Web Space

Web space is the part of your service that determines just how much information you can upload to your web site. Files, documents, images and web pages all come in different shapes and sizes. The size and volume of files you plan to upload will determine the amount of web space you will need. You can upload all sorts of files from plain text and images to high resolution images, databases, and online shops.

Monthly Bandwidth

Bandwidth determines how many people can actually view your website. The more you have, the more people can view your site successfully at any one time. For basic sites, bandwidth shouldn't be an issue, but the more pictures, PDFs, large web pages etc you include in your site, the more bandwidth will be used. Our Content management system allows you to dynamically generate PDF files from your html files.

FTP Accounts

FTP accounts allow you to upload information your web space. Each hosting package comes with one secure FTP account. Your FTP details are given to you upon purchase.

Daily Backups

We back up your websites every day, so you need never worry that your data will be lost but we always advise our customers to keep a local copy of their website for their own peace of mind. My hosting providers charge extra for this!

PHP, CGI, Perl Python

Scripting languages allowing you various options and alternatives when developing forms of interaction on your website i.e. mail forms, database interaction, calendars etc. At anthonybarlow.com we try to have the latest, the most secure and the most stable versions of these languages preinstalled on our servers.

MySQL Database

This popular databasing software allowing you to create and manage databases and tables quickly and easily. Using a database opens up a bundle of new possibilities including building your own mailing list, developing an online catalogue, building a content management system and storing customer / client information. We ourselves use this database.

Custom Errors Pages

A small but customer friendly alternative to the common "page cannot be found" error that often appears on websites. Our custom error page feature allows you to customise your site's errors pages using your own site template and style.

Domain Name

All our web hosting packages come with a top level domain domain name such as co.uk, .com, .net, .info and .org.

DNS Management

The domain name system (DNS) is the way that Internet domain names are located and translated into Internet Protocol addresses. A domain name is a meaningful and easy-to-remember "handle" for an Internet address.

MX Record Control

Short for mail exchange record, an entry in a domain name database that identifies the mail server that is responsible for handling e-mails for that domain name. When more than one MX record is entered for any single domain name that is using more than one mail server, the MX record can be prioritized with a preference number that indicates the order in which the mail servers should be used. This enables the use of primary and backup mail servers.

Sub Domains

With our Web Hosting services, you have the ability to create unlimited sub-domains. A sub domain is also known as a "third-level" domain, and is a great way to create memorable web addresses for various areas of your site without the cost of new domains. For instance your web address is www.funkyfriends.com, and you created a sub-domain for your friend, Paul. After you set it up, the address would be Paul.funkyfriends.com. This would go to a different area of your site. You can create sub domains for co-workers, family members, or to build separate sub-sites

POP3 Mailboxes

Online mailboxes to store your mail. You can configure your mail client (Outlook etc.) to download mail from this mailbox, or you can simply access your mailbox through our webmail service.

Webmail

Access your email anytime, anywhere. Our webmail interface can be accessed through any web browser at any time of the day. You simply need your login details to access it. Webmail allows you to check your mail even when you're out the office!

Email Forwarding

Email forwarding allows you to point emails sent to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to a preferred mail account of your choice

Email Aliases

An email alias allows you to create several alternative email addresses to point to your main mailbox. For instance, your main mailbox might be This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . You could then setup aliases such as info@ and enquiry@ to point to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Catch all Facility

The catch all facility allows you to setup one mail account on your domain that will catch all email sent to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . So, for example, with this setup, any emails sent to info@, enquiry@ or SomethingElse@ your domain, will all be held in the catch all account

Mail Auto responders

Our Auto responders allow you to set up an automatic response on any of your mailboxes. If you are going to be out of the office or away from your mail, then through mail auto responders, you can setup friendly auto replies letting people know when you will be able to reply.

Anti Virus Scanning

Our Anti virus scanning automatically scans all your incoming email for harmful virus and then quarantines them in your quarantine area for review.

Spam Filtering

Our spam filtering software uses artificial intelligence to learn your email behavior. It successfully blocks 99.9% of incoming spam messages with less that 0.1% false positives. All spam messages are quarantined in your quarantine areas. Any spam message that fall through the trap can be forwarded back to the filter so that it can then relearn what is new spam and vica-versa for wrongly identified false positives. Almost every other hosting service generally provide a very basic spam filtering service.

Phishing Filter

Our filtering system is also used to detect phishing emails that may want to steal personal information such as bank or credit card details. Phishing emails appear regularly in the newspaper.
