Fasthosts has delivered market-leading online services to UK homes, home offices and SME markets since 1999. They have a successful track record in providing high value, award winning products, and they’ve been ranked #1 for reseller hosting by Web Host Directory. Customers can find domain names, email hosting, Web hosting, dedicated servers and more through this home to more Web sites than any other UK Web host provider.

Features

Fasthosts provides both Windows and Linux servers for hosting, and both solutions offer almost the same features. However, both server types are divided up into three options that appeal to basic users, developers, and commercial business.

The basic plan, which is priced at a budget level, offers easy Web site creation with Fasthosts’ SiteBuilder tool, virus and spam protected email, graphical Web site statistics and other hosting features such as FrontPage extensions, ASP, Perl, CGI and unlimited traffic.

The Windows developer plan includes ASP.NET, SSL encrypted space, password protection and advanced features such as PHP and Perl scripting, open database connectivity (ODBC), custom error pages and more. The Linux developer plan includes much of the same without the ASP features.

The Windows and Linux business plans include Microsoft Exchange 2003 email with free Outlook software and Outlook Web Access, load balanced Web servers, a traffic driver that increases traffic to your site through automated search submission, password protection and more scripting options. The Linux option offers MySQL database support.

Fasthosts also offers reseller options with unlimited Web sites, bandwidth and Web server space and a special blog hosting solution for customers. Fasthosts supplies its own brand of control panel for resellers and customers, and potential customers can view this panel through the reseller option pages.

Finally, Fasthosts’ dedicated servers give you full flexibility with a wide range of operating systems (including Ubuntu). Simply choose the Windows 2003 or Linux operating system that suits your needs. With instant automated deployment and thoroughly tested nightly system updates, your operating system will remain fully patched and up to date.

Reliability & Reputation

Fasthosts has invested millions of dollars into two data centers located in Gloucester. Their Web servers are constantly monitored and optimized to ensure websites that meet the high expectations of today’s demanding Internet audience. They maintain thousands of the latest Web servers, monitored 24×7 by their expert team of engineers.

Data center access is strictly limited to security-cleared personnel, controlled by extensive CCTV monitoring and state-of-the-art access control systems. Additionally, extensive environmental controls are employed to make sure their servers work to their full potential and deliver high performance day-in, day-out.

Pricing

Fasthosts provides budget hosting to business solutions that are in line with the average cost for a business hosting solution. They often offer special deals for new accounts.

Support

Fasthosts provides 24×7 UK call center support, but their online knowledge base is “at the heart” of their customer support service. They also offer forums, manuals, quick-start guides, searchable how-to articles and a FAQ. They aim to resolve all queries within two hours of notification.
