The Initial Account is our most basic hosting package and is ideally suited for those currently wanting a minimal web presence - or perhaps a basic email-only account.

The account includes 20 MB of web space and 2 GB of bandwidth per month - this should be sufficient for a small basic web site - for only £19.99 per year!

Initial Account - Specifications 20 MB of web space. 2 GB bandwidth per month. 1 POP3 Mailbox. Webmail. Control Panel (cPanel). 1 FTP account. PHP5. CGI-BIN. Autoresponders. Email filters. Anti-Spam filters. Secure Server access. Web Statistics. Counters. Custom Error Pages. Password Protection. Accessible Backups. Plus much more...

The web space allocation includes both the web site files and also POP3 mailbox storage. You can determine how to share the space between the two by allocating a maximum size to the mailbox, e.g 5 MB - with the rest being available to the web site. This can easily be achieved using the mailbox features of cPanel.

If you think that you are likely to receive large email attachments, or the site will use a lot of large images, we would recommended that you purchase a Simple hosting account instead - as this comes with 50 MB of web space and 4 GB of bandwidth per month.

As with all our hosting accounts, it is easy to upgrade / downgrade your account at any time - just contact us to find out more!
