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 a service that stores your website or web project’s files and data on a server, which makes your website accessible to users on the internet. Without website hosting, your website wouldn’t be able to exist!
As a Web Hosting provider, we’ve got data centres that house large numbers of web servers, providing server space for customers to host web projects. This allows us to offer you world-class website performance and availability, at a fraction of the cost of purchasing and managing servers yourself.
Why is web hosting important?
Web hosting is essential for any website to function and 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.
Does our free web hosting come with free domain hosting?
Can I host a website for free forever?
We offer our Web Hosting with a risk-free, 30-day-money-back-guarantee, so you can try out our packages and if you’re not happy you’ll get your money back.
But for completely free hosting, hosting providers that offer totally free web services forever may not be the best option for you. Whilst this seems great at first, you won’t get the same speed, performance, uptime and customer support guarantees, and free web hosts may also place adverts on your website that you have no control over.
How can I get help with free hosting?
Our dedicated team of technical experts are available to help with all aspects of the platform 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Contact us on +44 (0)333 0142 700 or visit our support site for more details.
