Hosting Features

Linux Disk Space
All of our plans include a generous amount of disk space on our Internet servers in which to place your web site files, databases and store your emails. You can now store thousands of web pages with graphical content, thousands of lines of data and email.

Monthly Data Transfer
Each time your site is accessed data is transferred across the Internet, our transfer limits are high. Data transfer can be monitored in real-time via your control panel, should you exceed your limit, simply pay a small surcharge or upgrade your plan.

POP3 Mailboxes
A POP3 mailbox is essentially a password protected area where mail is stored until you are ready to read it using a mail client such at Microsoft Outlook. You can create a mailbox for each person or department in your organisation.

Autoresponders
Autoresponders reply to incoming email instantly and automatically. You can set and change the text of the reply and the trigger address whenever you like. Autoresponders are ideal for customer service or informing people when you are away.

Email Addresses
Configure as many email addresses at your domain name(s) as your plan allows. Mail to any address, can be sent either to a POP3 mailbox on our server of forwarded to an existing email address elsewhere. Mail sent to an address for which you have not configured a specific destination can be sent to a catch-all location.
