fruity: Web hosting UK | Webhosting with free .co.uk domain name

Web Hosting » Features

At fruity: we have included a great range of features as a standard to all hosting packages despite the low price!

We offer hosting that fits in with our customers requirements and provide generous amounts of bandwidth and space - which we don't enforce strictly like many other hosting companies do.

To provide you with confidence of what your purchasing we have laid out a detailed list of all the features we provide, explained clearly and non technically. Please contact us if you are still unsure.

Pay Monthly

Our hosting packages are charged on a monthly or yearly basis starting from just £1.99 per month. There is no VAT or hidden extras to add to this and you can pay using any major credit or debit card via PayPal* or Google Checkout.

*No PayPal account required

Pay Yearly

Our hosting packages can also be paid for yearly. If you pay yearly we reward you with two months free every single year! You can pay using any major credit or debit card if you wish to pay yearly. Payments can currently be made via PayPal* or Google Checkout

*No PayPal account required

Disk Space

We offer disk space from from 500mb up to a huge 10 GB to suit the size of your website. This is the amount of space you can use use to store your website files and images. You can upload your files using any FTP software or FrontPage.

Bandwidth

Every time someone visits your website they will use some of your data transfer allowance. For example if one of your web pages is 10 kilobytes in size (KB) and the images that are on that page are 90 KB then if someone visits your page they will use 100 KB of data. Your data transfer allowance is in megabytes (MB). Unlike many web hosting providers we do not believe in fining/suspending customers who use more than their allocation. If we believe your using excessively over your quota we will contact you to resolve the issue first.

30-day Money Back Guarantee

All our hosting packages come with a 30-day money back guarantee to give you peace of mind when ordering with us. Simply get in contact with us before 30 days since ordering have elapsed and well give you a full refund. You will recieve your full refund minus any costs for domain names and addons as we cannot cancel these once setup.

*Please note that money back on hosting packages with free domains will be recieved MINUS the cost of the domain name.

Free .co.uk Domain Name (only Yearly Advanced/Ultimate packages)

You need a domain name to link to your web hosting package so why not get one free! If you sign up to either our Advanced or Ultimate package for a year well give you a free .co.uk domain name of your choice for 2 years!! This domain name will be registered to you and not to us so its totally yours like all the domain names we sell.

Email Features

Free WebMail

We offer one of the most powerful and flexible WebMail systems. Features include your own address book, search features, customisable interface and scheduling. This feature can be used in conjunction with Mail Boxes.

Mail Boxes

This feature allows you to add mail boxes to your account. A mail box stores mail on our server until you download it using an email client like Outlook Express. We provide both POP3 and IMAP mailboxes in addition to a SMTP outgoing server.

Auto Responders

This feature allows an email address on your account to automatically respond with a specific message.

Mailing Lists

Email distribution lists allow you to have a simple form on your website with which your users can subscribe or unsubscribe their email address. You can then send an email to all members of the list using our simple system.

Mail Forwarding

This feature allows you to forward any email address @yourdomain.co.uk to any email address you choose, for example a hotmail or yahoo.com address. You can forward each address to up to three different addresses.

Catch-All E-mail

This feature allows you to forward ALL email from yourdomain.co.uk to any email address you choose, for example a hotmail or yahoo.com address.

Junk Mail Filters

Junk mail filters use special technology to strip out junk mail before you receive it. This feature also allows you to set an address to send the junk mail to so that you can check this address to ensure that only junk mail is being caught.

Website Statistics

Error Logs

This feature allows you to download your server access log as a zip file. You can then manipulate the file locally on your computer to get any specific data you need.

Webalizer Statistics

Webalizer is a highly powerful and easily configurable web site statistics package that analyses the access log files that we automatically create for your website.

AWStatistics

AWStats is a powerful and fully featured tool that generates advanced graphical web server statistics.

Counters

This feature allows you to add a plain text or graphical counter to your Website. You also get a full set of statistics for the page the counter is on.

Access Features

Master FTP

FTP allows you to transfer your website onto our server.

Additional FTP Accounts

Additional FTP accounts are most commonly used to give others access to an account for the purpose of sharing a web development project, without giving them control over the entire Website. By restricting their access to their home directory, you can ensure they can only modify files within this particular space.

Sub Domains

Sub domains allow you to have new web addresses for separate areas of your Website. For example you could have support.yourdomain.co.uk and point this at your yourdomain.co.uk/support/ directory. You can use sub domains in conjunction with additional FTP accounts, creating in effect simple hosting accounts with a sub domain and an additional FTP account.

SSH Server Access

SSH server access allows you to login directly to the server hosting your Website. You can manipulate your website files using Linux commands. This feature is for advanced users.

Database Features

MySQL Databases

MySQL is a true multi-user, multi-threaded SQL (Structured Query Language) database server. SQL is the most popular database language in the world. MySQL is a client/server implementation that consists of a server daemon (mysqld) and many different client programs and libraries.

MySQL Web Interface

You can access your MySQL database using the web-based phpMyAdmin software.

Control Features

Managing your web hosting account is simplicity itself using our control panel. You can setup e-mail accounts, FTP accounts, access Web Builder, view website statistics, install scripts and software and access your files. It is very simple to use and includes a searchable support section.

Shared Secure Server (SSL)

This feature allows you to accept data securely via your website using our special URL www.secure-secure.co.uk. Your secure web address will be:

This address points to the main folder on your website so you can make any document on your website secure. We offer this free of charge to all hosting clients!

Personalised Secure Server

Now you can have your own personalised secure server at a fantastic price. With your own secure server your customers can go to https://www.yourdomain.com instead of using our generic secure server service.

Once you have your own secure server, any files in your public_html directory can be called from your secure address.

This service is just £199 per year and includes all certificate fees.

osCommerce, Zen Cart and Cube Cart

osCommerce, Zen Cart and Cube Cart are free shopping cart solutions that includes many features including templates, customer logins and support for Paypal, Worldpay and other popular payment processors.

Extra Features

Google Sitemap Generator

Having your website listed in Google is vital. Google has a special tool called Google Sitemaps which generates a list of all the files on your website and sends them to Google. This allows Google to find all of your web pages and files.

The software to generate a Sitemap is quite complicated but we have made it really easy by integrating the software into our control panel. We would recommend everyone generates a Google sitemap and then re-generates it every time their site is updated.

To get started visit the "Website Reporting" section of your control panel.
