Environmentally Friendly

We understand our customers’ concerns about the environmental impact of their hosting, and we share their commitment to ensuring that their own internet operations not harm the environment.

Fully Scalable

We can provide you with the additional bandwidth, storage space, and performance as your needs grow over time. Upgrading to a new hosting plan is simple, and our in-house experts are here to make it simple for you.

We Respect Your Time

Go ahead, compare us to other hosting companies. We know your time is important, and that’s why we don’t fill your inbox or clutter your control panel with advertising materials.

Easy to Use

Full control over your website is at your finger tips. With cPanel, you’ve got access to all of the tools you need to maintain your web properties.

No Hidden Limitations

Many shared web hosts put artificial limits on what you can do in order to force you to upgrade your account. Not us. POP3/IMAP Mail Accounts, MySQL Databases, Mailing Lists, Email Forwarders, Subdomains, Parked and Addon Domains & FTP Accounts are included with every hosting plan.

Powerful Control Panel

Pointhost gives all accounts access to the leading control panel software on the market: cPanel. This powerful package puts control of your entire site at your finger tips. Using the Softaculous script installer, you can quickly and easily add features such as message boards and news scripts.

Daily Backups

Automated daily backups insure that your data is safe against calamity. Your website and information are safely stored and can be retrieved whenever they are needed.

Automatic Script Installation

Using the Softaculous automatic script installer, installing new additions to your site couldn’t be easier. With just a few clicks you can have a working message board, content management system, or even a full internet store set up in seconds, rather than hours.

Advanced Email Services

E-mail accounts are available with every Pointhost hosting account. You can send and receive via your favorite email program. Webmail is also provided with your choice of 2 webmail systems, Horde and SquirrelMail, to allow you to access your email from just about anywhere. Mailing lists and email forwarders are also standard with every account, allowing you to better manage and filter your email.
