Web Hosting
We like to be open and honest with our customers, so we’ll tell you up-front that we have a resellers account with Heart Internet, one of the UK’s top internet hosting companies.
This allows us to manage your day-to-day hosting requirements helping your internet business to run quickly and smoothly while having the vast technical support of Heart Internet at our fingertips should problems arise.
It also means that you only have one point of contact for email, hosting or domain issues – us.
We also only sell hosting as part of a web design project, maximising the server’s quality in delivering business websites.
Let us do all the hard work in setting up domains, ftp accounts, email addresses and the MySQL databases needed to run your website.
If you’re new to hosting, then we recommend you read our Guide to Choosing a Good Web Hosting Plan article.
Our Web Hosting Packages
We have several hosting packages to suit your needs and budget and each hosting plan comes with a Control Panel interface giving you complete control over the plan’s features.
Starter – Web Hosting Package
Our smallest website package, ideal for new websites with a small number of pages, say less than 10, that don’t need to be updated often. These types of website are often called ‘brochure-ware’ sites.
This package doesn’t come with any database support but does include:
Linux host, 5Gb space, 30GB monthly bandwidth and 50 mail boxes.
Starter Pro – Web Hosting Package
This package is great for small blogging websites and those requiring a little bit more flexibility. It includes:
Linux host, 5GB space, 30GB monthly bandwidth, 50 mail boxes, 1 MySQL DB, 1 sub-domain and access to CGI script installations such as WordPress and Joomla!
Small Business
Our most popular hosting plan aimed at small businesses who need to support a fairly comprehensive website. It includes:
Linux host, 20GB space, 60GB monthly bandwidth, 1000 mail boxes, 100 MySQL DB’s/sub-domains/additional FTP’s, scheduled server tasks and access to advanced CGI/PHP scripts.
Business Pro
The “top-dog” hosting plan where you can pretty much configure it the way you need to. It includes:
Linux host, unlimited space, unlimited monthly bandwidth, unlimited mail boxes, unlimited MySQL DB’s/sub-domains/FTP’s, advanced server/CGI/PHP scripts including eCommerce installations such as Zen Cart and osCommerce.
Domain Name Registration
Of course having your own website likely means you’ll need your own business domain name and we can help you choose and register the best one for your business. Or if you had the hindsight to grab a domain name earlier, we can transfer it to your new hosting account with us.
If you’re not too sure what to do then read our article on Choosing a Good Domain Name for Your Business.
Email Addresses
With every hosting package you purchase we will set-up all the email addresses and forwards your business needs to operate and you’ll be able to access your emails any time using the Web Mail feature.
CMS & Database Support
We sometimes get customers who have already purchased a domain name and snapped up some low-cost hosting plan at the same time.
Please be careful in purchasing a hosting plan before approaching a web designer, especially if your idea is to manage the website content yourself.
A Content Management System (CMS) is an application and usually requires a database to store it’s data.
Several of the low-cost hosting plans offered by companies who claim to be the most popular or who have the most number of customers, do not support databases or advanced scripting, which means a CMS can’t be installed.
Avoid paying extra money to “upgrade” your hosting plan by simply checking to see if it fully supports installations such as WordPress or Joomla! before you purchase it or give us a call on 0800 44 88 960 and we’ll happily offer you some advice.
Windows Support
All of our hosting packages are Linux by default, however we can offer Windows support if your site needs to run .net or you’d like to use Front Page Extensions. Please ask us for more details.
