Web Hosting accounts

A Web Hosting account is the most affordable way to have a permanent online presence. You take full control of both the content of your web site, and your email addresses. We take responsibility for hosting them on our powerful servers, which are located in secure data centres, with excellent connectivity to the rest of the Internet. We offer Web Hosting accounts in a range of different sizes to suit your needs, and you can easily upgrade as you grow.

Many popular PHP applications can be hosted with a Mythic Beasts Web Hosting account. For example, you can host sites using packages such as Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla, or MediaWiki. For even more flexibility, you can add shell access to give you direct access to the Linux command line for your hosting account (using the ssh secure shell protocol). This gives you full CGI access, and opens up options such as running cron jobs, and using alternative mailing list managers. A hosting account with shell access is the perfect low-cost environment for developing new web products, easily expandable to a virtual or real dedicated server as your needs grow.

To order a Mythic Beasts Web Hosting account, please use this order form. A summary price list is also available. If you have any questions, please email us.

Virtual Dedicated Servers

Our Web Hosting accounts, especially with the addition of shell access, are flexible enough to run almost all popular packages, or to develop your own. But they do not give you complete freedom to choose your own operating system and software. If that is important to you, you should consider our Virtual Dedicated Servers.

Dedicated Servers

We use high end hardware for our Web Hosting services, but they are shared servers, and so performance cannot be guaranteed. If that is important to you, you should consider our Dedicated Servers.
