Our Standard Shared Hosting Features
To ensure reliability and performance for every website we build, our inclusive shared hosting package is built on a robust foundation. We believe in transparency about the core features you receive:
- Control Panel Access: You get full access to a user-friendly control panel, such as cPanel or Plesk, allowing you to manage files, databases, and email accounts independently.
- Email Accounts: Create multiple professional email addresses linked to your domain. Each account starts with a 400 MB mailbox, with a simple upgrade path to 2GB.
- Security as Standard: Free SSL certificates are included to encrypt data, enable the padlock in browsers, and improve visitor trust. Our servers also benefit from regular security monitoring.
- UK-Based Servers: By using Heart Internet's UK data centres, we ensure faster loading times for your UK audience, which is a positive signal for local search engine performance.
Common Questions About Hosting With Us
What control panel do you use?
For clients who need it, we provide access to an industry-standard control panel. This powerful tool allows you to manage your domain, set up email forwarders, access your files, and oversee your databases without needing to contact us for every small change.
Are website backups included?
Yes, we perform regular, automated backups of your website files and databases. This provides a crucial safety net, allowing for quick restoration in the unlikely event of data loss or a critical error, ensuring business continuity.
Can I transfer my existing domain name to you?
Absolutely. If you already own a domain name, we can assist you with the process of transferring it to be managed under your hosting account with us. This helps consolidate your billing and technical management into one place.
When and How to Upgrade Your Hosting
While our shared hosting is powerful, some websites eventually require dedicated resources to maintain a fast user experience. Understanding when to upgrade is key. Consider a more powerful solution if you notice:
- Your website slows down during peak traffic hours.
- You plan to run resource-intensive web applications or a large ecommerce store.
- You require custom server configurations or specific compliance protocols.
The process is simple. We first analyse your site's performance data. Based on this, we recommend a suitable VPS or dedicated server. We then handle the entire migration for you, scheduling it to ensure a smooth transition with minimal to no downtime.
