Universal Hosting details
Out of the box we will provide you with a sensibly secured container that’s PCI compliant. We will configure it using our standard settings that make sense for 99% of websites. This should mean your website will perform much faster than traditional shared web hosting. From there we hand things over to you.
If you need more performance, security or something about the hosting environment configured just get in touch. We can deploy additional security measures for you, increase existing ones, tweak performance settings, deploy caching for you - you just need to let us know. Any changes we make will be documented so our whole team understands your customised hosting setup.
All we ask is you let us keep the container up to data through automated software updates (core OS). We'll enable this as standard for you, and ask you don't disable these updates.
What do I need to do
You’ll need to manage any software you decide to use on the account. If you want to use WordPress, Joomla, Drupal or Magento that/s more than fine, but we don’t monitor, manage or secure the software. We ask that you keep any software you install up to date and secure.
We’re happy to act as a sounding board if you have general questions about your container and the software you use, but you ultimately the software you run is your responsibility. We can also point you in the right direction if you need additional professional help with the software you use.
Website migration
If you’re moving your website from another provider we will happily perform the migration for you. You just need to let our team know what software and configurations you’re currently using ahead of the move so we can assist.
