Frequently Asked Questions

• Why Choose Standard?

  Why Choose Standard

  We offer a wide selection of outstanding value website hosting plans. Choose from affordable Starter or Advanced web hosting plans to start with no setup fee and our 30 day money back guarantee.

  Do you have clients in the US, UK or Europe? Not a problem with our US and UK/Euro web hosting plans you can use our data centers in the UK and US for the fastest connectivity. Our Standard hosting is web hosting in which we serve pages for multiple web sites, each having its own Internet domain name, from a single web server.

  Our shared hosting is a less expensive way for businesses to create a web presence, it is usually not sufficient for web sites with high traffic; for these sites we provide our Cloud and Enterprise web hosting plans.

  We also offer reseller web site hosting. This package provides great value for web developers looking to host multiple low traffic websites under the same account for one low price.

  Are you tired of your current host and want to make a switch to Studyhost? We'll take out the stress in switching by moving all your accounts over to our server FREE of charge.
