As a widely supported platform, there are many options to install user created databases – at no cost – to further customise your proposed forum.

What is shared hosting?
With this type of hosting, there are more than one websites using a server and its resources. Often, each user will have a certain amount of resources allocated to them, but this can also be impacted by the use of the other sites in the server.
In general, shared hosting is a great option for people and sites that are just starting out. The maintenance and important tasks are all taken care of by us. You can concentrate on making your website the best it can be.
Do I have to know lots of technical information?
The short answer to this question is: no. We have a great customer support team who can help you through this process, from deciding what is the best option for you, all the way up to troubleshooting issues you might be having.
Obviously having some technical knowledge will help you out, but it’s by no means a necessity.
Do I need a domain name?
With Hosting.co.uk, you can continue to use your current domain name and website design and simply buy a web hosting plan to suit your requirements. Equally, if you don’t yet have one, you can register a new domain through us.

What are the benefits of shared hosting?
There are multiple upsides to this format. The first is the cost savings, this is the most economical model. The second is the ease with which this form can be upgraded to a larger package. Thirdly, you will not need any technical knowledge.
Are there any negatives?

Lastly, there is not much potential to customise the server towards your own particular needs.
