A free Domain with every Hosting plan is just one of the reasons why our Hosting is better than most, but one of the features we're most proud of is the fantastic support our team provides.
When you move hosting to Namesco, you can relax in the knowledge that our teams are on hand to provide fast UK based technical support whenever you need it.
The 1980’s conjure up images of yuppies shouting into mobile phones the size of a brick and some very questionable fashions. At a time when many of us hadn’t even heard of the Internet the .COM extension was born and with it, a revolution that’s changed all of our lives. With .COM reaching its milestone 25th Anniversary this month, Verisign is launching a number of events and initiatives in celebration.
The first .COM domain name was registered back on March 16th 1985 (symbolics.com) and is today owned by domain investor, Aron Meystedt. This first .COM registration ignited the birth of the Internet and the rest as they say is history. Today there are over 80 million .COM domains in registration and still growing rapidly.
Namesco’s fully managed dedicated hosting range is synonymous with security, reliability and support. With our dedicated servers, we provide full management and install Parallels Plesk Control Panel. Installation of additional modules or configurations modifications are free. Our automated monitoring system alerts us to problems or potential problems, so that we can resolve or advise customers to resolve it where appropriate. We provide every customer with an account manager, to whom they have direct access by telephone and email.
Our Business range uses Intel Dual-Core processors and our Enterprise range uses low voltage Intel Xeon processors, with both ranges using green power hard drives in order to reduce power consumption and enable us to offer competitive pricing. We provide protection from spam using MAPS with popular IP blacklists and install scripts to prevent brute force attacks. Additional protection with anti-spam and anti-virus modules either on the server or via an external mail gateway is available as an optional extra.
Not everyone understands how to get the most out of a .tel domain. Very simply, .tel can be thought of as fantastically easy to use telephone directory. A .tel extension allows you to create a personalised or branded online presence without the need to buy hosting, develop web pages or purchase email accounts.
You could turn your own name into a personal home page in minutes, making it easy for friends and family or even clients to stay in touch. Just imagine, instead of searching around for your phone number, you could ask your friends to simply .tel you!
