UKHost4U – a UK web hosting company offering competitive hosting packages, website building and dedicated/virtual server solutions to businesses across Britain, speak of their latest improvements as they undertake the migration of their shared hosting accounts to new, improved CloudLinux based servers.
The move comes as UKHost4U take positive steps to further reinforce the security for their clients, with the end result offering a more reliable experience with the performance to match. Working to migrate all of their client’s cPanel shared hosting accounts, currently on their apple.ukhost4u.com cPanel server to the new servers, the process will take only a short while to complete, meaning a smoother service for clients who currently share server space with other websites.
Shared hosting, shared services or virtual hosting is a popular choice for businesses looking for a cost effective solution when hosting their website and/or emails. It basically is the name given when numerous websites share the same server, allowing hosting costs to be significantly reduced when compared to dedicated or virtual private servers. Personal websites, small business sites and such forth are commonplace on shared servers, as usually their hosting requirements fit easily within the parameters offered by a shared server.
With any shared web server, there can be issues, such as bandwidth, memory and CPU cycles if the server is oversold. UKHost4U’s decision to migrate their clients currently located on their existing shared servers will eliminate any such issues, offering increased performance and other benefits already listed above. As even the smaller websites begin to make use of the many different features available with web hosting packages, the move is a safeguard for UKHost4U’s client base and essential for further growth within the company.
A spokesperson for UKHost4U had this to say regarding the move:
“As we do not anticipate any disturbances or interruptions to our services during the migration, the move should be brief. The only possible point to bring to our client’s attention is that as the move involves the changing of the IP address, there will be a few things our customers will have to be aware of.”
Those domains whose nameservers are not currently set to UKHost4U will require manual updating of their DNS records via their DNS provider. There are also some points to bring to light, such as the running scripts on some PHP websites which are all addressed on UKHost4U’s blog that can be easily located via their website. One last point to make aware to current clients is UKHost4U’s decision to cease supporting Frontpage extensions on new servers; more information on this can be located via their website too.
UKHost4U continue to provide highly cost efficient web server solutions, all of which can be viewed at www.ukhost4u.co.uk today.
