| POP3 / IMAPOur mail servers let you select between POP3, where your mail is immediately removed from our servers as soon as it is collected, or IMAP where a copy of the mail resides on the mail server until you remove it. IMAP can be really useful in cases where you keep mail on your mail client but need to some times access messages using webmail, as the mail will still be available to you. We allow you to dynamically change and also mix and match your usage of either POP3 and IMAP mailboxes. | 10 | 100 | 300 |
| E-mail aliases/forwardersAliases are a useful feature enabling you to have multiple e-mail indentities. Supposing your mailbox is user@yourdomain.com but you also want to receive mail for sales@yourdomain.com. You can create an alias for the sales@yourdomain.com address and map it to your user@yourdomain.com address. Now your mailbox receives mail for both addresses. |

Why LX DEV hosting over regular hosting?
Start with the the environment
At first glance, you might think that our LX DEV developer hosting is no different to regular web hosting but there are important differences.
Our regular hosting is tuned to the needs of the many, and while equally capable, our developer hosting is tuned specifically to the needs of developers. It has developer focussed features and server limits and thresholds are tuned to expect and respond to those limits that our experience tells us that developers will hit, need and sometimes exceed.
By providing developer focussed hosting plans on a developer focussed hosting platform we know that we can provide the best environment with the power and flexibility that developers need, backed up by our legendary support.
Full control
What’s in a control panel? Well, most have features that allow you to perform fairly basic actions on your web site, such as create FTP users, mail account, use a file manager maybe change your DNS settings.
A good control panel will give you a bit more, and might include the ability to grant other users access to your panel, maybe install an SSL, view web stats and even make a backup.
Quite honestly, what you're really looking for is something that gives you complete control over everything you need to do as a developer, so you can configure your environment, upload your code and get to work.
But developers need a great control panel
A truly great control panel will give you complete control over your hosting. You’ll want to change PHP versions, change PHP processing engine, turn NGINX on or off, enter custom directives, tune PHP, view your error logs in real-time, optimise performance settings.
You’ll also want analytic extensions and SEO tools at your disposal and the ability to install Let’s Encrypt certificates to secure your site or application together with checking it performs well with built in Google PageSpeed insights.
If that wasn't enough you'd also need a built in, code ready editor and be able to use the control panel even if you were on a rare day off, mountain biking in a forest in Wales, with only just enough data to get by, and your boss has called you up because the goal posts just moved again.
Our LX Dev hosting, powered by Cloud Linux, Dells servers, and Plesk Onyx is everything Linux Developers need.
Why Cloud Linux
Cloud Linux provides the most stable environment to host multiple web sites as each site is isolated from others within it's own virtual environment.
This ensures that no one web site suffers from noisy neighbour syndrome and cannot be affected by another web site suddenly consuming resources. This approach also ensures that each environment is also more secure and stable than a traditional "normal" linux environment.
Powerful and fast web servers are deployed to deliver the fastest and most efficient processing of web sites including
Hosting Features
- PHP 5.6 to 7.x
- Node.JS
- Ruby
- Apache2
- NGINX
- SSH Access
Data Features

Why Hosting UK
