Hosting
- All of the hosting plans I see offer a certain amount of "traffic" or "bandwidth". What is this?
- Data transfer, sometimes called "bandwidth", refers to the amount of data that is used when visitors view your website. When visitors browse your website, they are technically requesting and retrieving files from the server. If you have a web page that consists of an HTML file and an image file that are 10kb each, then the amount of data transfer that is used when a single visitor views that web page is 20kb.
- Do you offer a web mail facility?
- Yes. Web mail is available on all email accounts.
This can be accessed by going to http://mail.yourdomain.com, replacing yourdomain.com with your actual domain name.
- How can i track users to my website?
- SmarterStats can be added to any website allowing users to monitor the traffic to their website.

Billing
- Do you have any hidden fees?
- No, the only extra fees are if you use more than your allocated bandwidth or disk space or if you order any extra features not included with your plan. Those prices are listed on the hosting pages.
- How do I Pay?
- We accept all major credit/debit cards, cheques and BACS payments. Payments for shared web hosting accounts are annually in advance. You may however cancel at any time and will be refunded any unused whole months of your subscription period.
Virtual servers and dedicated servers can be paid quarterly or annually, and again can be cancelled at any time with a refund for full unused months. Annual payments on virtual and dedicated servers benefit from the equivalent of two months free.
Monthly payments are automatically requested from your chosen credit or debit card
