Frequently Asked Questions

Useful information before you buy Web Hosting

What should I look out before buying?

Before you buy a hosting plan, you should know the implementation of your website. Indicatively, if the implementation of your website will be done with HTML (static), the Basic Hosting plan can cover you, while if you use a CMS (WordPress), you can start with the Bronze plan. The difference is that the Bronze plan supports MySQL as database which is necessary for WordPress to be functional, while the Basic plan uses SQLite.

Greek hosting;

Infrastructure in a Greek data center. This way, we can achieve higher speeds due to GR-IX (Greek Network). At the same time, you can contact our technical department directly for support and communicate in Greek. Finally, the SEO of your website, to a small extent, will be better.

How much space do I need?

The space of your hosting plan plays a crucial role. A website can need anywhere from 100mb to Unlimited. If your website has a small amount of data at the beginning, it doesn't necessarily stay that way as it grows.

Will I be able to host email?

In our hosting plans, you can also host your mail. In the Basic plans, you can have up to 5 email accounts. In the larger shared hosting plans, there is no limit to the number of accounts you can have, but there is a limit to the quota of each mailbox at 1GB.

What happens in case of a malfunction?

In our shared server hosting plans, there is an almost daily backup. If anything happens to your website, you can inform the technical department so that they can proceed to restore the backup.

Is a security certificate provided?

In our hosting plans, the free Let's Encrypt security certificate is provided. If there is no commercial certificate available, you can install it to encrypt the connection from the user to your website.

If I have an issue, can I contact technical support?

Technical support is at your disposal, weekdays 9:00-19:00 for general issues and 24 hours a day for critical issues.

Is there supervision of the servers?

Our technicians monitor the infrastructure 24/7. They supervise the proper functioning of the infrastructure, as well as the upgrade of services and systems. Knowing the above, you can be carefree with the infrastructure and focus on the development and maintenance of your website.
