Website Hosting in Gibraltar: What to Check

The older version of this article included historical storage limits, backup schedules and comparisons with other providers. Those figures are not a current OXO offer. A hosting decision should be based on the requirements of your website and a clearly defined service.

Website and email requirements

Estimate the space needed by files, databases and mailboxes. Confirm whether email storage is separate or shared with the website allocation. Ask about supported applications, access and any usage limits before choosing a plan.

Performance and support

Consider the workload, visitor locations and support requirements. Server location alone does not establish how quickly a website will load. The application, images, caching and resource usage also matter.

Backups and recovery

Confirm the backup frequency, retention, what is included and how restoration works. A backup is useful only when it can be restored successfully. Keep responsibilities clear for the host, developer and business.

Security and ongoing care

Agree who handles updates, certificates, monitoring and incidents. Managed services differ in scope, so ask what is included rather than assuming all application work is covered.

Choose a current plan

Use the current hosting and website-care information or request a proposal. Storage allocations, response commitments and specialist server products should be confirmed for the specific service you select.
