Extras with all our hosting and co-location
We offer a generous package of extra services with all our hosting plans. They are all free of charge because we think they’re essential to keeping your your server running smoothly.
- Backup Space Physically-separate storage space to protect against accidental damage and slips of the keyboard, and to recover from any hardware failures which may occur. A limited amount of free space comes with every package, and extra space can be added for a small supplement.
- Content DNS Upload your DNS data to our three DNS servers; relieve the load and administrative headache of running a DNS network whilst maintaining reliability, and without paying for a commercial service.
- Managed Anti-Spam Filter mail for all of your domains from £0.50 per domain. Turn it on automatically to relieve your hosting of heavy-duty anti-spam software, and the burden of maintaining it.
- Watchdog You want to know when your site or services aren’t working: our watchdog tells you via e-mail or SMS as soon as problems are detected, allowing you to resolve problems before your clients spot them.
- Local Mirrors We maintain public mirrors of several Linux distributions and projects, allowing your hosting systems the fastest possible access to their updates.
- IPv6 Connectivity Our state-of-the-art multi-gigabit network connects you to a global audience via IPv6, making your hosting ready for the next generation of IP.
