Web Hosting Service

Web

A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible via the World Wide Web.

Independent Web Hosting Service (away from your ISP) makes a lot of sense! In today's volatile ISP market, you want to be able to have the option of changing your ISP at a moment's notice, without any hassles (i.e Having to change web hosting plans also).

If your ISP hosts your Web Site, then he literally has you by the short and curly’s. Changing your ISP overnight is then not an easy option!

At Computer Craft we endeavour to make Web Hosting Service simple - there's only one plan and a choice of 2 operating platforms.

Operating Platforms

We give you the choice of Red Hat Linux or Microsoft Windows Server 2016 (IIS 10.0). Below we have outlined the features of each, and also a comparison chart.

Red Hat Linux

Redhat Linux

RedHat Linux Server is well-known as one of the most stable platforms available. It's recommended for sites with mostly HTML and without a lot of server-side scripting except of course for CGI/Perl which is native to the Linux Server.

Features

Our RedHat Linux plan supports the following features (move the mouse over any of the features to learn more about them):

Microsoft Windows Server 2016 (IIS 10.0)
