Hosting Comparison

Some hosting companies seem to dazzle customers with high storage facilities whilst neglecting to let you know what speed your processes will actually get.

Random Access Memory is where people should look before looking at the storage options, will might site load quickly?

All our packages come with 3GB RAM as standard, our competitors don’t.

We want things to be fair and honest from the outset, our prices are not sign up gimmicks that cause you to fall into the trap of cheap singup at .99p followed by 10x as much a few months later after your site is built and it’s too much effort to move.

For the sake of comparison 1and1 offering unlimited is essentially untrue, their small print is copied below.
