"With 2.5GB of storage and a generous 20GB monthly bandwidth limit, the Starter Professional package has impressive specifications, and the email capability stretches to 1,000 1GB POP/IMAP mailboxes, complete with webmail access and spam protection."

 Actual Customer Feedback:

"Heart internet is fine if you only want to host a homepage or something very small."
Peter http://www.webhostingtalk.com

It offers a healthy range of extras, but the fantastico equivalent is not available unless you upgrade to the Home Professional package, which costs around £10 per month.

You manage your website and associated accounts through the extended control panel interface. This provides access to a wide variety of tools, but it's not particularly easy to navigate, partly because it's packed with only nominally useful extras, and partly because the important stuff isn't available in the initial interface, but buried one level down.

Heart Internet's hosting is based on Linux, so there's support for PHP 4 and 5, Perl and Python.

They use Sun ONE ASP, which provides ASP compatibility on a Linux server. You'll have to upgrade to the Home Professional package atabout £10 per month if later you want to gain SSH access for shopping sites etc.

Heart Internet's Starter Professional package provides good value. However, the lack of a SQL database will prevent blog creation.

This would be a good account for a club, if you want to operate a club and give each of the members their own email, this enormous email quota is a sure-fire winner for those occasions.

If you like to support regional companies Heart Internet is Nottingham-based. We ubdertand that it is also the latest project from the team that originally developed WebFusion and 123-Reg.
