We offer an email service with your custom domain that can be purchased separately or be included for free with a purchase of our web hosting service. The email service comes with support from our team who will be ready to help you at a moments notice.

Security

A vital aspect of having a property on the internet is to ensure it is safe and secure from hackers, malware and general mishaps. This action should be maintained all the time and include updating your plug-ins and the website in general to ensure the latest technology is used with the least possible vulnerability issues.

Security

SSL

Short for Secure Socket Layer, and also known simply as a Security Certificate, this is the little lock that shows up beside your website name and shows people that your forms and payment portals are secure and encrypted. Without it, your website could be labelled as “insecure” with a bright red warning, deterring anyone from visiting you.

Reseller Hosting

Hosting websites is great for business, but it can be a little tough to get started on your own. We can set you and your business up on our server by giving you your own reseller account. You'll be able to upload or create websites and manage them through our user-friendly hosting control panel.

Hosting and Domain Services FAQ

What is web hosting, and why do I need it?
Web hosting is a service that allows individuals and organizations to publish their websites on the internet. When you register a domain name, you need a web hosting service to make your website accessible online. It provides the necessary technologies and services for your website to be viewed on the internet.
Shared hosting is a type of web hosting where multiple websites share the same server resources, making it a cost-effective option for small websites. Dedicated hosting, on the other hand, gives you an entire server for your website, providing better performance, security, and control at a higher cost.
When choosing a domain name, consider keeping it short, simple, and relevant to your content or business. Avoid using hyphens and numbers as they can complicate the name. It’s also beneficial to choose a name that is easy to remember and type, and to check the availability of the domain extension that best suits your purpose (like .com, .net, .org, etc.).
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is a protocol that provides a secure channel between a web server and a browser. It encrypts data transferred between the two, ensuring privacy and security. Having an SSL certificate is critical, especially if your website handles sensitive information, as it builds trust with your users and is also a ranking factor for search engines.
Yes, you can switch your web hosting provider. Most reputable hosting companies provide support to help you migrate your website without significant downtime. However, it’s important to review the policies and transfer processes of your current and new provider to ensure smooth migration.
Domain name registrars are companies that manage the reservation of domain names. When choosing a registrar, consider factors such as pricing, customer support, renewal rates, and additional services offered (like domain privacy protection, email hosting, and DNS management). Always go for a registrar that is accredited by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers).
