Web Hosting (Windows and Linux)

What is it?

Web, or website, hosting is what you need to put a website online on the internet – it's the ‘space' where your website lives. Usually hosting is linked to your domain name (url). Once you have secured your domain name, our hosting packages can support professional company e-mail addresses, such as (yourname@yourdomain.co.uk). It works perfectly with services like Agility Mail. We offer different kinds of hosting to suit different websites – Windows-based and self-service Linux-based – and our packages can scale up and down to suit you.

VPW were recommended to me by a friend and I have returned to them time and time again to host my websites. I have always been impressed with their professionalism and efficiency - no matter what I throw at them!
