This is why over 35,000 clients from across the globe trust eukhost to look after their web hosting.

In simple terms, a domain name is the name of your website, e.g. eukhost.com. A domain name is essential because it is linked to the website’s IP address so that browsers and search engines can find it. They are also what people will look for and click on to arrive at your site. This is why no two domain names are permitted to be the same – everyone is unique.  
 
Domain names are split into two different parts. The part before the dot is the actual domain name and this is usually the name of the business, brand or individual. The part after the dot is called the Top Level Domain (TLD) and this is usually chosen to identify the type of website, organisation or location. (For example, .co.uk is for a UK company, .london is for an organisation in London and .cafe is for cafés) At eukhost, we have over 100 different TLDs to choose from.  

You will need to buy a domain name before your website can go online and you can do this through eukhost.

You can buy a domain name directly from eukhost by visiting our Domain Names page. Here, you can search for the domain you want to buy, check that it isn’t already registered to another organisation and, if not, purchase and secure the registration so that you can use it for your website. It’s simple and quick to do. Most domain names are available for between £10 and £20 a year.  

Although people refer to buying a domain name, what you actually purchase is the registration of the domain name, which gives you sole rights to use it for either one or two years. At the end of that period, you have the right to renew the domain name by paying another registration fee. You can do this for as long as you need the domain name and we can set up auto-renewals so that your registration doesn’t lapse.  

If you fail to renew, the organisation which oversees registrations, ICANN, will make the domain available for others to register. If you no longer need the domain name, you can either let it lapse or you can sell it.

It can be challenging to find the best web hosting plan and there are several factors you need to consider: These include: 

·                  The type of operating system your website software needs to run (Linux or Windows). 

·                  The amount of disk space you will need for all your website files and data. 

·                  How many websites you wish to run and whether you want to run other applications besides your website.  

·                  The amount of traffic your web hosting will need to handle. This will affect how much CPU, RAM and bandwidth you will need.) 

·                  Making sure the web hosting cost is right for your budget. 

·                  Making sure you have fast web hosting to keep your visitors happy.  

Absolutely – and in more ways than one. Technical assistance at eukhost begins behind the scenes. As part of our managed hosting, our expert engineers look after the management of your server, keeping it performing at its best and patching and updating the operating system on your behalf.

A good control panel makes it much easier to manage your websites and web hosting. For this reason, we use industry-leading control panels. For Linux web hosting, we include cPanel and for Windows web hosting, we include Plesk.

Backups are an essential component of web hosting, ensuring that your website can recover quickly from disaster. The most secure and convenient option is to use our affordable remote backup solution. This enables you to schedule automated backups at the frequency you need, store them remotely from your server, encrypt them for enhanced security and check them for integrity to ensure that, if you should need them, they are not corrupted.
