How is Premium Hosting different to traditional web hosting?

Traditional hosting packages are used in exactly the same way as our Premium packages. Server administration is not an issue as this is completed for you, while both plans use cPanel software to manage your package and settings. However, there is one huge difference which is in how they are constructed. With traditional packages, performance is restricted as system resources are shared with other users. With a Premium Hosting package, all system resources are dedicated to you, so you are not sharing with anyone else. This gives a huge difference in performance for your websites, allowing lightning-fast page browsing speeds and means that your website can handle far more visitors. This is ideal for mission-critical websites that receive variations in monthly traffic, and means Premium Hosting is more reliable than traditional web hosting.

What can I do with it?

You can create just about any sort of website you can think of. Our Premium Hosting plans can handle any type of website. Even large, highly demanding or high traffic sites are no problem. You can even host more than one website on the same package.

Do I need technical stuff to use it?

Although it will definitely help if you have some basic technical knowledge, you can easily access most features using the intuitive cPanel interface. If you’ve never used hosting services before, don’t worry as our knowledgeable support staff are on-hand to assist via telephone and live chat. Furthermore, our detailed support site provides straightforward instructions about every aspect of your package to help get you started.

How do I activate my free SSL certificate?

Your SSL certificate will be automatically installed once you’ve assigned a primary domain to your Hosting package. For further details, please visit our Support article: How to activate my free SSL certificate.

Can I buy Premium Hosting without a domain name?

Yes, you can purchase this package without a domain name. However, a domain is required in order for it to function correctly. Thankfully, every package comes with 3 free domains included.

I already own a domain name. Can I use it with my Premium Hosting?

If the domain name is already registered with 123 Reg and you’re not currently using it with another one of our services, you can add it to your package when you order. If your domain is hosted with another company, there are two ways to use it with your hosting: Transfer it to 123 Reg, then associate it with your Premium Hosting. Most web hosts will allow you to transfer domain names to us – you’ll need to wait for the transfer to complete before you can use it. This could take a few days. Leave the domain name where it is, and point it at your hosted site on 123 Reg. You’ll still need to register a domain name when you host your site with us (every site hosted with us must be linked to a domain held with us), but because you get 3 free domains included with your package, this won’t cost you.

Is there a minimum contract period?

You can pay for your Premium Hosting on either a monthly or annual basis.

How does the money back guarantee work?

If you decide that this package isn’t right for you, you can take advantage of our 30 day money back guarantee. Simply call us or raise a ticket, state your reasoning and we’ll refund what you paid – excluding the cost of registering any domain names you have, because domains can’t be “unregistered” once you’ve chosen them.
