BT - Hosting Facts Comments and Complaints

Hosting Package: BT Business Pack™ **

From www.bt.com/websites

£5.87 per month inc VAT

This is the BT package we hink you will find is best for starting. It is BT's cheapest substantial web-hosting package. It gives the user enough web space at 500MB for substantial site, and a bandwidth limit of 48GB, which is a lot more than you're likely to need. 

PC Magazine Review comments:

...a very generous monthly bandwidth limit..."

"BT's Business Pack isn't a bad deal, but compared with its similarly priced competitors, it isn't a really well-rounded or flexible hosting package."

Computer Shopper April 2008

No subdomains.

The Business Pack comes with BT's Business Email Lite package. This gives you 20 POP3 email accounts, which you must configure as an alias of an associated @btconnect.co.uk address.

IMAP support is limited to the more expensive Business Email Plus package, but you can still use Outlook through POP3 needs be.

A shared SSL facility is included for those who have to collect sensitive data, but sadly there is no form of database support.

As with all the other packages on test this month, registering and connecting your domain to the hosting account is a breeze: simply follow the onscreen instructions.

The Website Centre is basic but functional and provides a selection of useful tools, including some basic CGI scripts.

EasySiteWizard is available to create and publish a basic website, and there are also photo album, chat and blog tools. These are all useful for novice webmasters but, as with all similar tools, they won't create a particularly original site.

BT's Business Pack isn't a bad deal, but compared with its similarly priced competitors, it isn't a really well-rounded or flexible hosting package.
