You can also create your own backups in cPanel and download them to your computer for safekeeping.

Brontobytes also restores your website for free!

Having the right security for your website(s) and data is crucial.

Any Brontobytes Web Hosting or Business Hosting plan that you choose includes free DDoS protection, firewall protection, malware & virus scanning, and automatic IP blocking to keep the bad guys and hackers out.

You can also manually block IP addresses in your own cPanel.

Faster & better optimised

Business Hosting plans have more liberated server resources compared to Web Hosting plans, which give your website the means to accept way more simultaneous traffic while being much faster than Web Hosting plans, even if you have a heavy website. Great for eCommerce!

The higher your plan, the more server resources.

This includes:

- CPU Speed
- Memory (RAM)
- I/O
- IOPS
- EP
- NPROC

PHP-FPM

Get faster PHP performance compared to our Web Hosting plans. These Business Hosting plans include PHP-FPM optimisation for faster PHP performance. This means that your website will perform even faster.

Note: If a website overuses resources, such as when using heavy scripts or bad coding, and causes crashes, PHP-FPM will be disabled for that account.

Web Hosting plans

You can send up to 80 emails per hour, whether transactional emails or newsletters. Make sure to set up any software that you have to respect that limit or your emails will delay.

No spam and/or unsolicited emails allowed at any time.

Business Hosting plans

Prime Plan: 300 emails per hour (7,200/day).
Premium Plan: 600 emails per hour (14,400/day).
Enterprise Plan: 1000 emails per hour (24,000/day).

Our money back guarantee takes all the pressure out of your hosting decision. We’re confident that once you take our services for a spin, you will be here to stay.

If your SSD VPS hosting server experience isn’t everything you hoped it would be or if you are not fully satisfied for any reason, we will give you a refund right away for the unused days left in that month. This means that if you are a new client and you have used our VPS for 5 days out of your first month with us, and then request a cancellation, we would refund the amount equal to the remaining days of that month, e.g., 25 days.

In this business, our clients come first and we strive for your happiness!
