state-of-the-art Data Centre our long-term web-hosting partner provides an award-winning, secure, high-spec service whose dedicated servers are both fast and reliable and afford the utmost in security, reliability and stability. They also maintain a carbon neutral facility, the first of its kind in the UK.
Email services: We provide a fully featured email service and can provide POP or IMAP accounts with unlimited email accounts at your domain.
Webmail will enable you to read or compose email on any of your email accounts, anywhere in the world, so long as you have an internet connected web browser.
Spam Filtering:
Also included in our email service is server-side spam filtering. This state-of-the-art spam filtering service takes place directly on the server, before the emails even reach your PC and will help stop unsolicited commercial email reaching your PC. Whilst this service is extremely powerful and reliable, you should still use spam filterng on your own PC.
Hosting Prices (website & email):
Hosting varies according to a website's requirements and the variety of options available determines the overall costs involved. In all cases there is an initial £50 set-up & configuration for the hosting service for your website.
Hosting space is generally limited to 2GB (more than enough for the vast majority of normal business websites) but can easily be increased to allow for larger sites such as those requiring image libraries.
Bandwidth allowance, the data flow to and from your website, is set to be around 5Gb, again, plenty for a normal website. Websites expecting to exceed witther of these will need specific bandwidth packages applied but again this is easily adapted to suit your needs.
Basic annual website hosting starts at just £15 per month (£180 per year paid annually in advance).
Our email service provides you with unlimited email addresses on your private domain and a control panel to manage your email accounts, forwarders, out of office notices etc. This is only £5 per month (£60 per year paid annually)
All prices exclude VAT charged at the current rate.
