Unlimited Bandwidth? When your site loads it uses a small amount of processing power (CPU) and RAM. Did you know all hosting companies who offer unlimited hosting have in their T&C that you can't use more than XX% of the processor and when you hit that limit your account is suspended? Scary eh? Legally we would be allowed to state our hosting comes with unlimited bandwidth (as many of our competitors do) but it's just not 100% true. We have calculated that approx 1.5GB of bandwidth per hour will use over 5% of the CPU on the server. Whats does this mean? If you go over 5%, you will be asked to upgrade to a VPS server or we'd explain how you can lower your CPU usage. This principle is the same for any company offering unlimited bandwidth. The difference with us is that we're being honest about it. That said to use 1.5GB of bandwidth, you would need some serious visitors (we dont even use that much!) |

UK Web Hosting, you get what you pay for!
All hosting companies have a certain amount of resources at their disposal, it's how they use these resources that creates the price difference. For example: two companies offer 6GB of bandwidth, one will cram as many people onto a server as possible whilst the other will have a cap on how many people they want on the server. The one with the cap will usually have a percentage of spare bandwidth to allow for any sudden surge in traffic - the cheaper option won't. This means if suddenly a site gets a massive amount of people visiting it, the server with the cap can use it's spare resources to accommodate this, the cheaper server struggles and sometimes crashes / needs rebooting thus your website goes offline/slows down with everyone else's stuck on the server.
So now you know roughly how a server works and how cheap hosting isnt the way forward, but what can Squirrel Hosting offer?
What do you get for your hard earned money?
In short, good honest value, reliable servers and fantastic technical support.
Squirrel Hosting is a Sheffield company and if you're from Yorkshire you know 'us Yorkshire folk' like to keep things simple and honest. This is why we offer you everything we possibly can in each hosting package without pushing the prices up. We know others like to charge more for databases or ftp access but it costs us virtually nothing to offer some of our services and as such we dont charge extra. Anything that costs us more to setup/run is put in a higher package so you never end up paying for someone else's needs.
