Web hosting services included in our affordable packages
You can use the menu below to see more details about each
web hosting feature
included in our low cost web hosting packages: |
Apache
has been the most popular web server on the Internet since
April of 1996. The July 2003 Netcraft
Web Server Survey found that 63% of the web sites on the
Internet are using Apache, thus making it more widely used
than all other web servers combined. top
Accounts are allotted generous disk quotas (web space) to
accommodate media-rich content which is increasingly common
on the world wide web, and especially now that broadband is
gaining in popularity. top
Each time your site is accessed data is transferred across
the Internet. Our hosting packages come with a generous monthly
data transfer allowance, see the Hosting
Packages page for details. Data transfer can be monitored
day-to-day via the stats utility in your control panel. top
You can create subdomains of your main domain name from your
control panel. Subdomains are in the format http://subdomain.yourdomain.com.
This is useful if you wish to segregate and identify different
sections of your website by url address, e.g. http://sales.mydomain.com,
http://enquiries.mydomain.com, http://support.mydomain.com
etc. top
Each web hosting account comes with POP3 mailbox user accounts.
By default the primary username specified on signup will act
as a 'catch-all' email address for <anything>@yourdomain.com
as long as <anything> is not another existing username
or alias on the same domain. top
Email Autoresponders reply to incoming email instantly and
automatically. You can easily set up autoresponders (also
referred to as 'vacation messages') from within your control
panel. top
Manage your account via an easy to use online control panel,
add email users, subdomains, administer MySQL databases and
more. You can see the control
panel demo here, login with the username: demo
and password: demo.
top
All hosting accounts can be accessed for website maintenance
any time, any day. We keep our servers running at 99.5% uptime,
and users are informed in advance of any scheduled downtime.
top
We support CGI scripts and all users have access to the Perl
server. Perl scripts should have .cgi or .pl extension and
you can create your own cgi-bin although our Linux servers
will run CGI scripts from anywhere in an account's web directory.
top
PHP is a powerful server side scripting language ideal for
the creation of dynamic data driven web sites. The PHP version
4.3.6 is installed on our servers including GD 2 and ImageMagick
5.5, as well as Zend Optimizer which improves PHP performance.
top
MySQL is
a powerful database engine designed to provide fast access
to stored data. Databases can be created from your control
panel and managed using phpMyAdmin
which is also accessible from the control panel.
top
Users have free access to a secure server with https:// which
you can use to create secure, 128 bit encrypted web space
for your own use. This is ideal for collecting sensitive information
such as credit card details from visitors.
top
FrontPage
2000 extensions are installed on our web servers. If you
select this option it allows you to take advantage of the
dynamic features and publication wizard in Microsoft's web
page authoring software. top
Server
Side Includes (SSI) enable the addition of dynamic elements
to HTML web pages. Automatically insert dates, file information
and other HTML documents into web pages. HTML pages using
SSI should have the .shtml extension. top
You can restrict access to certain areas of web sites to authorized
users, and configure as many usernames and passwords as required
for each protected directory. Applications include sites where
membership is required to view certain content or the creation
of an extranet etc. top
Replace the standard uninformative and dull error responses
of your virtual servers with a customised page of your own
design. This encourages surfers to stay on your site when
an error occurs, and generally adds to the professionalism
of a website. See the support
page for more details. top
View monthly, daily and hourly usage statistics for your web
site, see how many people are visiting your site, where they
come from, what search keywords they use to find you, and
more. Raw
web access logs for your domain can also be downloaded.
Statistics are updated once every 24 hours.
top
We do not charge for domain name transfers, whether to or
away from our servers. Although we provide domain name hosting
we are not domain Registrars. If you need a very low cost
domain name (e.g. £2.89
per year) with full domain management facilities then visit
123-Reg.co.uk.
When you purchase a domain name with 123-Reg.co.uk
you will gain complete control over your domain name which
can then be managed via their excellent online member's control
panel. See our Domains
page for more on transferring domain names to our servers.
top
We operate a 30 day money-back guarantee. If you decide this
service is not for you and claim within 30 days of opening
your web hosting account, we will issue a full refund, no
questions asked. (Actually we may decide to ask why, purely
for the sake of maintaining high standards and quality of
service). top
Our Support Page contains
information about using your hosting account. If you should
run into difficulty or have any queries you can use the online
support ticket system in your control
panel. If you cannot login to your control panel you can
email support at support@wiserhosting.com
or telephone (UK) 01803 840700. top
