UK Hosting Accounts

Although our hosting accounts are supplied with Joomla in mind, most 3rd party scripts will also work just fine on these accounts (but we only provide technical support for Joomla). We are currently offering a choice of 3 UK hosting plans:

Starter	Silver	Gold
750MB Web Space	1500MB Web Space	3500MB Web Space
2000MB Bandwidth per month	5000MB Bandwidth per month	15000MB Bandwidth per month
5 MySQL Databases	10 MySQL Databases	20 MySQL Databases
20 e-mail accounts	50 e-mail accounts	75 e-mail accounts
5 Parked Domains	10 Parked Domains	20 Parked Domains
5 Sub-Domains	10 Sub-Domains	20 Sub-Domains
5 Addon Domains *	10 Addon Domains *	20 Addon Domains *
from £5 + vat per month **	from £9 + vat per month **	from £14 + vat per month **

Which plan is right for me?

If you are planning a fairly small, brochure-style website, without too many photos or documents for download, then a Starter account should be sufficient for you. If you are expecting a fairly large number of visitors (eg. 500 per day or more), or you have a number of photos or documents, you will probably need a Silver account. Gold accounts should cater for most sites with a high amount of website traffic or a number of photos/documents.

If in doubt, start with a Starter - you can always upgrade later if you need to (or you can contact us for advice).

All plans also benefit from the following features:

Joomla! 1.0.x Pre-Installed (If required)
Free .co.uk Domain Name Registration***
Linux server (robust and stable)
mod_rewrite activated (so Joomla SEF URLs work ok)
cPanel
FTP Access
phpMyAdmin (for administering MySQL databases)
awStats (website statistics analysis)
Webmail (access your e-mail on the internet)
EMail Forwarders
EMail Autoresponders
Technical Support
Password Protect Directories
Hotlink Protection (stop people linking directly to your image files)
FrontPage Extensions
IP Deny Manager (block certain IP addresses from accessing your site)
Custom Error Pages
CGI Access

* Using an addon domain also uses up a subdomain, as a subdomain is required for an addon domain to work.

** Prices shown are applicable if account is paid annually. Monthly payments are available but the monthly cost is higher due to increased administration and card processing fees. If you pay annually and cancel your account before the end of the year for which you have paid, you will be given a pro-rata refund for each full month outstanding, so annual payments give better value with no extra commitment or risk.

*** Registration and annual renewal of 1 .co.uk domain is completely free for as long as you host your account with us. If you already have a domain name, you can of course use that with your Netshine hosting account (see this faq).
