SSL secure web space

Fully secure 128-bit SSL encryption from Thawte. Enable your website visitors to send information to you securely, by creating web pages on our shared, secure SSL servers.

Load balanced web hosting

Host your website on multiple web servers for maximum reliability and uptime. Our unique web hosting architecture uses advanced real-time resource monitoring to seamlessly switch visitors to the web server with the most capacity at that time.

Custom error pages

Display your own custom error pages whenever your website visitors encounter a problem. For example, display your site map instead of a "Page not found" page.

SSH secure shell access (Linux web hosting packages)

Access your web server's command line, as easily as using your own computer. Move files around and upload / download files using SFTP.

Bandwidth monitoring

Unlike other web hosting providers we don't restrict bandwidth or charge you extra. But we still give you the tools to track your website's bandwidth usage, including filtered reports and email alerts. Included with all web hosting packages.

Test domain

While you're waiting for any DNS changes to take effect on your domain name, we provide a test domain for you to view your website on the live server. We're one of the very few web hosting providers to offer this feature.

Sub-domains

Sub-domains are great for organising your website content. They use folders in your main web space, but have special URLs to access the content. For example, shop.yourdomain.com could be used for your product pages, and support.yourdomain.com for help and FAQ pages.
