Lightyear Hosting

Lightyear Hosting is a web hosting and web design service that allows people and businesses to create attractive and professional websites using our website builder. You can create a website within minutes, and no programming knowledge is required.

Our qualified web designers can create you a high-end website designed for getting found in Google and Bing. We optimise your content to get easily found by people looking for the services you offer, and aim to get you to the top of the search results. We also create your pages direct website visitors to contacting you or purchasing your products or services.

If you preferred you can also create your own website using our website builder. We offer a large collection of websites builders, including WordPress, the most popular website builder on the planet. Over 75,000,000 (75 million) websites are created using WordPress, and one third (1/3) of websites are made with WordPress.

WordPress is a website builder that requires no programming knowledge of technical skill. You can choose from over 57,000+ plugins, features, and extensions to blossom your website. Every website created in WordPress is mobile-friendly and designed to look great in search engines like Google and Bing.

We also use the best web hosting technology available to ensure that your website displays at the fastest speed possible for your website visitors. We use storage technology known as SSD's which can operate up to 17x faster than regular mechanical hard-drive storage. Many of our competitors currently use hard-drives to run their websites from, generally because they're more affordable technology, however they operate at a much slower performance than electronic drives.

We offer three (3) websites plans for you to build a great website with, and each website plan allows you to create your own personalised, custom branded email address. When you email your customers or potential clients, they can have the confidence that you mean business and are who you say you are by your email address branding your website name, e.g. [email protected]. Websites that use free email addresses are generally considered unprofessional and untrustworthy by a large percentage of people over an email that represents your brand. Email hosting is included free or charge with our web hosting packages, and we recognise that other hosting services that charge for email hosting by itself separately charge around the same price as we for our entire service. Our prices are VERY competitive.

Furthermore, every website you create gets access to a free SSL certificate. Again, this is generally a feature that most other services charge approximately $50 | £40 for. In England, privacy is a fundamental human right, and we consider that everybody should have the right to privacy and great security. Understanding that SSL security certificates protect your website from hackers and data theft, we consider it not a 'luxury' to include with our service, but in fact a necessity. Additionally, having an SSL website also means that your website will be more respected by Google and other search engines. Websites beginning with 'https' instead of 'http' are likely to appear higher in the Google search results, giving them a change of gaining more popularity than their competitors.

One of our best-recognised aspects as a business is that our 'Business' and 'Unlimited' website plans offer unlimited storage/web space and unlimited bandwidth. We literally do not cap, restrict or meter the amount of storage or bandwidth you use. So, however large or popular your website becomes, we won't increase your yearly hosting bill nor restrict or limit your access to our services. You are provided full and unrestricted access to your own flexible, powerful, yet easy-to-use control panel.

With your Control Panel, you can install website plans like WordPress, Joomla, AbanteCart, phpBB, Drupal, etc. or upload your files; you can also do this using an FTP program like FileZilla, etc. (this is also know as an FTP client). Again, no programming or technical skills are required to do this. You can also block people from certain locations, countries, and IPs from viewing your website. Using your Control Panel, you can also, create, access, and remove multiple email accounts each with a whopping 10GB storage to ensure you never run out of space.

If you ever get stuck or need help, we also provide around-the-clock technical support from our qualified and fully-trained technical team and web designers. We also create video support tutorials based on questions that you ask that we haven't already answered to ensure that anybody else in the future seeking help on the same issue can easily acquire help when needed from the same video.

Lightyear Hosting focus on customer loyalty, and dedicate ourselves to providing a complete service that equips people with everything they need to get online without any hassle or learning curve.
