Our Managed Hosting to suit your needs

Web hosting is ideal for small to medium-sized websites, blogs and online shops with moderate traffic. However, if your project is growing, has higher performance requirements, or you need custom server configurations, a managed cloud server is the better choice. You’ll receive dedicated resources without being affected by other users, whilst we take care of all the administration.

Question: What is the benefit of a user limit on shared hosting servers, such as those quoted by SpeedIT Solutions?

Answer: The user limit specifies the maximum number of customers that can be hosted on a server. This has the following advantages:

• Optimised resource allocation: Fewer users on a server means more resources available per customer. This can have a positive impact on your website’s performance.

• Stability & reliability: A server with a limited number of customers is less likely to experience resource bottlenecks or conflicts between websites, resulting in a more stable hosting experience.

• Enhanced security: A server with fewer customers is less likely to be targeted by DDoS attacks. As there are fewer users who could potentially carry out malicious actions, the overall risk is reduced.

• Prevention of email blacklisting: A limited number of customers reduces the likelihood of the server being misused for sending spam emails. This reduces the risk of emails sent from the server ending up on blacklists and failing to be delivered.

• Predictable performance: With fewer customers sharing server resources, performance is more consistent and predictable.

To ensure optimum performance and security, SpeedIT Solutions offers a range of hosting packages tailored to different customer requirements, from Economy to Premium.

Question: How do you improve email security for hosted domains?

Answer: To ensure the security and authenticity of your email communications, we implement three key technologies: SPF (Sender Policy Framework), DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) and DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance).

SPF records: Our servers automatically check the SPF record of the email sender. SPF is a DNS record that specifies which mail servers are authorised to send emails on behalf of your domain. This prevents the forgery of email sender addresses. A valid SPF record is set up by default for every domain hosted with us to protect your domain from misuse and improve the deliverability of your emails.

DKIM: In addition to SPF, we also use DKIM. DKIM adds a digital signature to your email, which can be verified using a public key stored in your domain’s DNS. This signature confirms that the email actually originates from your domain and has not been tampered with in transit. DKIM plays a key role in strengthening trust in your email communications.

DMARC records: DMARC uses SPF and DKIM to verify the authenticity of emails. It sets out guidelines on how to handle emails that fail these checks and provides reports highlighting suspicious activity. For your domain hosted with us, we set up a DMARC record as standard to further enhance the security of your emails.

By combining SPF, DKIM and DMARC, we strengthen the authenticity, integrity and trust in your email communications, protect your domain from misuse and enhance the overall security of your online communications.

We prioritise the highest possible level of security for our shared hosting servers. To achieve this, we start right at the core and offer our hosting on servers running Linux Debian.

In addition to the operating system, we implement optimisations through isolated file systems. For security at the application level, we utilise a high-quality WAF (Web Application Firewall) and virus/malware protection.

For anyone seeking enhanced protection, we offer professional threat protection provided by one of the largest security service providers on the market. This enables us to detect and block a range of additional threats before they even reach the server.

Can I add domains from external providers to my hosting plan?

Yes, our customers can add domains from external providers to our hosting plans free of charge. This allows you to keep your existing domain with an external domain provider whilst still benefiting from our first-class hosting services.

Can I use SSL certificates for my domains, even if they are from an external provider?

Yes, you can use SSL certificates for any domain included in your hosting plan, regardless of whether it is managed in-house or comes from an external provider.

What types of SSL certificates are supported?

We offer a wide range of options for SSL certificates:

• Let’s Encrypt: A free, automatically renewed certificate that is suitable for most websites.

• Commercial certificates: You can purchase these through us or a third-party provider; they often offer advanced features or insurance cover.

• Self-signed certificates: Although they are not recommended for public websites, as browsers classify them as untrusted, they can be useful for testing purposes or internal applications.

• External certificates: If you already have an SSL certificate from another provider, you can easily use it with your hosting plan.

To install or manage an SSL certificate, simply navigate to the ‘SSL Certificates’ section in your KeyHelp dashboard and follow the instructions.

We always recommend prioritising the security of your website and using a trusted SSL certificate to encrypt data traffic between your website and your visitors.

With the help of the one-click installer, you can install your chosen CMS quickly and easily with just a few clicks via our hosting system. It supports many popular CMS systems. This saves you a lot of time and hassle.

Absolutely! In addition to our high-performance server and hosting products, we offer specially developed solutions to enhance the performance and security of your digital presence.

With our Content Delivery Network (CDN), we optimise the delivery of your content worldwide, leading to a significant improvement in loading times and, consequently, the user experience.

At the same time, our Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) enhances the security of your website or application by proactively fending off advanced threats and cyber-attacks before they reach your server.

The combination of CDN and WAAP therefore not only guarantees improved performance but also comprehensive protection against increasingly complex cyber threats. By integrating these services into your hosting package, you are paving the way for a more secure and high-performing digital future.

We carry out an incremental backup every night; by default, this is retained for 5 days for each hosting account. From this incremental backup, we can restore databases, emails, directories or individual files. Restoration is provided free of charge via our support team.

Extended backup periods (14 days or 30 days) are available as an option. Longer periods are possible upon consultation.
