cPanel Hosting
All of our UK web hosting servers run cPanel, the industry leading software used for administrating your web hosting account.
With cPanel you can perform previously complicated tasks such as creating email accounts, adding domains, etc. with the few clicks of your mouse via any web browser.
You can try a working demo version at cPanel.net.
Instant Setup
When you register with Farbyte for your UK web hosting package, you won't have to wait around before getting your website underway.
We deploy our shared web hosting packages the instant payment is authorised, which is normally within a few seconds, to a couple of minutes after checkout.
Your login details will be emailed straight away!
Antivirus Protection
Each and every account on our shared web hosting servers is protected from virus attack around the clock.
This includes all the email accounts you create, ensuring that yourself, friends and family won't be infected by any email borne viruses via your hosted account.
At Farbyte we take your website security seriously.
Apache With PHP5
At Farbyte we use the Apache web server with PHP5. This is the most common combination of webserver and scripting for hosting websites.
cPanel Control Panel
Your web hosting account comes complete with access to the excelent cPanel control panel software.
Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)
Farbyte's servers and infrastructure are monitored and protected by the latest, state of the art IPS systems.
Unlimited Websites
With every shared hosting package we provide the facility to add an unlimited number of domains to your account, without any extra charge. This includes new domain names and sub-domains (e.g. subdomain.domain1.com)
For example, you could register for a hosting package with domain1.com, then using cPanel to administer your web hosting account, add further domains, such as domain2.com, domain3.com, etc.
Unlike many other shared UK web hosting services, Farbyte gives you the freedom to build new websites whenever you need.
MySQL Databases
We use MySQL databases on all our UK web hosting accounts. Unlike many UK hosting providers, each and every one of our shared UK web hosting packages has access to at least one database and often many more.
Access to a database system such as MySQL is essential if you want to run an ecommerce website or use web applications such as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, etc.
Many other UK web hosting providers sell cheap hosting packages without access to a database system, in the knowledge that you will need to upgrade to a more expensive package very soon.

This service is available if you currently have any of the following hosting control panels:
- cPanel

If you are not sure which control panel you currently have, contact us and we'll check.
We can also offer support assistance with account moves from other hosting companies that are not using any of the above control panels.
In any case, simply open a support ticket asking for an 'Account Migration'.
No Gimmicks or Contracts!
The UK web hosting industry is full of gimmicks and tricks in an attempt to get clients to sign-up.
At Farbyte we won't try to hoodwink you into buying an account by hiding resource allocations in jargon and tricks like many other UK web hosting providers do.
You get exactly the resource allocations you sign up for. No hidden tricks, like limiting email box sizes or database sizes, etc. that you will find all too often in the small print of other hosting providers.
There are also no recurring, lock-in contracts that are difficult to get out of. You just tell us that you want to cancel your hosting and we won't send you another bill.
Our web hosting is the way hosting should be. No hassel, fast, reliable and flexible.
