We work to make our entire operations easier for our clients and this also applies to our methods of payment. Working to make your monthly or annual payment of fees as stress free as possible, here at UKHost4U our ability to present the right payment options is yet another ability that lends itself to the overall expert service you receive with us. We accept PayPal and all major credit and debit cards. MasterCard, Solo, Visa, Visa Electron, Maestro and American Express.
The easiest way to make a one-off payment for an invoice by credit/debit card or PayPal is via our online payment gateway:

Alternatively if we have credit/debit card details on file we will take payment automatically on the due date of the invoice. To make sure your card details are up to date, please log in to our billing system:
Your default login credentials for the billing system are included in your welcome email. If the invoice is overdue please contact us to inform us that payment details have been updated.
Yes you can request a password reset using this form. Please note that we can only issue password resets to the email address we have on file in our billing system so it is important to keep this up to date.
General
At present we have suspended our web development services while we focus on improving our own technology and providing the best web hosting service possible. As we continue to improve on what are already fantastic services, we will be aiming to resume our additional web development services, providing what will be the complete hosting and optimisation package as an option for our clients and customers. Keep visiting us for any future updates on our reintroduction of additional services.

Operating out of Maidenhead and Milton Keynes, BlueSquare Data, acquired by hosting giants Lumison provides purpose built storage capabilities for an insurmountable size of data, providing some of the very best server services that are expertly maintained.

Most of our website hosting plans come with a choice of Linux or Windows operating systems and many customers are confused as to which is the best option. However, the decision can be quite simple by considering the following questions.
- Do you require the ability to run ASP/ASP.net scripts (hint: such scripts often have the file extensions .asp or .aspx)?
- Do you require MS SQL database support?
- Do you require any other Windows only technology?
- Do you prefer to use a Plesk control panel to manage your hosting account?
If you answer yes to any of the above then Windows hosting is the option for you but otherwise you may find our Linux web hosting plans easier to manage, maintain and of course cheaper!
