Web Hosting

Web Hosting plans allocate the Client’s website to one or more servers. Resources on these servers are shared among multiple customers.

Managed Support

Managed Support plans are monthly subscription services providing root/administrative access, along with Plesk or cPanel. ACTIVE COMPUTERS UK LIMITED performs core patching, security monitoring, and backups. Additional configurations or installations may incur extra fees.

Hosting Backup

Hosting Backup plans store website content weekly and databases daily. Storage limits may apply depending on the selected plan. Backup and restore services are included with certain hosting plans and may be available for other plans for an additional fee. Backup services provided as part of a Hosting subscription will terminate upon cancellation of the Hosting subscription.
