Fast UK Servers
Unlike some hosts all our servers and staff are based in the UK. We use only the best new equipment and suppliers, for example Core i7 CPUs (2xquad core), 12Gb RAM and SAS RAID 10. We also take daily backups of all your data to an offsite location, although we always advise that you keep a backup of your data which you can easily download through cPanel.
Try a speed test: 10mb file download!
Spam Scanning
We use SpamAssassin, which lets you easily protect you from spam. SpamAssassin scores your spam out of ten, and you can choose at what levels you want spam highlighted, deleted or sent to a dedicated spam folder.
Addon and Parked Domains
Our standard Shared Hosting packages come with both addon and parked domains, which let you associate additional domain names with your hosting account. Parked domains point to your main domain, and addon domains point to a subfolder.
Our basic hosting package comes with two parked domains. To read about the difference, or for more information, see our guide to addon and parked domains.
Easy File Management
We make it easy for you to manage your files. You can do so using ftp as standard (and creating a number of custom ftp accounts), or you can use our online file management and editing software.
Our hosting also integrates with popular desktop programs such as Dreamweaver to allow you to update with the minimum of hassle.
MySQL 5 and PHP 5
We always use the latest versions of software for maximum security and reliability. Currently we run Apache 2, MySQL 5.0 and PHP 5.2 for ultimate performance.
We also support .htaccess, register_globals and mod_rewrite. Other supported languages include Perl, SSI and CGI/Python.
Website Tools
We provide everything you need to get started. It's easy to setup email and FTP accounts through cPanel, view visitor statistics and more.
See some design tools to help build your site!
Database Management
Through cPanel you can easily create and manage databases with full phpMyAdmin access. You can also create specific MySQL users and limit how they can access your databases, and allow access from remote IPs.
