LYCOS™ - Hosting Facts Comments and Complaints  

Hosting Package:  All In One + **•

£8.21 per month inc VAT

From www.lycos.co.uk

All In One + from Lycos UK is the most expensive web-hosting package in this test, but it comes with a wealth of tools, a generous 2GB of storage and a 20GB monthly bandwidth limit.

PC Magazine Review comments:

"Although All In One + is a relatively expensive package, its solid interface, technical proficiency and wealth of useful extras just about justify the price."
Computer Shopper April 2008

Lycos provides an E-Learning pack which is great for users who are unfamiliar with creating and running a website, . 200 plus articles can be downloaded as PDFs and Lycos inform us that they cover everything from basic HTML to PHP and SQL.

Content of this sort is available on the internet, but users will find it very useful to have all this information in one location, and they have a comprehensive help system as well.

Toolbar and photo album builders are useful, but most will use Social Web applications such as Facebook and Flikr.

Their WebBuilder application makes it easy to design and edit your site using template pages. But, beware thinking though that this will give you a particularly original webpage which will rank well though.

There is a basic CGI script library, which makes adding simple components to your site, such as the time and date, very easy.

You can upload your site by FTP or use the comprehensive online file manager, while support for FrontPage extensions means you can also publish directly from your desktop.

200 email accounts is quite generous and these can be created and accessed either through a webmail interface or using a POP3/IMAP client such as Microsoft Outlook.

Two SQL databases are included, and additional ones are available for 99p per month - much cheaper than for example Fasthosts.

These can be purely user-defined databases that are administered through phpMYAdmin or, alternatively, by one of the many open-source software titles available for direct install. Unlike the Fantastico suite offered with cPanel-based packages, not all the tools here eat up SQL slots.

SUMMARY
  • Excellent core specifications
  • 5 SQL databases and useful extra tools
  • Expensive
WEB-HOSTING PACKAGE

2GB storage, 20GB/month bandwidth, 200 email accounts, Linux OS. Domain included.
