Some frequently asked questions about hosting with Ravensloft...
Q.Do I have to have one of the hosting plans advertised?
A. No. 'The Hosting Plans' are there for a quick and easy set up, created to cover the basic needs of hosting a website.
We can create a customised package, depending on your requirements.
Q.Do I have to have my website hosted with you if you design it?
A. Again, no. Hosting a site designed by us, with us, does make it easier and quicker to perform site updates and add additional
services, but there is no reason why a site by us shouldn't be somewhere else. Hosting with Ravensloft does however, give you
value added services and access to the whole solution, rather than just part of it. The care and attention we pay to designing a site
is transferred to the hosting of it and we like to think that both of these aspects combined make the perfect solution.
Q. What am I Allowed to host?
A. Almost anything. We do not allow the hosting of Pornography, MP3's or WAREZ. Everything else is fine, but if a complaint is made
against a site we host, it will be suspended pending an enquiry.
Q.Is there a discount for a registered Charity?
A. Yes. If you are a registered Charity and have a valid Registered Charity number, we will host a site for a small one-off
administration fee and waive the ongoing charges.
Q.How many sub Domains can I have?
A. As many as you like. There is no restriction.
Q.How big can my website be?
A. As big as you want. As mentioned previously - there are no disk size limits, so your web site can grow as big as you can make it,
removing the worry of working out how much space you have left before you upload a new page or content.
Q.My site will generate a lot of data traffic. Is that a problem?
A. Not at all. We have wide bandwidth to accommodate even the most demanding sites.
