Read the small print for those hidden hosting and domain charges!

It seems that there are some great deals out there at the moment, but be warned you need to read the small print. You may notice that some hosting providers are offering very cheap domains and hosting packages, which on the surface look great value. However, it’s worth checking the small print or in other words the terms and conditions. Once you’ve purchased your very cheap domain and hosting try making a DNS change, most of our competitors will charge you €10.00. Basically then anything you request will be charged for.

Now we need to be fair here, because Hosting Ireland will charge you for certain additional services. One example worth checking is if Whois Privacy Protection for your domain is included in the price? Often the answer is no, so there is an extra charge if you want your details excluded from the Whois Public Directory.

So our advice is spend a few more minutes before you buy and check what you are getting for your money.

We sponsor Hotline.ie to help combat child pornography…

Hosting Ireland Sponsor Hotline.ieAs a responsible web hosting company we do all we can to ensure we only host legal content. This has been at the heart of Hosting Ireland’s ethos since we started doing business 10 years ago. We also go beyond this and sponsor Hotline.ie which is a free anonymous service which allows internet users to report content that they feel maybe illegal. See below the press release detailing the launch of the latest Hotline.ie report…

Hotline.ie 2012 | Annual Report – Covering Jan to Dec 2011

Report shows record lows in illegal content encountered online in 2011
Minister of State for Primary Care in the Health Department Róisín Shortall T.D. to launch Annual Report of Hotline.ie on Monday 16th July 2012.

In 2011, reports received by the Hotline where the content was assessed to be probably illegal under Irish law fell by a colossal 50.5% on the previous year, which according to General Manager Paul Durrant, suggests that international concerted efforts to combat child pornography online are making headway. This is highlighted in the Annual Report of the Hotline.ie service, which details the activities of the service during the period 1st January through 31st December 2011.

Hotline.ie has seen a huge decrease in reports assessed as referring to illegal child pornography in the year. This number fell from 183 unique illegal reports in 2010 to 83 in 2011. The number of unique child pornography reports is now at its lowest since 2001. Given that overall reporting to the Hotline has been similar to previous years, this outcome is yet another welcome indication that the average Internet user is not encountering content they suspect to be illegal as frequently as occurred in the past. This may be due to changes in the average web browsers’ habits which now largely revolve around social networking services where this type of content is not freely happened upon. Internet users, and in particular users of technologies such as peer-to-peer, are encouraged to be vigilant and report content they encounter online which they suspect to be illegal to Hotline.ie.

In April 2011, the arrest of a Bulgarian school teacher sharing child pornography online resulted directly from the police investigation initiated as a result of a report to Hotline.ie. The Hotline Analyst traced an IP address in Bulgaria from which a video of a scene involving boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 12 years old engaging in sexual activity. Technical information was transmitted from Hotline.ie to their Bulgarian counterparts making it possible for the Bulgarian Cybercrime Unit to match the dynamic IP address where the illegal activity occurred, to one specific physical address, identifying the user as a 34 year old school teacher in the city of Plovdiv who had been teaching geography to pupils from 12 to 15 years of age. The individual was arrested and during the search in his home a large quantity of child pornography involving mainly pre-pubescent girls was discovered and confiscated as evidence. He was charged with possession and distribution of child pornography.

Hotline.ie is now in its 13th year and continues in its drive to curtail the criminal misuse of the Internet and, in particular, to prevent the online exchange of horrifying images and videos of the sexual abuse of children worldwide. The Hotline.ie Annual Report is a comprehensive insight into this campaign. Hotline.ie is a service run by Internet Service Providers Association of Ireland and co-funded by the European Union.

The full report will be published online at:

Our New Website – Hosting Ireland in the Cloud

We thought it was time to update our website and logo. For those of you that were familiar with the old logo you will see that the new logo is a digitised evolution of the old one. The new website design really says what Hosting Ireland is all about – ‘Hosting Ireland’. The site is easy for customers to use with a new menu structure and lots of new products now clearly presented.

Some of the new Hosting products we’d like to mention:

All our shared hosting is now Cloud, using the latest technology to deliver real customer benefits of improved uptime and business continuity. Our Cloud Lite+ hosting offers databases and more bandwidth over our old Lite Hosting package and you still get 25% of your domain price offering outstanding value. The Cloud Business+ offers more bandwidth, databases, email accounts and 50% off your domain price. Cloud Ultima still offers bags of space, bandwidth and databases including FREE Domain and SSL Cert.

Why not try our New Cloud Servers, offering real flexibility, high availability and future proof scalability. Our Cloud Servers offer a real alternative for a dedicated server or VPS and you only pay for what you need when it comes to Cores, Space and Bandwidth. You can adjust your resources as your business demands and pay as you grow, so you’re not tied into a fixed high price upfront.

Of course all our other great hosting products are still available from the new site.

Let us know what you think about our new site
