Frequently asked questions
Questions about our Linux 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 Linux Web Hosting?
If you’re a Linux fan, you can choose a Web Hosting package that comes with the Linux OS pre-installed. Get unbeatable performance, full customisability, and compatibility with your favourite software with our Linux Hosting services.
What is Web Hosting?
Web Hosting is an essential service for making your website available online. Your Web Hosting server will store all of your website’s files and data, which means that this information can be easily retrieved when someone wants to visit your site.
As a Web Hosting provider, Fasthosts manages data centres housing large numbers of web servers, and provides space for customers to host web projects. This allows Fasthosts to offer you world-class website performance and availability – and at a fraction of the cost of purchasing and managing servers yourself.
How do I set up my Linux Hosting?
It’s really easy to get set up on a Linux Hosting plan. Just choose your package from our package table and follow the steps into the Control Panel. Once you’re there, everything is under one roof. It couldn't be easier!
What’s the difference between Linux Hosting and Windows Hosting?
Linux Hosting means your server will use the Linux operating system (or possibly a Linux distribution like Ubuntu). With Windows Hosting, your projects are hosted on a server with a Windows operating system. Linux and Windows are both excellent options for different types of customers, so make sure you do your research before choosing a hosting plan.
Should I use Linux or Windows for my website?
Your decision will mostly depend on what tools and software you prefer using. If you’re used to using Windows or Microsoft products, you could stick to what you know by choosing a Windows Web Hosting plan. However, if you’re looking for a more lightweight OS and broader compatibility with non-Microsoft products (which you can instantly install with our handy OneClick app installer), Linux is your best bet.
Want to learn more about the similarities and differences between Linux Hosting and Windows Hosting? Check out our complete guide to Linux vs Windows. VPS Hosting customers can also read our Linux VPS vs Windows VPS hosting guide.
Does Linux Web Hosting come with a domain name?
Why shouldn’t I choose free Linux Web Hosting?
Some hosting providers may advertise free Linux Web Hosting or free Linux VPS Hosting services, but they’re often too good to be true. Free Linux Hosting deals don’t offer the same robust security, reliable uptime or incredible speeds you can get with a trustworthy Linux host like Fasthosts. Plus, free hosting providers often place ads on your websites, which can look very unprofessional to visitors.
If you’re on a budget, we’ve got the perfect affordable Linux Hosting plans to suit your needs. Our Start plan is only £5.75 per month, making it ideal for sole traders and new businesses.
How can I get help with Linux Web 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.
Can I create more than one website with Linux Web Hosting?
Of course! While our Start package is for 1 website only, you can create 3 websites with our Grow package, 10 websites with our Scale package and up to 100 websites with our Pro package. Plus, you can always start smaller knowing you can upgrade to a larger package if you need space for more sites!
