The More Technical Stuff.

1 Circle

cPanel

The gold standard by which other panels are judged, cPanel, is included free with your KnownHost account so that you can simplify those hosting administrative tasks that otherwise would be distracting.

2 Circle

Management

Full server management means that KnownHost technical experts will handle the server technical matters, leaving you time to deal with your XMB forum site instead of learning Linux command line.

3 Circle

DDoS Protection

There’s a lot of automated attacks on websites these days, using zombie computers, in bulk, to attack websites. Knowing this, we’ve put in place DDoS protection to keep your site online.

4 Circle

Backups

Your backup system comes preconfigured as part of the hosting account setup process. You get full system snapshots that can be rolled back, allowing you to restore to a previous point in just a few clicks.

5 Circle

Setup

Want Shared, Reseller or VPS hosting? We’ll do the initial setup, instantly, at no additional charge and send you details within seconds of you completing the sign-up process.

6 Circle

Migration

Switching over from your old hosting, to KnownHost, is another one of those things we’ll help do, for free. It doesn’t have to be middle of the night. It doesn’t have to mean long downtimes.

Need More Information About
XMB Web Hosting?

The fully automated backup system takes a full system snapshot every day, giving you the ability to roll-back to yesterday, the day before, or a week ago. You can restore files, databases and emails with just a few clicks. All backups are stored off-server, so that you’ve got resilience / redundancy, in case of a catastrophic failure.

Read up on what’s allowed, and not allowed, on our ToS and AUP. We don’t allow things like hacking, warez and spamming, intellectual property infringing actions, or things that are illegal (or harm others). In short, if you plan on being a criminal – don’t even think about doing it here!

Your XMB hosting is protected by a 100% satisfaction, no questions asked, guarantee, during the first 30 days after sign-up, on all Shared, Reseller and VPS plans. We would like to know what’s the issue – because we want everyone to be satisfied!

Definitely not. You can have XMB installed on your account right alongside WordPress, or other blog application, just like you can also have a wiki, image gallery, guestbook, or other. There are limits to space and resources, but you’re not limited to just one application.
