Are you paying for your web hosting by Direct Debit yet?

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

You’ve been asking us for all sorts of things over the past few months and by far the most popular has been for the facility to pay for your web hosting and domain name renewals by Direct Debit.

Direct Debit makes renewing your web hosting and domain names even simpler. No more worrying about your credit or debit card expiring or having to update your details when you get a new card.

If you’d like to pay your bills by Direct Debit instead of that pesky credit or debit card, login to your client area at www.simplewebhosting.co.uk/secure and click the Direct Debit link.

What are benefits of Direct Debit I hear you ask?

Direct debit is the preferred payment method for over 48% of the UK bill paying population because it provides so many advantages:

It spreads the costs
Spreading the cost of bills across the year, allowing easier budgeting.

Peace of mind
Peace of mind of knowing bills are being paid automatically and payment dates will not be missed.

It’s often cheaper
Apart from eliminating the expense of mailing cheques, it enables you to take advantage of the many direct debit discounts available.

It’s more convenient
Many organisations offer a choice of payment dates giving you the convenience of choosing a date that suits you best.

It’s guaranteed
The reassurance of knowing that every direct debit is protected by three main safeguards: an immediate money back guarantee from the bank or building society if an error is made, advance notice from the organisation if the date or the amount of the direct debit changes and ultimately, the right to cancel.

What’s left is available to spend
Paying regular bills by direct debit means it is easy to see what disposable income is left to spend after all other commitments have been met.

If you need any help or assistance over the long weekend, drop us an e-mail and we’ll reply in the same quick way we always do.

How important is your web hosting uptime?

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

You might think this is a silly question – of course web hosting uptime is important. But just how important?

Web hosting uptime is VERY important! We get new web hosting customers every day moving to us from other web hosts saying their site’s been down for two days, or a week or even longer! In the web hosting world, this is simply not acceptable.

Here at simplewebhosting.co.uk, we do a lot to make sure your website is online and available for the world to see every minute of every day of every year.

We provide all shared web hosting and reseller web hosting customers with a 99.9% uptime guarantee. That means that we’re so confident of the service we offer we guarantee that your website will be available 99.9% of the time. You may be interested to know that we have NEVER dropped below this 99.9% uptime guarantee on any of our web hosting servers.

In fact, taking the web server that this blog is hosted on, out of the last 33 months, 31 of those months have returned 100% uptime. This data is supplied from two independent server monitors organisations. That’s pretty impressive uptime for budget web hosting.

Of course, if the worse should happen and a web server crashes and become unfixable, we always have three backups of your website taken daily, weekly and monthly and can have your data restored to a brand new web server in just a few hours. Thankfully, we’ve only ever had to do that twice in recent years.

So, web hosting uptime is very important if you want people to be able to buy from you or even send you an e-mail!
