Frequently asked questions
Questions about our Web Hosting? Our FAQs have the answers to the most common queries. You can also contact our expert support team at any time.
What is web hosting?
Web hosting is essential for making your website accessible to users on the internet. In short, it’s a service that stores your website or web project’s files and data on a server, allowing users to request and be served those files in the form of web pages.
We’re a Web Hosting provider, which means we manage data centres that house large numbers of web servers. Customers can rent server space in our data centres to host web projects. This allows us to offer you world-class website performance and availability – all at a fraction of the cost of purchasing and managing servers yourself.
Why is web hosting important?
Without web hosting, your website wouldn’t function or be accessible on the internet. Choosing the best web hosting service means that your website will be fast, with no concerns of downtime. We offer hosting options for businesses and projects of all sizes looking to get online, from our powerful Scale and Pro packages to affordable web hosting services.
What are domain names?
Your domain name is the address of your website – users will type it into their web browser’s address bar to locate and access your site. Our domain name is fasthosts.co.uk. It’s made up of our brand name and a .co.uk domain extension, showing that we’re a UK-based company.
Domain names make it easier for people to remember, find, and identify specific websites. Without domains, we’d have to remember numerical IP addresses instead, which would be far more difficult!
How do I get a domain name for free?
You usually have to pay a certain amount per year to register and keep a domain name. For example, .com and .co.uk domain extensions typically cost £10-£15 per year.
However, you can get a domain name for free if you choose web hosting services that come with a free domain. Getting web hosting with a free domain from the same hosting provider will also make it easier for you to manage your domains and hosting from the same Control Panel.
