7 Things You Need To Know Before Selecting Your Web Hosting Company

  • It is recommended for businesses to take advantage of professional UK web hosting.

  • Web hosting agencies offer high performance connections and safe browsing for your customers.

1. What is web hosting?

  • In a nutshell, web hosting is a service that safely and securely stores your business or personal web site on the internet. It gives your website global access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. It stores all of the files on your website while at the same time giving customers access to your site. Web hosting offers your web server configuration and management, 24/7 security and virus protection, along with other applications.

    We can provide the above services, and more. We are your one-stop site for all of your online business needs.

2. What is uptime?

  • Uptime is the time during which a computer is operational. This is critical for business in that it will give both your regular customers and prospective clients alike 24 hour access to your website. Networks require more than one reliable device to get uptime to operate properly. With our web hosting company, you never have to worry about uptime.

    We can monitor your uptime for your website. Our web hosting software will ensure that your uptime is consistent and secure.

3. How often do I need to pay?

  • Similar to domain names, you would need to pay for your hosting site annually. The fees are very low so don’t panic about high cost. Paying annually ensures that if you ever decide to switch hosting companies or if your business changes hands, you will not be tied into a lifetime contract. There are sites that offer free hosting, but their services are very limited, offer no security or protection, and they do not guarantee their services. Paying the yearly feel will give you peace of mind and guarantee high quality service.

    We offer a number of web hosting packages for you to choose from.

4. Where shall my Hosting server be based?

  • We have formed a partnership to provide our customers with the best web hosting services available. Together we aim to serve our customers for all of their hosting needs.

5. How can slow speed lead to loss of business?

  • A slower server can be a biggest disaster for your business because it can slow down your website and will take longer to download. Today, everyone is in a hurry so slow download speeds tend to discourage customers from doing business. If your site freezes up or takes too long to download information, customers will simply give up and go to another site to utilize their services.

    We guarantee our customers quality and fast service. Your website will not freeze and your page will load very quickly, so you will not lose customers due to slow download time!

6. What if I need to make changes to my webpage?

  • We understand that businesses are constantly changing or growing. Say you’ve changed locations, upgraded your services, added new products, changed management or added a new team member. You can make any changes to your site on your own. Simply log onto your page and make any necessary adjustments. It’s that easy!

    And we are always ready and willing to help you if you need any assistance!

7. What kind of technical support is available?

  • Our friendly and knowledgeable customer service department is always willing to help you with any questions or concerns you may have about your website. They are extremely skilled and professional and always ready to offer a helping hand. You can either contact us online or call our customer service number.

    Whatever your needs for your business website, we are ready and willing to serve you. Our expert staff will provide you with the best service possible. Sign up for your web design and web hosting needs!

Help me understand web hosting?

Web hosting is basically a service that stores your website on the internet, allowing it to be seen by the rest of the world, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Many people look at it as a computer that never sleeps!

Web hosting works by storing all of your website files whilst making them available to online users. Web hosting services include highly skilled management and configuration of your web server, virus protection, 24/7 monitoring as well as a host of other applications.

I do not have technical knowledge of web hosting, what do I do?

To get the most out of your website, it is important that you not only have access to a quick and responsive Internet source, 24 hours a day, it’s also important that you understand the technical components of web hosting.

If either of these apply to you, it’s certainly worthwhile investing in a professional web hosting service that is able to ensure the smooth and responsive running of your website.

Do I have to have web hosting?

Although it is technically possible to serve website pages by connecting your MAC or PC to the internet at home, it is no where near as powerful or practical as investing in a professional web hosting service.

This is because to manage and maintain your website pages, you will need access to powerful web servers that have the capability to effectively store your web pages. The vast majority of specialist web hosting agencies have access to high performance connections, which allow many visitors to your site to access your pages at the same time.

How long will it take to set me live?

Set up time depends on your provider and the type of web hosting package you invest in. However, most of the time, activation is almost instant, allowing you to reap the benefits of 24-hour web hosting and online support immediately.

All log in information and correspondence linked to your web hosting account will be sent via email.
