Windows Plan

Offering full support for Active Server Pages, Microsoft Access databases and SSL secure transactions, the Windows Plan enables the construction of dynamic, data driven web sites with the minimum of technical knowledge.

You don't have to choose this plan just because you have Windows on your home or office PC! Our Starter, Commerce or Advanced Plans are more suitable for day-to-day websites. The Windows Plan is often used by developers who require ASP, Access databases, etc.

Jargon explained

A comprehensive description of each feature included with the Windows Plan can be found below. You may also wish to see our other hosting plans. If you have any queries or need advice deciding which option best suits your requirements, please do not hesitate to contact us.

2000Mb (2Gb) Windows 2003 Disk Space
2000 megabytes of disk space on our Internet servers in which to place your website files and store your e-mails. This is usually more than sufficient to store thousands of web pages with graphical content and e-mail for 500+ people.

100Gb Monthly Data Transfer
Each time your site is accessed data is transferred across the Internet. Our transfer limits are high and less than 1% of our customers exceed them. 100Gb is enough to serve many thousands of visitors to your website each day! Data transfer can be monitored in real-time via your control panel and, should you exceed your limit, you would simply pay a small surcharge of £10 per 1000MB.

Website Builder
Our acclaimed website builder software lets you choose a look and feel for your site and then by filling in the online forms you're done! You can then make as many changes to your site as you wish without getting overwhelmed with the technology. You manage everything through your web browser so there's no software to install on your computer.

Free Online Advertising
We've teamed up with Mirago, the UK’s largest independent search engine and provider of online advertising products to offer our customers £25 free Pay-Per-Click advertising. Find out more.

Unlimited POP3 Mailboxes

Unlimited Autoresponders

Unlimited Forwarders
You can automatically have your e-mail forwarded to another onsite or offsite e-mail address. You can also use this option to discard unsafe e-mail.

Unlimited Mailing Lists
A mailing list enables a single e-mail message to be delivered to multiple recipients. Mailing Lists are ideal for distributing staff bulletins and memos or sales information to your customer base.

SPAM Filtering
Unsolicited commercial e-mail commonly referred to as SPAM is the Internet equivalent of junk mail. You can set your hosting account to consult with a world wide database of known spammers to refuse e-mail sent from them. This reduces the amount of junk mail in your inbox increasing your productivity.

Unlimited E-mail Addresses
You can configure as many e-mail addresses at your domain name(s) as required. Mail to any address can be sent either to a POP3 mailbox on our server or forwarded to an existing e-mail address elsewhere. Mail sent to an address for which you have not configured a specific destination can be sent to a default location.

SMTP Outgoing Mail Server
You have access to your own SMTP mail server using mail.yourdomain.com. This means you will be able to send e-mail without having to dial-up to a particular ISP and from any location anywhere in the world.

Antivirus Protection
Computer viruses distributed through the e-mail system can cause untold harm to users unfortunate enough to receive them. Our mail servers scan your e-mails for known viruses alerting you to the danger before damage is done.
