What is 'hosting'

What is 'hosting'

In order for people to come and visit your web site it must be 'hosted' on a computer (commonly called a 'server'), that is permanently connected to the Internet. You may have your own server, the people you get Internet access from may give you space on their server, or you can rent space on ours.

Why should I host my site with jensys?

Most free web space is not really suitable for much more than a personal web site. You may get bags of room but you are limited as to what you can do with it. For example, you may not be able to use it for business purposes, the address of your web site will probably be something like www.freespace.yourISP.net/yourname/ instead of a more professional sounding www.yourcompany.co.uk and you will not be able to add many interactive features other than a message form and possibly a guestbook.

A hosting solution from jensys solves all these problems. Our standard package includes:

  • Free .uk domain name of your choice (subject to availability)

  • 30MB web space
  • 3Gb Data Transfer per month
  • Full CGI-Bin allowing you to have additional features such as e-mail forms, mailing lists, site search facilities, database access and display, forums, restricted areas etc.
  • 10 POP3 (e-mail) users
  • Unlimited e-mail Aliases
  • E-mail forwarding
  • Comprehensive access (visitor) statistics

We also include dial up accounts at BT local call (0845) rates at no extra charge.

The package is also capable of hosting multiple domain names and supports sub-domains e.g. www.products.yourdomain.co.uk, www.support.yourdomain.co.uk to make the site more user friendly and intuitive plus many more features.

In addition, we do all the updating and upkeep of the site for you, either as part of a periodic support fee or on a piecework basis so you don't have to worry about a thing.

Can I use a different hosting company?

Of course. Although we believe we offer one of the most comprehensive and cost-effective hosting solutions available it may not be the one best suited to you. If it isn't we'll tell you and advise you on the alternatives available. We do not act as resellers for anyone else so you can be assured our advice will be impartial and in your best interests.

How much will it cost?

Our basic hosting package as described above costs just £100 per year - and that includes the registration fees for a .uk domain name..
