How long have you been around
You can be check the domain details for securehotel.org.uk (Registered on: 05-Jul-2002 Renewal date:  05-Jul-2008) We have been around since 2000 though!

How do you fund these projects?
Most of our sites are hosted on what is called "404 traffic" servers or in the case of our larger clients on their own VPS or dedicated server that they pay for. We of course also use google advertising and my own generosity. Basic hosting is normally always free with "pay as you grow" add on's.

Do you do special deals?
Why don't you ask.

I want a larger site/more features a new template
Again, ask and you might receive!

Can my friend host with you?
Well, providing it is legal in the UK & the USA, e.g. - no illegal porn, no Spam and no remote intrusion attacking (hacking) then they should fill out the free hosting request form.

Do you dump accounts for no reason?
No, even unused accounts I give them a few months but will always email you and say is everything ok, or you can Spam, or even shell scripts are banned on this server. So far this year I have suspended 4 accounts and in the case of obvious naughty people 'Terminated' 7 accounts without notice.

I need help! How do we get in touch?
Use the forum, email me or try the IM systems provided by Yahoo/AOL/ICQ

Why are you such a security freak!
Apart from my years in Loss Prevention, I know the feeling of having my site hacked in previous years and the pain/time/heartache it can cause so I watch what goes on and advise where I can.

Where can I send complaints or compliments too
Any of my email addresses.

What can I do for you?
Apart from use and promote my webspace, you can always help with graphics work as I am naff at doing them! Suggest new ideas or things you want to see.
