What's hosting?

In order for your site to appear on the Internet, you must have all the necessary files hosted in a web server, which will connect to the Internet at high speed and cover all the needs and demands posed by modern technology. At Pointer, these servers are housed in a Greek datacenter, which means that we can achieve the highest speeds for Otenet network users.

How do I choose the right hosting package for me?

You should start from what you have or what you want to do ...

I have a normal site with a database.

If you build your site in Joomla, wordpress or another CMS then we recommend the Bronze linux hosting. It will cover all the cases of construction site with database unless they use the ASP as programming language. The resources in this plan are unlimited for a regular site. Whether you choose Cpanel or Plesk hosting panel is as a matter of ...taste. The functions are almost the same. In the Bronze or Cpanel linux hosting, we give you unlimited email accounts.

I have more than one site.

If you manage more than one site, then you should choose a package depending on the number of the sites you manage. Silver linux gives your the ability to host up to five sites while the Unlimited linux give you tha ability to host unlimited sites. The truth is that these packages will give you few more resources if your site is a bit more ... challenging.

These are not enough for me

Since we mentioned the word 'challenging', if your requirements for disc, traffic, RAM grow or you already have a site with many visitors eg sports, great blog, etc. then we recommend to host it on a VPS or Cloud server. There you will have autonomy and flexibility, and you will have all the resources you payed for, available. You can see analysis for VPS and Cloud on their respective pages.

Can i earn money from hosting?

If you have your own customers or friends and want to have them all together in one package at the same time earning money you can choose one of our reseller packages. In the case of reseller we will be well hidden for your customers

Windows, or Linux;

In all the above there is a special parameter called Windows. In our packages you can choose a Windows or Linux. This has nothing to do with your PC and the operating system you have in it. The main difference is that on Linux you can not upload a page that has used ASP or ASP.NET as a programming language. We have made a page about the differences of Windows or Linux.

Eventually my site is 'small', without database

If you create a page in html and you are not using a database, then you can choose the Basic linux. With 1.9 per month you host your site and you also have five emails in order to do your ...job easily.

An email and an under construction page is all i want...

If finally you just registered a domain name and you need an under construction page with one email, you can get the free hosting. Yes, it is free with no hidden costs.

Do not forget to read the Terms of Conditions before you choose a package.

How do I upload my site on the host server?

You will have to install a server uploading program in your computer, like Filezilla client, which is free.

As soon as you do, use the passwords/codes we will have sent you by email to connect to the server and installl all your files in the httpdocs folder.

There is also another way through your Plesk or Cpanel control panel. Open the Filemanager folder and install all your files in the httpdocs folder.

What is the minimum duration of a web hosting package

Web hosting packages can last for three, six, twelve and twenty four months

Where are Pointer's servers located?

Pointer's servers are located in a private datacenter in Greece. Thus we achieve the maximum possible speed

Can I have my site transferred to Pointer?

If you are not satisfied with your current hosting provider, Pointer can undertake the transfer of your site to our servers for free and with a bonus gift of up to six months hosting!

If you have less than six months of hosting left with your previous provider and you select Pointer for the hosting of your site, we will add those months to your annual package, without any extra charge.

Transfer from Pointer's technician

To commence hosting transfer, email us your request at support@pointer.gr within seven days from the date on which you order the new hosting package with Pointer

Free site transfer applies to those clients who have ordered any annual hosting package, except free and basic hosting packages
To qualify for free hosting, you have to prove that the rest of the remainder of the duration of your hosting package with the previous company is up to six months.

Transfer without Pointer's technician

Order your new package from Pointer's state-of-the-art order system.
You will be sent an email by Pointer, containing the details of your purchased package (ftp passwords, Plesk or Cpanel access codes for hosting, domain name servers).
Change the name servers in your domain through your registrar's control panel. After the change of the name servers, it takes approximately 24 hours to update your providers (OTEnet, Forthnet, Hol etc) so it would be wise not to interrupt hosting with your previous hosting provider, so that your site doesn't stop running.
Once you change the name servers, it would be wise to adjust the email settings on Plesk or Cpanel (if you want to adjust the email settings with the email codes and passwords you previously had, you don't have to adjust the settings on the email client you are using-Outlook etc-).
Upload the site files, using the ftp codes/passwords we have sent you, or through the Plesk panel for which you have received access codes/passwords. The files will be uploaded on the httpdocs folder

Do I need a credit card to order hosting?

Can I test-trial your services?
