A website is a collection of computer files and every website has to be stored on a computer somewhere. "Hosting" is the term used for the storage of a website on a server that has access to the Internet. This means that hundreds or thousands of people can view your website at the same time anywhere in the world. Our hosting partners also provide email as part of the same service.

Most websites are best placed on a shared server as the probable traffic (level of visitors) is unlikely to exceed certain levels. If it is likely to exceed these levels, or the content is of a certain type, then we look to other methods such as dedicated hosting. We will tell you if we think you need extra services to cater for your requirements.

Shared hosting is a cost effective and secure method of hosting most websites. "Shared" means that other websites belonging to other people are on the server, but no-one has access to your website files except you.

Normally we manage your hosting and email accounts and charge you on an annual basis. Our shared hosting service is highly reliable however inevitably on rare occasions it can go wrong. If anything goes wrong, all you need to do is call us and let us sort out the problem.

A Dedicated Server is the closest you will get to owning a web server without being responsible for the actual hardware. There are numerous account types with differing prices which are charged annually or monthly.

Technical Support is available 24/7 as are engineers and the Control Panels allow for almost every eventuality. If the server goes seriously wrong, it is replaced with another at no extra cost.
