Web hosting is the service that makes your website visible to everyone on the internet.
Web hosting stores and displays your site's content on the internet, letting you tell the world about what you do !
Our super fast web hosting service also include all the tools for people to start a business, All of our hosting packages are bundled with our email service that allow you to set email addresses such as Alex@mywebsite.com .
Our control panel is built with simplicity in mind. Clear icons, labelled sections. Finding what you need is super fast and easy.
We don't think you can claim to be a web host if you don't support One Click Install Scripts for open source projects such as, WordPress. We make installing WordPress, and other products like Drupal and Joomla, super fast with our scripts , available in all our hosting packages.
WordPress now powers 30% of all sites on the internet. And with good reason. It can be a blog, small and medium business websites, E-commerce and much more.
Our platform grows with your website, the magic is really from our load balancers. There're constantly monitoring all requests into our network, when a website receives a large number of hits it is quickly isolated and moved to it's own dedicated server. This is raw hardware with no overhead at all. This isn't a typical single server platform like you might be used to at other web hosting companies. It's a Cloud Hosting platform which is clustered and load-balanced for best performance and redundancy, each area of the platform is isolated from one another such as database servers, web servers.

Uploading your site to our servers
Please note : We do offer free website migrations to our web hosting upon request. Please contact us via our contact page to do this.
Your first step in transferring your website(s) over to our servers is to upload the files themselves.
If you do not keep an offline version of your website, download your website to your computer via FTP ? if you do not know how to do this, contact your current host.
Then, log in to your control panel as described above and click on FTP Manager if you are familiar with FTP, or File Manager if not.
If you use file manager, you just select the files and folders from your site and upload them to our servers. If you choose FTP, use the settings given to you in the FTP Manager in your favourite FTP programme to upload your files.

By default, FTP is not accessible by the outside world. There are two options available for you to enable FTP, they are as follows:
We take security very seriously here at Alex Web Hosting, we hope you feel that the improved security for every customer on our network is worth the extra step required.
Domain registrations are queued, and there is often a short delay before registration completes. In addition, Domain registry databases can take between 24-48 hours to be updated. It is quite possible for your registration to have been successful, and have still have your domain appear on WHOIS or ``domain checkers`` as being available. If your domain is still not working after 48 hours, please contact support.
